One of my best friends in high school granddad was big into trains. he had the whole setup with control area. Had all kinds of shops on storrfront, elaborate scenery, with moutains, tunnels, snow, lake, everything.
Oh yes, the memories. I'll take this back a bit further and remember when we had a big train set...back in the 40's. It was a really big train. We didn't have a lot of track but did have a crossover a few buildings and the engine would smoke and had a light on the front too. We had a ball. We had to set it up in the attic as that was the only place we had room but no, we did not have any plywood that I remember. Hope you guys have some fun with this.
Man, I hope they're Crayolas. Dem's da bomb. Goodest. The ones from Big Boy (the restaurant) aren't very useful. A little light reading for our edification............ History of APA, Plywood, and Engineered Wood
My addiction is slot cars, I have a ton of cars track and projects that I wont live long enough to finish.
Used to tear up some slot cars as a kid..... Would love to get a hold of a track and a few cars one day....
Well right now I am in the middle of building a table for a new layout but first chance I get I will take some pictures, I have built some old style dirt modifieds (coupes and sedans) that I enjoy as I grew up watching them at the Spencer fair and Alta raceway.
Experamenting with different substrate matterials. I am thinking green tinted cornmeal will be a keystone in our design. Also, maybe coffee and even some instant coffee for lighter brown.
This thread go me to thinking of the Train set we had as kids. Called my dad to see of it was still in the attic and he started laughing. my brother had the same question a couple of weeks ago he took it home last sunday. Hope it still works dad said its been over 30 years since the last time it was setup
Cheese grits and panko bread crumbs so far. They all still damp, need to dry back out. Also, they are on a dirty pan from supper. I dont plan to use this batch.
