Well since the pictures in the old topic were erased somehow I made this new one.  Here this is just pictures of what the tunnel started out as and how it looks now.  I couldn’t recover all the pictures but for as many as I did recover I think you guys will be more than happy with what I got.  Let me know whatcha think.   Enjoy.

Well I am now getting started on my Lady.  I have got a motor for it and also a good chasse for it to.  I need some advice on how to put this together.  The Lady I have in the pictures I am just using for measurements as it has to much paint wear and the back is not the right color.



N Scale motor.



ERTL Lady loco.

HenryBlue I am trying to make some of the hooks you have on some of your engines.  I am wondering what you make yours out of because I can't make em that well.  Here is what mine look like.

Ok I am making a movie called Scrap Yard To Hell and I need help from everyone.  I need people to play voices and I also need names for a couple engines.  HenryBlue I also need your help and I need help from Chaz to.  If you can help please let me know.  I am going to see if I can get my WMM to work.  Anyone interested in helping let me know.

Dear Mr. Bach-Man
I was wondering, can you purchase those little gray hooks on the Bachmann Thomas & Friends engines?   I want to get some to put on the rolling stock and the back of my Percy.  Am I able to get those or not?
                                                                                                                                                                                                     Thanks.

Hello Guys
Here is a look at the tunnel that I and the gang have been working on for the FPTP layout.  The tunnel is not yet finished yet as I still need to buy the portholes and Justin and Frank need to landscape the walls a little.  I also need to look for some buildings to put on top of the tunnel for a town.  I need to find a station for down under the tunnel.  After I get this whole tunnel thing done I can landscape around that and then start on adding a bit onto the other end of my layout for a round house.  Well here are some pics of the tunnel.  Enjoy.




These are pics of what the area looked like before.  Since I was on a tight schedule of trying to get this layout done enough so I could take it to the train show I just put a hill area at that end of the layout.


Well since I was putting the tunnel in like it is in the instruction book for the layout that first 2 feet of plaster and news paper on the side of the layout had to go.





I started to cut cardboard and hot glue it together then the tunnel started to actually look like a tunnel.





Justin had got me more cardboard so I could start the road way that travels up from the station to the town.  B.T.W. That red truck is the Sanford and Son Salvage truck.  L.O.L.




Well I thought that I was done but after sticking the level on the top of the tunnel I noticed it was not level.  Well the last thing in my mind was having to go back to the drawing board.  Well after that I cut out more cardboard.




Well I and Frank soon had the dang thing level.  After leveling it though the top had become bigger.  If I don’t look to happy in the 3rd picture I ain’t.  That was just miserable trying to make that dang roof fit.



Soon the last tunnel wall was put up the 3 of us were done.




Well here is a look at the tunnel fully put together.  Now all I need to do is get the gang around another time again and we can start on part 2 of the project.
