i don’t know exactly, what i admire more…
the quality of this build, or the regularity of working at it.
Korm’s Jealous!
On30 has poked its nose into the TRR shops as well.
The exact track plan is still in a bit of flux, but that’s the general idea.
Later,

Looking good Tom.(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Fungating sporulating mold,
I love it when you talk dirty! Probably haven’t heard those terms since dental school.
Seriously, I’m watching closely with an idea toward building 7/8 scale mining/ loading scenes on hollow core doors I got from a neighbor’s trash and some 3" and 1" foam I’ve accumulated. Problem is I’m a live steamer, don’t know much about electrons so I’ll be especially keen on that part.
Thanks for keeping us up to date,
Tom
We used this term at medical school as well. I still see funky rashes like this here at our family practice in very rural Kentucky.
Good luck with your mining and loading scenes. I will look forward to seeing them…Doc Tom

Thanks Korm. I poke away at this about 15-20 minutes every day. One of the bennies of working indoors is you don’t get “rained out” or “snowed out” or “too hot out.” Doc Tom(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

I like his (Korm’s) work a lot too. Neat to see large scale indoors. Doc Tom

I like this a lot !!! Could you start a thread here in the On30 “offshoot” section of LSC?? Would like to share notes and maybe help keep Bachmann in the On30 business too. Doc Tom (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)

yes, i am a bit jealous at a lot of you guys.
seemingly most of you are better at time-management, than i am.
at the moment i don’t even find time for a little Devoning. let alone building something.
Korm, I have the same affliction as you do.
Korm said Devoning! (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
Lets not hijack Doc’s thread with this nonsensical talk of Devoning.
Devon, but thread-jacking is what we do here. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-undecided.gif)
Well that’s true, what page are we on?
Thread Jacking allowed and tolerated. Hey, its railroad related…
…well sorta. Doc Tom(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
Well we are way past page two so it is acceptable.

Putting down some rails. With the wires buried, it was time to lay down the On30 Peco track. This was done using construction adhesive to affix the track to the foam. I let the turnouts “float” to avoid any potential binding of their mechanisms.  On30 Peco "electrofrog" turnouts have some interesting wiring so that DCC Control can be used. Basically, it is placing insulated track connectors at the two sections of rail leaving from the frog.  With the track down it was time for some photos. Engineer Timmy poses with the hard-working Stearns Heisler.   He seems to have forgotten that this is very rural Tennessee/Kentucky and there are some strange creatures lurking about. Hopefully he will turn around soon and get the heck out of there!!  Doc Tom |
I hope the engineer has a parachute just in case he makes a right instead of a left…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)
