| Very impressive. From this view point it could be mistaken for the real thing !
Looking at this gives me some great ideas.

Hi Robbie,
I reckon around 120+. Well, in just over two years collecting I'm almost half way there but there is a train of thought by some people around these parts that "you have enough already"  which, for my small railroad, is quite true. | |

| Marty, that's a nice looking train shed... It can still be a passenger terminal, a lot of the old/older style terminals had ""Train Sheds"" to keep people dry and snow free.........

| Marty,
I know it's late in the build, but I also have realized you love working on your railroad. So, how about building a big depot next to it, and making the sides removable. That way it can be a storage shed when you want, and a train shed when you want a large station. You have a great layout and I hope to make it in Sept., even if I don't have something ready to run.

thats an idea.
right now any sides can come off with 6 screws.
A good friend drop by awhile back when he was in town, very smart, wise , college type guy.
Kinda in to rocks, strange...
He said a few things that made me ,,,THINK!!!!
And I think I am going back to my original vision of how I wanted it.
That is open mainline running.
I like to just let the trains go.
I have always believed as the good book says, man (woman) without a vision will perish.
Same with GRRers. You need goals and a vision and get out and make it happen. | |

| Very cool, Marty! Why don't you escape the heat and humidity and come out to God's Country and build one for me? We may hit 80 degrees today.
Cheers,
Matt | | | |
