Re: RCP Compound
My wife and I had a little RC fun last night. The ground is so loose thanks to our lack of rain that I had to water the road before we could haul gravel. It's a good thing I built a water truck!

Re: RCP Compound
I you stop by sometime make sure your truck is locked in both drive axles. The roads are steeper than they lock and it will be frustrating getting stuck all of the time....Trust me!
I decided to play a bit this morning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ3XEoRUdUw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=374cqxgdIBY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQDPGDORTZQ Even in the RC world you have to watch out for wildlife on the roads. If I waited for this guy to cross my shift at the compound would have been over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duyoQNnfDRw |

Re: RCP Compound
Well it's been a long time since I've done anything major to the play area but with fall in the air and moisture hitting the ground I thought it was time. I have been wanting to add a "lake" to the compound since the start so I got on with it tonight. I may get flamed for using my mini excavator but flame away! It's a toy to me so I don't feel like it's cheating. I will have plenty of work to do graveling the new road surface and once it rains regularly the pond will fill up. Who knows, I may see an A frame dump and boom boat in my future. This is a logging operation after all... I used some of the dirt to raise up the new road and also added a ramp up onto the existing road near the shop door.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoWZV6cbGOI The dirt under the tree roots was prefect! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDjQudCqLno |

Re: RCP Compound
Thanks guys. Now I just need some fellow truckers to come and haul on the roads.
Although I think your idea is a good one Mike, it is not going to happen. I can't afford another hobby within this hobby(trains)! My wife was smiling at me when she got home last night and saw what I had done. She said "people must think we are crazy. Everything we get into starts out small and then gets out of control".lol I just can't help myself..... |

Re: RCP Compound
Oops, looks like I've created a west coast monster...... Does this sound familiar? ...." Oh my friend, you have it bad....time to seek help. "
Site looks great Reg. I'd say use some of that backyard pond liner material and you'll always have a spot to fill the water truck from. And you'll get no more flame from me. I have a new explanation for times like these. " it's a means to an end " or. " I want to play in my park with RC's , not build it with them! ". |

Re: RCP Compound
Awww we got to give him a hard time Mario, reg is built the best in the west, so it's only his fault we have to pick it apart!!! It's his own fault!! Lol!! Reg ,, you know it's only cuz we all wish we were there. !! Or had that bueatiful landscape to manipulate into RC heaven!!!
So , now I recal you have a rather large pond on the property!?!?? Some logging from that skidded to the log transport to a dock to a ship to a cross pond location to a mill to make lumber for more bridges,,,,, I guess I could go on and on lol!!! This is the addiction of what we all belong to!!! Hey reg, go big or go home right?!?! Lol!! Looks good brother!! And Mario, you got the east coast knocking on his door!! Ya both have me trying to plan the ultimate road trip!!! Keep it up.

It would be great to have some company here so I hope you can make the trip someday! Quote:
Oh, I almost forgot. I hauled the first couple of loads on the new section of road yesterday. I think last evening was the nicest it's been all year. Warm but not too hot and not too many bugs. It was beautiful! Too bad no one was here to enjoy it with me... I had to hog it all to myself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR5xXPCA3fQ |

Re: RCP Compound
My wife and I have been hitting the local swap and shop this summer when we've had time. Today was the first time I've found anything to get excited about. We picked up the backhoe for $20 and the Tonka for $2. I also got a tarp for the pond.
Now I just need a bunch more Firgelli's and some rain!lol Last edited by RCP57; 09-13-2015 at 10:44 PM. |
