Default Re: Hi All,

Yeah, I viewed your other vids already, a bigger area is definitely a plus!

I have an area between the tree rows of roughly 80'x150' with a well water source very close, use a heavy wall plastic for the liner? Lots of room between other tree rows for river channels.. gonna build a garage next summer, the "project" will follow be behind that.

I agree, it would be a really big project using scale equipment to do it all. But, when I was digging my three ponds and river section by hand, I remarked several time how much fun it would be to do at least some of it with RC.

I know joe was doing for the fun and had no completion deadline but it always looks to me like he needs more operators. I will work for free on the pond project if you need another operator!

Side question, is 1:14 the "standard" for trucks and hoes and dozers? Why? Just trying to get myself up to speed on the hardware. I think my scale around the pond is going to settle in on HO or maybe just a tad bigger. One thing I want to add is a rail system. Ho would be easy to find, but it is smaller than I would have dreamed, but the lock chamber and tow and barges can't grow unless I tear it out and start over.

Jim
