Pretty cool. I really like the snowcat.
That's so damn cool! Loved the old fashioned Tonka type trucks and the RC technology has made modern equivalents so very fun to play with.
I love old toys. I have a whole lot of Lionel O & O27 trains, track & accessories, plus a bit of American Flyer sets and track too. I really want to get that stuff set-up one of these days. The bad part of my stuff is it takes a lot of room to setup decent.
Built the truck waiting for a Mustang I had ordered 2020. Played around with it, and got bored. It was a car that was only fun to track, and track days wasted a lot of time waiting, and opening & the rainouts just got to be too much trouble. I sold the car in July 2024, 6k miles was track-ready to a new owner. The Mustang on the street was just another, Mustang on the street..
Still have the HotRods 34 coupe & 32 truck and are still fun.
Needing a new hobby to keep me busy, and having the room that the old layout was in. Call a contractor in to finish the ceiling & repaint the room a new build thread has begun.
This is the same wall as above

You need some props and suspend it from a oval track to orbit the room!
Paint the support rod the same blue as the backdrop.
Great minds think alike, The ideas are on the punch list already. I am checking the turn & approach angles. left turn 8.12* down 7.25*
The plane is headed to the other wall, where the airport is. Pass to the right of the runway, go right & land behind the Piper Cub when cleared.

Speaking of props, how about spinning (rare) ?

Fantastic idea!!! Love it Pep -- what a wonderful addition to a layout. Thanks for sharing
Hello
Plane is almost ready to fly, is now painted. Just needs the landing gear to be hung & the deicing boots painted. Probably will brush paint those

As with all paint work, the prep takes the time. I spent 4 hours per side, bottom & top. Using an airbrush spray out 20 mins each top & underside.

That looks amazing. Would love to see the rest of it.
Looks great!

Had to get him in the air, back to laying the track & building the RR.

Bloody fabulous.
Some newer shots reached the Doraville Great Gap crossing. Connecting both mainlines for a full around-the-room run. It will be disabled this weekend to tape & weather the track, and installed permanently.
Once done, you can guess what happens next.

Gutted the electronics, installed the DCC module. This is the engineer. It allows me to run 2 or more trains on the same track at different speeds & directions.

Ready to cross the Doraville Great Gap
