Asking for tips or advice on how to model these units. Looking to turn 4 of them into Conway Scenic Railroad coaches. Pictures included for reference. Thanks in advance.

Moving forward with Sunset Limited #2 I finished up 819, coach dorm 39908 and coach 34083 which was one of the coaches that tumbled off the Bayou Canot bridge. I may eventually add the exit windows on 39908 as well as purchase 3d printed ends to better represent the HEP era equipment...

It feels great to build my collection back up after a couple years of walking away from this hobby. One train I've always wanted to model (and have attempted to in the past) is the 1993 Sunset Limited that crashed into Bayou Canot, Alabama. My customs for this train are: P40 #819 F40 #262...

Looking for an Athearn Amtrak P40 in phase III (Faded stripe) Doesn't matter the road number, preferably not a blue box model.

Looking for Kato Amtrak F40PHs in HO scale, preferably without ditchlights. Not looking for a specific road number.

Thank you so much, I would truly appreciate that!

Trying to finish a consist. Looking for a Coach and a Diner specifically.

Walther’s cars are also hard to find and when they can be found, people often want $100+ per car especially for the plated version. I’m no fan of their old superliners either. Besides, I already have a Kato Sleeper car on the way, might as well stick to the brand.

Hey everyone, been a few years since I've been here as I've walked away from the hobby for a while, but have decided to jump back into it. I'd like to once again, build up a consist but unfortunately it seems next to impossible unless you model current era Amtrak. What I'm looking for are Kato...

Model numbers for plated Sleepers are: 920-11021 for non lighted 920-12021 for lighted 932-16172 Before they were rebranded into the Proto line Either works for me!

I’m hunting for Walthers Proto phase III Superliner sleepers. I know it’s a tall order, I just figured I’d reach out. I’m building up a consist and all that’s missing are the Sleepers. I’ll buy them for a fair price! Any info or leads on who may have em would be great. Model Numbers include...

So I've decided to quit modeling the MBTA's weird equipment and move onto a different commuter rail, Metro North or MTA. I've taken my Walthers F40 that WAS painted as MBTA 1016 and overhauled it into a Metro North F40PH-3cat #4912. What I've done here is stripped the paint, then chopped the...

No she isn’t O_o

Made great progress on 1127. She received her full paint job and most of her decals. Will need to order a decal sheet of letters to add the "MBTA" and "1127" to her sides as well as the American flag decals that are placed on the cabs. Handrails are on the way, those will have to be a custom...
