Very nice work. Is this the first show you all have done with ballasted
track?

Yes. We had and “event” in which members spent a day putting down ballast, but
in the end Susan Michon did about 90% of the work (and has the dimpled thumbs to
prove it). We use mosaic kits from LLCA and have been chastised for buying them
out (didn’t seem that way at the time). Turns out 1 mosaic will handle 24 pieces
of track.

Looks very good. With all of that ballasted, I suppose your track
lines and yard are fairly fixed, no?

We always move things around. We sort of viewed the track only as fixed within
individual 32 x 32 baseplates. We can mix and match as necessary in the future.

I think I may “borrow” that cow design.
|
Well, we of course already borrowed it from the guys who did the original
motorized cows. We made a few changes and put in the linkages, but we have yet
to animate them at a show. Maybe for OCF.

I see that someone is doing some tagging
You’d have thought he was too busy. ;p

The elevated rail station’s roof has a delicate look, which is so hard to

That was built by David and Thomas. They do some of the best work in the world.

I’m diggin the use of binoculars and light sabers for the
lights. In this
 picture,
is that a vending machine to sell tickets?
|
Yup. Similar machines are in the big station.
BTW: To make the embedded pictures you chose show up, you need to right click
the image in scltc.org and select properties. Then use the URL that appears
there instead of the URL at the top of the page with the photo.

| (...) Interesting. How much rework would you have to do, with the switches and curves? MichLTC is looking at ballasting right now and it seems like a LOT of permeatations would have to be prepared. Or rework before an event. (...) Oh, I guess I (...) (20 years ago, 11-May-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
