I do track work, but only with rail on wooden with four spikes per tie. No flex track for me. Wiring, I am not familiar with the term. Was that something used...
Oh, forgot to add - 5. Benchwork modifications needed for the Bridge Street Overpass (includes adding foamboard to create base for street underpass. I actually...
I don't know, Marty -- the Official Bernie Edition of the Micro-Mark Trains catalog has a cover shot that looks to me like Bernie is pretty good with track....
Oh great, another night like the one where I spend hours wiring feeders . . . and Christine came downstairs and went on and on about Bernie's backdrop...
The catalog picture is false advertising and fraudulent . . . Bernie apparently doesn't even know how to hold the spiking pliers properly . . . and the photo...
We usually just feed him pizza . . . provided Beauregard doesn't get it first. Although Christine may actually cook dinner tomorrow night. ... From: "Phillip...
When Paul Dolkos went from modeling the B&M to the Baltimore Harbor District he found several of his freight cars that were perfect for northern New England...
What, no brake detail on the flat? Shame.... :>) Nice stuff Marty. Bill From: Marty McGuirk Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2012 11:07 AM To: SNE RY ; Proto-Layouts ...
I know, but if you're going for blackmail, ya gotta go with what's on the street with street cred. Public Bernie's photo in the big, fancy catalog, holding...
If you ever want to get rid of those Rutland cars, I happen to know a nice Rutland layout based in Canada that would love to put them on the rails. Just...
While we're all familiar with what 'wiring' is for under the layout, I think definition three applies to Bernie (and fairly, probably anyone else that's a...
Marty, Cars look great in service against a very impressive scenic treatment. I too like the "builders plate" and the CDS Lettering logo and #. Good idea to...
Thanks Art, In looking at the photos, all I could think of was "Wow, I need to get some ballast down . . ." ( I hate ballasting track) but at least the track...
Stic, Know it's short notice, but you're more than welcome to join the fun . . . you can meet the four leggers . . . and I'm planning to be working on some...
Dammit! I'd be over in a heartbeat, but al flying to Atlanta tomorrow evening for a wedding. Next time I'd love to see Bernie not do track work! Stic Sent...
Stic, You're welcome anytime. I'd like to institute regular "work sessions" but frankly I'm not organized enough - I don't know how Craig B and others manage...

Our Friday night work session went pretty well, although we didn't get as much done as I'd hoped. Bernie got a really good start at the Bridge Street overpass...
Marty, Great to see your progress on the layout (and get a laugh or two listening to you and Bernie!) last Friday. You two are like the Odd Couple of Model...
Glad you were able to stop by. I need to double check the ballast containers - which means finding the things. I know they're Smith & Sons - I'd recommend...
Hope all had a good weekend. The weather on Saturday was pretty miserable, so I was able to spend some time in the basement. Tracklaying proceeds at a slow,...
... Marty, You really need Charlie Crocker and James Strobridge to run your track gang. On April 28, 1869 Chinese track layers "laid ten miles 185 feet in one...
I've been so consumed with benchwork, track, and wiring over the last couple of years that I haven't added any new cars to the layout - although the pile of...
I added a little more detail on the iphone lens to this post, and included a slightly smaller image file: I put a little more complete look at the progress I...
