Melgar, maybe you could talk Atlas into building you one and while you're at it, try getting them to build some MoPac cabooses too, I need a couple. I loved your layout shots and sure wish I had the space to build a decent sized layout that I could work on without having to do it from a ladder. I now have my around the doorway layout (11'X12') running, I can run Legacy, TMCC, DCS and Conventional on it. I have 0-72 up front and 0-81 ( both Atlas 21st Century track) in the back. I ran my Legacy GS-4 yesterday along with the 21" Daylight cars that go with it and the passenger cars don't really like the 0-72 curves. I could hear them squeak as they went around the curve and then I moved them to the back and the car diaphragms didn't really like the 0-81 curves that much, they would rub a tiny bit as they entered the curves. I'm adding some buildings on top and will post a video or two as I get things more proper looking. Now I need to find and unpack my scenery materials and start making some trees for it in my spare time. I plan on adding some clouds to the sky blue walls just to give it a little added look.
Peter, loved your pics also, the 2nd to the last where the man has his arms outstretched like he's getting ready to wrestle a bear or something, I wonder what kind of a story he was telling. Malcom, you did a really nice job on the switch engine, great looking spark arresters, now days, it just never fails, you take your time scratch building something and like you said, as soon as you finished them, you found some already made. Great looking job on them and I'll bet yours are every bit as good as the others maybe even better. Good thing is, you had the satisfaction of building them yourself.
Great shots and subjects this week guys, thanks for the interesting material and thoughts. Have safe and wonderful weekend.
