Hopefully I don't make it to six...

Yay, things are happening! Can't say that about my railway.

Graeme, I'll tell you what happens to the snow when it melts. It seeps into our basement where the sump pumps both pump it back out and scare the hell out of our cat, and now there's a litter box in the mudroom. Neither I nor the other cat have ever noticed them.

[ This week the weather's been pretty decent for working outside, 60-70F (~15-20C) in the afternoons, but a lot of students have midterms right around now and the next few months are typically pretty heavy for schoolwork. Hope you're doing well, dudeface! We'll see you when we see you. I'm homescho...

Yes but I didn't find any of the things I need unfortunately. Ironically there actually was some G scale stuff there this year...

No entries yet?

Another air powered LEGO loco, this time with homemade track which I'm pretty impressed by (and also envious of the very large amount of beams he has).

Don't worry about the gouges, they add character!

Never heard of that color before

I disagree.

Wow, that's my area... it's entirely likely that I've seen this car in person! About 15-20 years ago I was a regular at the Iola car show and the Pierce Park one in Appleton, both within 1-2 hours northwest of Milwaukee. Always wished then that I had a classic car, now I know how much work it is to...

The headlights looked decent in the video at least... until you honked the horn...

Big fan of funny little cars myself, especially Messerschmitts... (Try making one of those into a railcar! )

Constantly thinking about what to do next my eyes gazed upon an item which I have shown in the past. This is something I decided not to modify, but time has a habit of changing things and so I set about it as my latest project....

Instead of coming up with my own compliment, I'll just reuse Drew's.

Looks like it's working nicely I like the rocks

Come on, think out of the box: A leaf blower to power the loco which in turn is powered by a petrol generator on the second wagon. :D Or just a non-kerosene-and-also-not-paraffin-because-they're-the-same-and-not-diesel-either-petroleum-distillate powered leafblower. (Autocorrect corrected it to lea...
