Spruce Coal & Timber (May - Lots of pics)

Great Job!

Fantastic!!

 

It would be nice if you'd separate the pictures, though. (Sorry, a pet peeve of mine).

 

Are the buildings kit or scratch?

 

Nice photography, as well.

I love the work you've done, Joey - absolutely, truly magnificent.

 

Vulcan, I agree that shots placed one right below the previous one can be confusing.  But I'm guilty of doing it too - how do you avoid that??

When you are making the post, the window you are working in is rather small, you can expand it by "grabbing" a corner and pulling it larger (this helps). Then place the cursor at the bottom right corner of the picture and hit enter a couple of times. You have to do this with each picture. It's a bit of a pita but worth it in my opinion.

Everyone happy with the spacing now?

Much easier on the eyes. Thanks !

 

I didn't mean to cause a distraction. Sorry.

VERY nice work, Joey!  A real feast for the eyes and the imagination!

Spacing don't matter!! Awesome layout!

Absolutely Fantastic!

Yeow ! Fantastic work ! Double yeow ! Scrappy

Great work! Going to check out your other stuff. Thanks for posting .....

Thanks for the nice comments folks! 

Joey,

 

Very inspirational!  Great work!

Joey, absolutely fantastic work!  The quality of your work is above reproach.

 

Please tell me that your beautiful trackwork is commercial and not hand laid one tie at a time!  I might have missed any description of its construction.

 

Your track is just perfect for a coal mining tram road with no ballast except fine coal and slate burying the ties.

 

Keep it coming!

Tony and folks thank you, It's all hand laid code atlas code 83 rail taken from left over flex track. I built the turnouts in a jig and the ties are from Mt Albert lumber with your standard PC board ties at joints and under the turnouts. 

 

Most people think hand laying track is time consuming and hard, but it is not at all.

Turnouts are obviously more work to make, but are well worth the effort. 

I just subscribed too. Great work Joey!

Joey....your modeling is the best!!  BEAUTIFUL work and so realistic.  Also...I got the same "suggestion" as far as spacing the pictures when I first started posting and while it does help separate each picture, it is no big deal so don't worry about it. 

 

You are going to make me want to add on to the layout to do some narrow gauge....!!

 

Alan

You're right, with some pictures it's no big deal. But with Joey's, they should be shown in the best presentation possible.

 

Vulcan....lay off and let Joey and anybody else present their pictures the way they want.  Instead of commenting about spaces between the pictures, the focus should be on his work which in many folk's mind is as good as it gets. 

Folks will see much more of Joey's craftsmanship in our Feb. 2014 issue of the magazine.  It was a real pleasure working with him in the development of that feature.

Congrats, Joey!! I'm sure it will be an amazing article.

 

I don't believe I ever said your work was anything less than "fantastic".

Dang, you done a great job with your modeling. I could feel the nostalgia!

 

And the play scenes are set up leads ones helps to take ones imagination on

 

a trip to a bygone era!

Joey, excellent work! Excellent photography as well! Mark Boyce Butler, Pennsylvania

Allan, thanks for featuring Joey's work!
