Another newbie gets hooked!
« on: August 18, 2010, 12:01:09 AM »
Hi all, I am an old 72 year old, retired guy who likes to model railroad items in 1.6" scale and am always looking for ways to solve problems and acquire new skills to accomplish that task. I look forward to picking up some ideas from this forum. I am listing a couple of photographs of my 1.6" scale Northern Pacific S4 (ten wheeler) locomotive that is under construction and my, almost complete, wooden caboose that took a couple of awards at the NP convention that was held here in Spokane, WA in July.

Don't know why images did not come up, but, you can see those photos in my gallery.
Please see my gallery at: http://picasaweb.google.com/pedminster Best regards, Phil Sr.
