I am dirty and wet. I put some rocks in position and washed them down. I put some dirt behind them and wet it so it will settle. The nozzle on the hose strted leaking. The dry desert dust/dirt is all over me, the tractor and everything around for 100 feet.

I am hoping that the rain coming Saturday will be more of a gentle rain rather then a could burst. The gentle rain will soak in and compact dirt. a Cloud Burst will wash stuff away

Last night/evening I was out in a damp Virga! 3 drops made it down and 1 found my neck! I heard the other two land.
Virga; a dry rain, we can see it falling .. up there. The evaporation does cool the air which does cool us as it drops down, well it is a dry heat.
We need the rain, we've had 1/10th of an inch since last summer's monsoons. Bad drought.

Here is the photo J.J.. Don't use the Attached Thumbnail box.. I'm still trying to fig. out how to get my thumbnails out on other post i did. Just use the insert yellow box the URL way for now. That seems to work by getting them into our storage space and then grabbing them from there to here.
Not sure what that thumbnail is good for? Hard to see what the photo is. Click on it and it dose nothing.

Oh Forgot to add.. With all of those Rock, you could really build a big big Mt. with lots of Tunnels. We would help you, we are just a tad bit aways from ya to help with our Bobcat. " 1/32 scale.. lol." Keep up the great work and photos.. Noel

Noel, for me I click on a thumbnail and it opens full size. They don't count against your storage space either and they are straight from hard drive with out saving somewhere.
Learn how to use them then decide ok?

Someone with a better understanding said they are hosted by the web site.
It lives in the thread as a live link to the big picture.
I like the spontaneity of it rather than pre loading, sometimes I'll remember a pic as I'm writing and adding the attachment is relatively easy.

Worked on the approach for the first Car Barn. Made and mounted the ground throws. Have to grind down the steel tracks I made for a smooth transition from the brass switch to the steel tracks leading into the carbarn. Hope to put the approach assembly down today ( Thursday )

Pictures later

JJ, you ever run trains, or just always in a constant construction mode? :)
Click to expand...


I am in construction mode now because every time I want to run trains I got to haul all the cars, engines, batteries, remotes and stuff from the house to the layout. There is a trail of bits and pieces that have broken off in the move every time I do this.

With the Car Barns they will already be on the layout and I can run trains just by hooking them up

Got the approach apron poured for the Second Car Barn. Did this one in Concrete. Pictures later...

Car Barn 1 was going to be a stub switch but I could not get it to work out.

I had issues with Pivot points and Rails lengthening and getting shorter

Maybe some other time
