SUMMERS JUST ABOUT OVER / MODELING SEASON BEGINS

Hi everyone.  Well, pretty soon we will all be dusting off our workbenches and getting back to some serious modeling.  I have to admit that during this summer we have seen some great builds.  Maybe I’m the only on that didn’t build much during the summer.  Anyway, we usually kick off the new year with the Indianapolis O Scale show at the end of September.  This year will be no different except , this year, Jim Canter and Ron Sebastian of Des Planes Hobbies have teamed up to host the O Scale National Convention combined with the Indy Show.  Goin to be a great time.  We won’t have the switching layout with us this time, but we will have a couple of tables and a new display.  Come and visit.  This year we would like to spend some time getting an idea of what you want us to develope in the near future.  So come on by and lets talk.  Don’t know exactly where we will be located at the show yet.  As we get more info, we’ll pass it along.

The meet is at the Wyndham Hotel in Indianapolis and runs from Sept 21st. to the 25th.  See you all there.  For more information go to www.2011oscalenational.com

CUSTOMER REQUEST FOR PICTURES

Recently a customer asked for some additional pictures of the Steel Shed with Windows kit, so I thought I would share them with you all.

FREEBIE file correction

One of our sharp-eyed N Scale builders noticed that there was a missing sheet in the N Scale STEEL SHED w/WINDOWS download and the sheet that was there was a duplicate.  Well to all, “SORRY ‘BOUT THAT”!  It’s been fixed.  I’ll try to be more careful.

MIX & MATCH SCALES for an EFFECTIVE DISPLAY

This is a flat that is on display at Park Lane Hobbies in Dyer Indiana.

The vehicles are HO.  These buildings are all based on our American Pipe kit.  The building on the right is O scale and is pretty much stock except for the replacement of the left door with an HO one.  The center and left buildings are HO.  The center one has had a second row of windows added, while the left building is pretty much scratch built from kit parts.  All have had three dimensional piping and structure added to enhance their already outstanding appearance.  So don’t be afraid to mix it up scale wise.
