hi, what i meant was i cant find it for purchase.  i know what it looks like from the magazine.  but i cant find it on ebay and the local hobby shop doesnt have it.  they would order it but charge me top dollar.  not in this economy.  going to a train show in aug.  maybe i will get lucky and someone will have it.

right here, its in the traditional line in williams,

what does that mean

i bought old issues of classic toy train magazines.  i ran across this train i just got to have.  its the GM Electromotive Diesel.  Usually you can find anything on ebay but this ones not there.  Does anyone know where i can find this Williams beauty. its the bl2

thanks
Don

thanks Ray, 2 questions.  you said just slide the ties under the track but my track in sealed with the ballast.  do i have to rip it up.  if so i think i will just wait for the next layout to do that.  2nd question is the train depot.  i figured my layout was a farm out in the country so it would be just a passing train.  i actually worked about 4 hours on it last night.  i really dont have much left to do.  i should be done by thursday.

hi Ray,  how do i get the ties on the track.  do i have to rip up the ballast.  thanks.  all i have on the layout right now is the track and a plasticville farm and some animals.  going to do a lot this weekend. 

house
swing set
2 roads
crossing gate
farmers market
trestle bridge
pond
airplane
diecast farm machines and cars

so will see if i can get it all done.  i think the hardest will be the pond and hooking up the swingset and crossing gate.  the other stuff is just put it in and done.

hi everyone,  everytime i log in i always choose something like 500 minutes to stay logged in, but then an hour or so later i come back to the site and i have to log again.  is it broke or something.  or am i doing something wrong

thanks

good idea.  my track is ten feet long and i did the ballast all at once.  think next time i will do it in halves.  also i used the green grass mat.  now i realize that was probally not a good idea.  it looks just too  uniform.  but with the track now nailed and ballasted down guess thats it.  i guess i could use the ground cover to break it up and just throw it over the grass.  also this morning i just learned about foam and cork.  my track is right on the matted grass on the plywood.  kinda loud.  but the ballast seems to help some too.  oh well. 

oh. i thought it was 072 curve but when i saw a pic of that it looked wider than mine but i swear thats what the guy said at the hobby shop.  was not the main guy was a younger guy their.  he probally made a mistake.

here is a pic of my track, i actually liked the way it came up but be brutal.  hope i can get this pic right.
