Hi Dennis,

Thanks for sharing your site, I like how that 8-man bunk was coming along. My husband is also in to trains and I have used my mini skills to help him build a few On30 things, although we mostly do HO. I think the last thing we built was a mudbug? I'm not sure if that is the right name, but it was something like that. We had to pull the motor out of a trolly car and assemble a kit around it.

We are actually taking our model railroad club to my sister's house tonight to work on her husband's HO layout that he started two years ago and got stuck on. My husband usually does the track and nature scenery things while I do the little buildings and other modeling things. But, doing the ballast has to be a team effort, or nobody is willing to do it! ;)

Hey cool! Now I feel less like the "odd man out" by being a model RRer here! :Jumpy:

Yeah, I know what a "Mudbug" is and as you probably saw, I'm a "multi-scaler" too... Do you have a site with RR stuff on it?

Best,

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for sharing your site! My father and grandfather used to build model railroads. My grandfather used to have one that took up his entire living room! He just kept adding sheets of plywood and expanding as he got more ideas. I like 1/12 scale, but that's what got me into minis. I suppose if the bug continues, my child or grandchild will become an architect or contractor, and build lifesize structures! :shifty:

Anyway, welcome! There are lots of wonderful people here to share ideas with, no matter what scale you build!
