This thread both inspires me and annoys me!! It inspires me that someone can be so dedicated to a subject and have the inspiration, dedication and skill to be so committed to it. It annoys me that I can't get off my fat @#$@ and put in the same effort.
I've been crook, (sick for non Australians), for the past 18 months and find getting back to modelling hard. This thread is very much a part of keeping my interest going.
BigLars thanks for the thread. Thanks for keeping my interest alive. I hope you and all the readers and troops in the trenches have a very happy and healthy festive season.

Bruce thank you, I hope you get well enough to get back to modeling soon.
Philip Here is a Video link. It runs nice - just needs a little break in.
Some small amount of progress has occurred. I have finished a few mow white metal kits but nothing you have not seen before.
Still being stuck on proper bench work I have been looking into aluminum tube and joiners to complete my shadow box ideas. I have been researching the Dolly Varden build from Australia and am working on buying supplies to create something like they did.
No wish to hijack Larry's topic but I've just bought a Bachmann Grey Trench loco and want to change the white lettering and numbers to black to represent one sent to France. Does anyone know what Font Bachmann have used or what font the US Army used on their locos in 1918? Any help much appreciated.

Well you hijacked it! Here is some Proto types and a model of 1918 WW1 type Font. They were mostly Block lettering, and some can be found using Roman lettering.
Louis Pacific Northwest Logging in the East Coast Post count: 5000 posts added to below count.
I have been neglecting the WW1 project lately, ready to get back at it.
Three main projects need attention: DCC the fleet Light weight benchwork Proper chopper couplers that work.
Let's start with the DCC.
Test decoders purchased.
The most challenging of the motive power will be the open simplexes. Lets go for the hardest first. There is no room to hid the decoder so camouflage is the only option.
Wires run to the Spud drive, no room under the body for a decoder.
TCS m2 small decoder wired to a TCS KA4 keep alive above the deck.
It took two hours of trial and error to figure out the fit.
