Ralph,

Are we supposed to just use stuff that has been hanging out in our junk box, or can we go to the store for stuff? I can’t remember.

I think I’m confused… Wait, maybe I’m not. :stuck_out_tongue:


Steve,
Use what you have and buy what you need :slight_smile:

Post your builders log before April 1st under “Modeling”. Title it “Challenge2 your name here”

Ok,
Last day to step up and get in on the challenge. Thank you to all of you who have taken up the challenge.
Once again I’m adding to the prize booty. Newest addition is a cross buck made by Kaiser Aluminum. At almost 8 inches tall, it is a little large. But makes a fine decoration for the train room or office.

Ya lucky dawg.... I've spent the last 2 weeks hanging cabinets, hanging insulation and paneling, laying floor, shoveling snow.... and missing a clearance sale on a 8x8 wooden shed for $250 by 20 minutes (they ran out just before we got there)

On the way I found out that you CAN burn through $1500 in 2 days and mostly just wonder where in the he## it all went.

Meanwhile, I do have an idea for a project, all the parts (I think) – the REAL challenge is going to be FINDING half of it.

#87

I’m done and your thread Ralph.

what’s wrong?

more than a month left to the deadline - and some of you did not only start to build, but have finished their projects…
does nobody honour the old traditions anymore?
such as the armchair-planning-phase of a project?

#89

Mornin’, Korm, and a belated welcome from me :slight_smile:

Korm,
You are not alone. While past the planning stage, my project is still in pieces.
Since I have a half dozen different RR projects going on, I am likely to finish just
in the nick of time.

Im like Rooster A.D.D. Now I am in the process of building a single stall engine house, tearing sheatrock off a wall in my livingroom, replacing my front door, repainting the living room and putting new garage doors in plus working full time 10 hour days LOL

#93

#94

as far as I know you build to the scale you like. I did something along a 1/24…22…20.3 scale.

#95

Korm,
No scale in the rules.
What scale am I looking at in the picture?
Ralph

#96

you are looking at H0m or H0n (allways forget which of the two)
it is 1:87 on N gauge track.

#97

…grinning…

#98

H0m is for H0 Metre gauge on N (9 mm gauge) track.

#99
