Re: Irawaddy, Adventureland, and Zambezi Line - Jungle Navigation Company

I realize it's been a while since my last update - but I was feeling a little guilty of being the only one posting in the forum so often. I have been working away on the layout - with benchwork complete and landscaping commenced. Here's a few updates - First, I started from a very humble place - a s...

Re: Irawaddy, Adventureland, and Zambezi Line - Jungle Navigation Company

It's been a while since an update. But Christmas holidays were good to me. A Vanilla Visa from my Mother-in-law yielded the way to get the electricals for my layout via a Bachmann ready-to-run set , and I've been doing a bit of planning for my first step into a real layout. May I present to you the ...

Re: NWRR G Scale Loco Conversion

OK, Tommy... you got the gears in my head turning and they just wouldn't stop. Here's the model your work inspired - HO Scale (so the track is N scale). It's a 4x4 inch footprint: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50622837002_506c9f17af_n.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50622837072_ea3ba5f...

Re: The beginnings of my WDW Magic Kingdom N-Scale Layout.....

A lot of the images in your previous posts are broken - "URL signature expired" from the Facebook link - really interested in seeing more though. Care to share some fresh pics? Because this one small build is looking awesome!

Carolwood Pacific Track Plans

So I'm constantly keeping my eyes on the Van Eaton auction listings as they happen - I'm a data hoarder and absolutely love their high-res scans of their objects and listings. The Fall 2020 auction had a couple items I hadn't seen widely shared, so figured I'd start a thread to capture them here for...

Re: NWRR G Scale Loco Conversion

Yes, I agree, the boiler blue is too strong. I'll look into that color recommendation. I believe I still have the 3D files my brother & I used for the ore cars. I'd be happy to share them with anyone who wants them. Here's the link to our old page showing the ore cars. https://www.burnsland.com...

Re: NWRR G Scale Loco Conversion

Super excited to watch how this project progresses. Took a look back at the project you and your brother were working on - very impressive work there too. Do you still have the 3D files your brother used for the cars? They'd certainly come in handy with this project. And they were exquisite. I'm agr...

Re: Irawaddy, Adventureland, and Zambezi Line - Jungle Navigation Company

Another small update on some new small elements for the potential layout. I've wanted to start figuring out what vehicles should dot the landscape around the railway line. But Adventurelands around the world don't have all that many vehicles. So I dug into a Disney source from roughly the same perio...
