Fantastic work ! Congratulation !

Very nice work on this presentation. Though I do not model the same era I enjoyed looking at all the progress photo’s and seeing some of the techniques you employ in working with current materials. I also passed this along in my weekly email blast to others who are doing a similar time period.

Mike -

Very nice work. I was going to build my roundhouse using foam board but now I'm thinking I'll reconsider styrene. Nice job.

Mike,
It's looking absolutely fantastic. Hope to catch a glimpse again in November, to see all the changes. Best to Karen!

Hello guys; I am building my yard now,but not sure what turn outs I should be using to get that nice side by side look of the track.What would you suggest I us?Right now I am using #6 turn outs by Atlas,but the problem I see there is the turn out is so long.
Thank you and I look forward for your help.

These are great! I wish I learned how to create a minature world like yours years ago before I got rid of all my trains. Great photos as well!
Best of luck with your project.

Fascinating stuff. Great details and documentation.

Outstanding, Mike! I'm very impressed with your level of detail, as well as your well done grasp of "feel & texture" for the scenes you're modeling. Looking forward to seeing this in person... thanks for bringing us along on your creative adventures!

Beautiful work, Mike !
Too bad you're so far away, I loved visit your layout !
I loved your trees. What technique do you use ?

Hello Mike,

great landscape and much work you did. Wonderful.

Much people here in germany spend all their free time to create such scenes. In our club some peoples build modules in scale H0e (small train you know there ?)

I hope to find new pics in the next time

Mike, Looks like your layout is a real treat!

Mike - sorry for confusing you with Mike Confalone. I had put his name into Google and
one of the first hits was "MIKE'S HO SCALE LAYOUT UNDER CONSTRUCTION." I shoud have stopped to read that fact that the name Mike was correct, but not the last name. Your landscaping techniuqes are fantastic and your site was a valuable find for me.

Tom, thanks for the nice comments, but I think you have me confused with somebody else on that Hardwick & Woodbury, could that be Mike Confalone, maybe?
Tom Rimer 26-Feb-2007 11:35
Mike - Beautiful work! Also enjoyed your Hardwick & Woodbury Division in the MODEL RAILROAD PLANNING 2007 issue. Any photos of the Black Lake wood chipper and loader?
Eric Goodman 05-Sep-2006 02:28
Mike, Nice work. Looks like a world class layout.
Phil Lord 02-Jun-2006 22:23
Enjoyed the tree workshop at Collinsville today. I am afraid to add these good trees to my layout....they will make my other trees look shabby.
George Maloof 09-May-2006 19:52
Mike,

Very nice work. Very inspiring. Keep those pictures coming.
Dave Owens 12-Dec-2005 22:29

Looking very, very good. Thanks for the inspiration.

Mike;
Great to see a prototype layout with all the bells and whistles. That was a huge amount of work, and it is paying off.

No wonder you have disappeared!

Happy Holidays.

Mike,

You HAVE been busy with the trees. Very nice indeed. You've sucessfully conveyed a summer in Pennsylvania look. NICE.

Mike, very interesting ! Great stuff!

Mike. Ignore the previous comment from Brock concerning the lack of steam stuff !! Looks like you're well on the way to an outstanding layout.
Mike Brock 21-Sep-2005 14:55
Mike,
Really nice work. I particularly liked the Brockway mainline, Brockway grade crossing, Brockway Mine Overall and Brockway Mine with bays views. I'm not sure why these stood out to me but they seemed to . It would be interesting to see your track plan. Hmmm...I don't see any steam engines or steam facilities.
