Anyone except me do model trains?

Here's a "slide show/movie" of my dad's train layout and airplane.

We're still working out the actual "layout" part [eg. trees, etc. etc.].

There's a picture of a track going underneath a corner piece of the wood. What is that you ask? There's a spot in the middle of the layout so whoever is running the trains can hide [lol]. If a train messes up, you can put them on that track and pull them to us on the inside part and work on them.

I don't know the details but my uncle makes them. His largest took him about 6 months I think.

Hes an Architect so I guess that helps

WOW! very nice layout and E-51 (e stands for experimental, usually, kit build aircraft will be classified as E or X)

my dad does model airplanes, right now hes working on a Neuport 17, big WWI biplane, about a 9 ft wingspan lol.

I WANTS ONE OF THOSE KIT PLANES!!

Yeah, my dad would take the wings off of the plane, making the plane very light, and we would roll it outside to our basketball goal [which is anchored very well into the ground].

My dad would anchor the back of the plane to the basketball goal [very securely], and we would put the wings back on the plane. Then, my dad would get in the plane, and start it up. The reason he would secure the plane is so it wouldn't take off.

Then, me and my sister would untie the anchor, and he would drive in circles around our house. We live on 2 acres.

I love that airplane.

bigshot,

that layout is cool,  I enjoyed the movie.

Orbit, your layout is cool also, and I like that plain.


Now you 2 made me want to get downstairs and start my own layout.
