Come on. Marconi. Time to quit hiding behind your “New Age” railroad and give up on the “Fairy Dust”.
I know that RR of yours is up in snow country…so you need a plow.
A Rail Inspection car…how about a bucket truck so your men can install the station clock :wink:

Cool. That means I need to come up with an idea. Another gentleman's "weekend project" was my plan A. So now I need a plan B. Ralph

Nothing in your rules about duplicates. We could all wind up building the same thing. Hell do like I did and cut through the snow every 10’ or 12’ and just blast through :slight_smile: :wink:

No rule about duplicates. But he pretty much did what I was planning, step by step. I may go with the same basic idea and change it up a bit. Ralph

Your a good man

I’ve been thinking (hear the gears grinding?) and have come up with an idea. I’m in even though I don’t have the skills that everyone else has. It’ll be fun and I have a car that wants to be bashed!

#56

Clarification question… Prototype MoW or is GRR MoW alolwed as well? I had a weird idee and was curious if it qualified.

Not that I can actually FIND anything at the moment. The whole bloody trailer is chest high with packing boxes.

Those waiting for packages from me, please bear with me… I hope to have everything re-located and shipped by Wednesday. I HAD everything laid out to go early last week, but Kim’s niece was a little exuberant ‘helping’ that day and it all got boxed and tossed in the moving van without my knowledge :frowning:

#57

Mik,
GRR MOW is OK.
Geoff George is building a weed spraying car, I believe.

#58

Like I told you Mik, moving is sooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!
