Great room Carl, many, many good modeling projects must come from here!
They announced the 2017 EXPO location...Altoona, PA. November 2-4, 2017. Easy drive distance for me so I'll be there...should be able to get another build or two in by then! Ken
I am taking orders for the shop just kidding it will turn out to be a woodworking shop. Well Ed I was born and raised in Philadelphia but have not lived there since went into the Marine Corps in 1960. Carl
The pain and agony of my current building woes have come to a glorious end. My club asked me to build this for them and being a nice guy I did. I will admit I was flattered. The only issue was this plastic monster was probably the worst assortment of plastic bits I ever messed with in my life. I missed the wonderful manuals that Brett provides as well. Just thought I would share it with you guys. Now where did I leave off on my build thread with that old curmudgeon.
Great build how long did it take you to sort out all of the parts and then put everything together. I built the hotel from the guy in Ca all plastic and never again. Nice Work. Carl
Ed, There is Alabama on top and I don't think it matters who is behind them. Ohio State, Clemson and Washington are several steps behind them. I watched Ohio State throughout the year and their offense has been so weak against better teams that Alabama might get a shut out against them. That being said they have to play the games and Alabama might give it away. At least that's what their opponents hope.
Hi Steve No I build in the house basement all of the equipment was in the basement and not enough room , So I built the shop and made some space to work on my stuff. Thank's for looking
Dallas is an awesome modeler and a real character. He is the founder/owner of Boulder Valley, an On30 rolling stock manuf. now retired. The Chambers build paid tribute to one hell of a man, Mike Chambers. Mike passed away from cancer and I miss him. Mike and his wife Kathy were good friends and Mike was a swsm supporter from day one. I suspect had Dallas spent more time modeling and less time "goofing off" he would have completed the build - but I also suspect Dallas had more fun playing around with his posting so no harm!!!!

I don't know if you guys are aware that Dallas is now general manager of Kleins (Model Train Stuff) and has shut down his operation.

I've planted myself in Lancaster, Ohio, half hour SE of Columbus. I can reach Altoona in say 3.5-4 hours.
