Today's America is too much safety focused!
Dam insurance company's!
We now have to wear a no-max fire resistant overalls in most plants where I pickup chemicals.
And a lot of them all I have to do is drive to the rack!
Sucks as they are hot in the summer and in the winter unless you have a no-max outer coat they don't allow you to wear a coat!
So you can freeze to death that is OK.
They only give you an extra 12 seconds of protection against a fire.
And in the meantime your clothes can catch fire underneath them, then your screwed!
Dam Insurance company's! :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:
And the real safety hazards that exist in these companies they won't fix untill someone gets hurt!
Safety BS! It is all about them trying to make themselves look good!
Wow! Now thats a project. I hope your back is stronger than mine!
Checkout my layout. I just installed 2 Atlas undertable yeterday. Forgot how much it takes to get them lined up. You could really use 4 hands for that job. I went with Atlas due to $ for now. They work fine. Either way it adds to the neatness of a layout.
Big Ed has it right on a.s far as the saftey goes. As a truck modeler also, I gotta say, that is an awsome model, and the trackhoe makes an awsome load. I did heavy haul all my life, and hauled a lot of track hoes. My trucks are mostly HO scale, my trains are N scale. Nice layout btw.
thank you guys
sstlaure - they are 1:87 model power vehicles. two cayenne's, two vw tauregs, one defender 90, one discovery, one range rover, two four door wranglers, and a 1950 willy's:thumbsup:
Awesome....I keep hoping someone will come out with an old Bronco in 1:87 The Hotwheels are way to big and the Johnny Lightnings that are available are still probably closer to 1:64 (S-scale).
I'll have to keep my eyes out for those as I've got an off-road trail through the mountains planned.
I thought you were nuts when you took the sledge hammer to your old layout...
:lol_hitting:
"Why would any sane person destroy a layout like that?", I thought ... :retard:
Well, I "get it" now. I see the light. This Rev-2 layout of yours does a brilliant job of mixing rural and city scenes, with lots of really fun details. Very nice work!
thanks tj, yes big ed it was me that picture was before the three mile hike to Corona arch....the one I just posted was from where the arch is looking over the Colorado river and train tracks
There was an article in MR about a fellow who used some soft plastic rod to make his own cactus. He use a coarse file to make the arms and trunks as the real thing. Sure wish I still had that article. I can't remember what the plastic rod was other than it came in a white color. Memory must be the first thing to go.
