Original image

Buried Alive psp I found this shot on the above site and thought I would use it here. This picture has been printed several times over the years, including the cover of the book about John Allens layout, and it always seemed to need a bit of tweaking. Thanks to Photoshop, I was able to coax some color balance out of it.

The Producers movie Elegy ipod

Today is John’s last day working with us here at Fast Tracks. There are lots of changes happening here with us moving to Burford this summer. Not wanting to commute, John decided to accept a job offer he had from a friend.

John has worked with us for almost 2 years, and turned out to be a great guy to have around, we are going to miss him, especially on Friday’s when he brings coffee! Any Fast Tracks fixtures made in the last 2 years were produced by John, as well as all the shipping, packaging, tie cutting and plenty other jobs that I’m sure I am unaware of. We kept him busy.

Not wanting to send him off empty handed, we presented him with an addition to his latest modeling adventure in On30. I found this model (albeit in rough shape) in Ohio last month when we attended the Midwest Narrow gauge convention. I felt it would suit his layout so I bought it and spent the last few days re-working it. A new motor was added, plus a decoder, the detailing was also re-worked and the painting enhanced. It was finished off with a light weathering job.

Scent of a Woman release

This is a shot of the other half of the Port Kelsey Ry. The layout goes through the wall and into my shop where the 34th St. yard is located. This section of the layout was built in our last house and moved here. Fortunately it fit in the space I have available here and was able to salvage the 2 years of work I put into the trackwork.
