Can't beat Micro's Twin Peaks, but here is my AOTW. Got it off Amazon for $25,
free shipping. Going to put it on a flat car and make some more crazy videos
with it. Frank- don't look. You're computer might explode.

Cool Jeff. I'm looking forward to seeing some video you make with it.

A bridge from a old layout is aviable. Layout is gone but modelers work remains. It is a single track bridge about 40 or 50 feet high. It is all wood construction with iron support rods added for extra strength. About 300 feet in length. Four tower support the span from two embankment supports, a total of 6 supporting structures. There are 5 spans.
* The building see is a power station.

My AOTW... Two nicely detailed boats...
Just need some cleaning and dressing up and they will fit nicely onto my future planned dock scene!

| Like the Hotwheels camera car. I bought one some time back but have yet to use it. I've witnessed clips that were shot from one and they work well !!

Ahoy Maties! Finest looking scows I've er'er did see. Harbor scenes are
not often attempted. Look forward to seeing yours!
Yeah, I just gotta find the time to do the camera car. We'll have
to compare videos. I like to ham it up, so this will be a gas.
I have video planned out regarding Maria Antoinette and
the Sara Lee Tyco box car.

I'm struggling with this. There's a Northwestern Pacific RS-1 on eBay that I've been eyeing, but it's a custom paint job done from an undecorated Atlas model. I want to buy it, as it's the cheapest Buy It Now by about ~$10, but I'd feel bad buying it and then painting it in the scheme for Walkersville Northern.
sim-al2
Also since they cut track maintaince the trains had huge trouble making over the railroad by the end

yeah
They did a Rock Island volountarily

I guess this qualifies as an accessory.
A funky coupler with working cut lever action.
This actually locks and unlocks the coupler jaw.
Who made this thingy?

HOLY SH*T THAT IS AWESOME. I'd like to know who made it as well, and wondering if one could be made that was magnetically actuated. That'd shut up the rich rivet counters who've been whining about Kadee's gladhands without screwing over people who enjoy remote uncoupling.

Coupler: DeVore, I think. Roundhouse made one too but I think DeVore had a brass lift pin.
As for the rivet counters, they can angst all they want while we play with our train sets.
