I like the Maine two footers!<br />DeanDean Kershnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681145885290780340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093639789047271332.post-88932441819275753122013-02-18T09:45:40.241-06:002013-02-18T09:45:40.241-06:00I've just spent a VERY enjoyable 20 minutes wa...I've just spent a VERY enjoyable 20 minutes wandering around your site. Both the site and your modeling have given me a bunch of ideas. I particularly like what you did with the Atlas turntable -- I have one that I tried to install under a layer of 1" foam to make a recessed pit, but I can't seem to get the %$#@ thing to work right , so it just sits there and mocks me! Now I'm tempted to start over with a surface mount installation. Of course, your model of the the famous letter L gondola is truly inspirational -- we just gotta get one for the club layout ASAP (www.crmha.org); our Brevard And Rocky Flats (BARF!) branch line would provide the perfect setting for such a useful item. Anyway, your site is great -- it really does convey how much fun you're having at playing trains. Thanks! <br /><br />BTW, and if you're interested, you can check out my own first attempt at a website at www.sandysacerr.com. My Acadian Coast Eastern is another fictitious but plausible (protolanced? freetyped?)short line - a "shoulda-been" 2-footer in Maine. My wife set me up with a Godaddy site for my birthday last month, and after endless fussin' and cussin', I finally got the courage late last week to start letting the world know it's there.

My layout also was modeled after the Milwaukee Road. It just happens to start 10 years after the SOO LINE acquired it. I remember growing up as a kid watching the Orange and Black Milwaukee Road GP's lumbering through Davenport and Bettendorf. You've got quite an impressive layout.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.<br />(Don't let the anti 4 x 8 crowd get to you, it takes imagination and maybe some modifications, but they can be made great)<br />DeanDean Kershnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681145885290780340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4093639789047271332.post-12410226553871571352011-10-02T14:17:23.282-05:002011-10-02T14:17:23.282-05:00Thank you for your wonderful blog!

You have shown me what can be done with an Atlas plan, and it is much appreciated! Your layout is wonderful.Craig Cnoreply@blogger.com
