"Dragging a double deck autorack  behind your 10 wheeler will always raise a rivet counters blood pressure by 10 points."- Been there done that  ;D , although it was a 2-8-0 and double stack cars  :)


"Trains will run FLAWLESSLY until a visiter comes" , same goes for video camers  ;D

General Discussion / Drywall board as layout base?

Can drywall board be used for a layout, my dad has a ton left over in the basement from when we finsed part of it off for my grandma.

It bad enough having my 2-8-0 haul double stacks, could you imagine the look I'd get with a k-27 painted in CSX's YN3 scheme  ;D , the reason I dont have it yet is that I ordered thge sound equiped version, a few of the non sound models have been shiped but supsidly the sound ones are somewhere in the states on their way to durango to be sound equped and tested.

"What happened to your steamers? Your roster section doesn't include them."   This is just a site for my shortline, If you read at the top of my inital post "(still need to make a new one for my CSX stuff)" then you'd understand, My CSX equipment is about 80% of my total combined roster (EM, CSX, and Conrail) , EM having about 13% and Conrail 7% (these are just rough estimates). That alone is about 30 freight cars for CSX!  ;D (i have 40+ right now  :) )

Must be UP's  executive jet  :) , wounder what sharp steel wheels would do a runway  ;D

This is a more common occurance than you might think, thankfully this time it was just a lone GP30, the engineer was reported to be under the infulence.


CSX work crew: I guess we wont be needing this!  ;D
