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.

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.

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.

Oh, I guess I hadn’t noticed that it was a borrow from them.

I’m diggin the use of binoculars and light sabers for the

is that a vending machine to sell tickets?

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.

I actually got the effect I was looking for, as I wasn’t trying to imbed the
images, just link to them. I don’t like the look of such big pictures in a
lugnet post. Guess I could have used the thumbnails though.
Oh and I use Firefox, not IE, so I would only have to right click and then “copy
image location” to get the individual image url. Mmm... Firefox. Just updated to
1.0.3 today actually.

| (...) The jury is out, of course, since this is the first time we have done ballasting. My feeling is that we will be able to reuse quite a bit even with big changes. The primary reason we used ballast this time is because we wanted a big meandering (...) (20 years ago, 11-May-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)

| (...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 11-May-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, FTX)
