We've lost the Crocodile Hunter.
Just a handful of days left at this apartment.  All the packing and cleaning in the world is on my agenda for today.  The track on my model railroad is being glued down so I don't have to reassemble the layout at the new place.  Books are boxed.  I'm probably going to have a hundred pounds of trash out of my bedroom.

Locals - I'm going to be calling on you for help Friday evening/Saturday morning.  I'll move scads of boxed stuff and small furniture on my own Friday morning and afternoon, but the couches and some of my bookshelves are going to require assistance.  Compensation in pizza and good moving karma.

Sounds like good stuff. I was raised on OO/HO scale steam, mainly Great Western Railway. I don't have the room for a layout myself, but maybe one day.

Make sure you get some pics of the layout at some point, I'd love to see it.

Searched for GWR pictures over at railpictures.net a little while ago. Them's some fine looking steamers.

I built a testbed for this layout on a 2'x4' flooring panel - http://www.thortrains.net/nscale/nminis1.html and http://www.naisp.net/mfischer/m_train2.htm have some very nice plans for small railroads.

I'm going to get some in-progress pictures soon, hopefully before the end of the month. It'll be a good impetus for me to do more on the layout.
