3-9 2:14:56	rvn2001	That's what counts, Doug.
3-9 2:14:32	DAZed	Thanks, Thom. I would have done things a little differently, but overall I'm happy with it. (and he's really happy with it)
3-9 2:14:12	ejshelton	I didn't get it......
3-9 2:13:02	rvn2001	Looks good
3-9 2:12:22	rvn2001	That's a lot of highway lanes
3-9 2:10:59	DAZed	I sent a couple of pics of the bridge to y'all via FB messenger. It isn't done yet but gives you a good idea.
3-9 2:10:20	rvn2001	Nite Ellen.
3-9 2:09:48	ejshelton	Nite All
3-9 2:09:39	ejshelton	I'll be interested in seeing pics since I spent my childhood there.
3-9 2:09:15	ejshelton	I
3-9 2:08:59	ejshelton	ZU John
3-9 2:08:44	rvn2001	Nite, John.
3-9 2:08:41	GNFan	Bye John.
3-9 2:08:04	soccrdad30	well, time for me to go... have a good nite all!
3-9 2:07:43	soccrdad30	that would be cool, thanks Doug
3-9 2:07:23	ejshelton	WOW....Should have my house on it....lol
3-9 2:06:57	DAZed	I'll post some pics on FB once we get further along.
3-9 2:06:08	soccrdad30	very interesting
3-9 2:06:08	DAZed	heavy industry
3-9 2:05:49	DAZed	setting is south Chicago/Indiana in 2004-ish.
3-9 2:05:04	DAZed	yeah, it's a nice size layout. Setup for ops, can do continuous running with a few Free-moN modules in place.
3-9 2:04:07	soccrdad30	good size for N
3-9 2:02:13	DAZed	guessing....12x20 maybe?
3-9 2:01:23	soccrdad30	Doug, is this layout room sized?
3-9 2:00:14	DAZed	yes, he is. He is not hurting for funds....lol.
3-9 1:59:51	rvn2001	A label maker should fix it all...
3-9 1:59:39	soccrdad30	sounds like he is putting in some money for his layout
3-9 1:59:22	soccrdad30	great idea
3-9 1:59:13	DAZed	he has a few of us working now, trying to get ready for the fall shows and ops sessions he has planned.
3-9 1:58:36	DAZed	his layout room is such a mess that his workers spend half their time searching for tools, supplies, etc. So I told him that after my highway overpass was done I'm breaking out the label maker and getting things organized.
3-9 1:58:30	rvn2001	Just don't let it get wet, Doug.
3-9 1:57:20	DAZed	he also gave me some colored sanded grout. He had several large boxes of different colors and wanted to declutter (well, I told him we needed to declutter....lol). So we took each box, split it into two quart bags and tossed the rest. He kept one bag of each and I took the others. Probably a lifetime supply in Z.
3-9 1:57:01	soccrdad30	Steve, made one years ago for Ed Turner all out of styrene
3-9 1:56:00	rvn2001	Free is always good...
3-9 1:55:32	rvn2001	I don't usually do that. I try to find the actual building that I want.
3-9 1:55:17	DAZed	my friend gave me a grain elevator today that he bought and thought (correctly) that it was scaled too small for N. It wasn't a great model overall either, but I figured it could make a good temp structure. (and it was free)
3-9 1:54:44	soccrdad30	I have done that before
3-9 1:54:29	soccrdad30	right, I agree.
3-9 1:53:57	DAZed	I mean, some serve a purpose. For very little $$$ you can get something that "stands in" if nothing else.
3-9 1:51:31	soccrdad30	and Doug, I also agree with you some of the poor quality 3d prints that are out there
3-9 1:46:44	rvn2001	I agree.
3-9 1:46:27	soccrdad30	I like those type of buildings, they add more 'authentication' to the layout and scenery
3-9 1:43:50	rvn2001	I noticed that.
3-9 1:43:42	DAZed	can't type
3-9 1:43:37	DAZed	*buildings
3-9 1:43:20	DAZed	most of the building are of a specific prototype and he mentioned it in the descriptions
3-9 1:42:39	DAZed	he's a good modeler.
3-9 1:42:34	DAZed	yeah, I think definitely a "get what you pay for".
3-9 1:42:31	soccrdad30	but, not at the same quality I bet
3-9 1:42:19	DAZed	this is across scales, not Z specific
