Mark W,L,&E Country: USA | Posts: 6444 quarryman Fireman Posted - 01/05/2011 :  2:38:26 PM       I guess it depends on where you look ... http://lifewastedchasingtrains.com/main.php?g2_itemId=2328 Tieplates on every tie, or http://lifewastedchasingtrains.com/main.php?g2_itemId=1271 no tieplates and barely spiked down at all. Mark Chase Richmond VA Country: USA | Posts: 1207 CieloVistaRy Fireman Posted - 01/05/2011 :  3:25:12 PM     This is fantastic! The trackwork, the rolling stock, the engines are all just utterly impeccable! Can you post a picture of the rolling gauges? Where could I get some? This is the first I've heard of it. Love each and every update that comes up here- the weathering is just so perfect.

Arthur thanks, I can't remember who made them, Racedirector sent them to me because he was switching back to HO scale. If he reads this I am sure he will tell us. Otherwise I will take a photo of them. Country: | Posts: 1415 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 01/05/2011 :  9:04:24 PM     Jeff, Fine looking track work, great color for the ties and rail. Larry Country: USA | Posts: 11895 WVM_Nut Engine Wiper Posted - 01/05/2011 :  10:28:48 PM     As both an Appalachian modeler, and a narrow gauger, I have to say your layout will most definitely be unique. That said, at least people model the MCRy. I model West Virginia Midland, an extremely unknown narrow gauge RR which connected with the B&O at one end and the Western Maryland at the other. Taplines has info on it and the grandson of O. W. Marsh, Jim Marsh (of Buckhannon, WV), has written a book on the RR and the surrounding area. The WVM later became Pardee & Curtin Lumber, but the RR ceased major operations in 1929 and ceased logging ops in 1942. My WVM is very freelanced, continuing in the 1950s. It also includes the Pickens & Webster Springs connector that was never built. Whatever happened to all of your HO Roanoke & Southern rolling stock? I collect private name Appalachian rolling stock and would have liked to have had a couple R&S hoppers/boxcars to run on the M&WV standard gauge. I either build 'em, or I blow 'em up. Depends on me mood, I guess. Country: | Posts: 221 Coaltrain Fireman Posted - 01/06/2011 :  10:29:34 AM     I am selling off most of the R&S rolling stock, I actually have someone that wants to take most of it together and build a version of the R&S. It sounds like I may have some boxcars left over and I can let you know, they are a mix of Accurail, Athearn, and Kadee cars. Country: | Posts: 1415 WVM_Nut Engine Wiper Posted - 01/06/2011 :  2:08:19 PM     I only need 1 of each (hopper, boxcar). If all you have are boxcars, that's OK. Still, a R&S hopper would look good under one of my loaders. Accurail or Athearn is fine, doesn't have to be a Kadee. Thanks, Jeff. I either build 'em, or I blow 'em up. Depends on me mood, I guess.

Country: Australia | Posts: 333 CieloVistaRy Fireman Posted - 01/08/2011 :  7:26:57 PM     Bruce, Thank you, I have just ordered a set of code 83 HO scale rollees. Arthur Arthur Country: USA | Posts: 5866 Coaltrain Fireman Posted - 01/21/2011 :  07:25:40 AM     progress report. I am just about finished re-gauging everything that was On30 to On3. I have one more locomotive to do and I will be done. When I am finished I will have four locomotives and 10 freight cars to run on the loop. I started a caboose based off the Mann's Creek caboose, a second caboose will be made at a later date, it will be a D&RG short caboose lettered for my railroad. The only reason why I want a D&RG short caboose is because I have always liked them and I started building one 25 years ago in HOn3 and never finished it, and I thought it would be fun to do an O scale version of it. Once I get the MC caboose done (I am about half way done with it) I will get back to the layout. I will have photos next week. Next on the layout will be to finish laying the rail in staging, wire up the switch machines, and do some scenery around the dump trestle so I can build the trestle. -18F here today Country: | Posts: 1415 racedirector Engine Wiper Posted - 01/22/2011 :  07:03:21 AM       quote: Originally posted by Coaltrain progress report.

Can't wait to see the caboose either! Cheers Bruce Nordstrand, Riverstone, NSW, Oz-stralia Back in HO...and stayin there! Country: Australia | Posts: 333 Martin Welberg Fireman Posted - 01/22/2011 :  08:05:51 AM       Everytime I visit this threath I'm breathless, I really like your track work, looks so natural to me... Country: Netherlands | Posts: 6736 evangardner Section Hand Posted - 01/22/2011 :  11:37:51 PM       I can't believe I missed this thread. It's been a very interesting 30 mins reading from the start. I've been keen on your work ever since I saw your weathered Climax. I am doing something similar once I finish my On30 layout. We have 3'6" gauge in NZ and I'm looking at modelling New Zealand bush railways in 1:48 i.e. On42. It's very similar to On3, only a difference of 3mm. Oh but how the difference from 16.5 makes the locos look so much more impressive. What I really wanted to know is how difficult it was to adapt the Climax to the wider gauge? Anyway, excellent work so far and I look forward to your ongoing progress. cheers Evan Gardner Christchurch, New Zealand http://www.ferrus-workshops.com Country: New Zealand | Posts: 89 CieloVistaRy Fireman Posted - 01/23/2011 :  1:52:39 PM     Looking forward to those pictures!
