Was wondering if anyone is modeling the Greenville & Northern? With the railroad gone now for some time there is a lack of overhead shots that could be used to design a short layout and I have all of the magazine articles about the railroad though none show details about sidings and how the...

I am thinking about purchasing a GE 70 Tonner to paint up as Greenville and Northern but being out of HO for 4 years so lacking on knowledge of HO scale version of this engine. I see the Bachmanns have issues with the plastics gears and such but many of the postings I have found are several...

Cool, nice to know there is someone else in the neighborhood. We will have to get together sometime. Michael

Robert, I myself am a convert to O scale 2 rail. I switched over in April from HO scale/Proto:87. In the beginning I really wanted to go Proto48 but the idea of making my own turnouts or even handlaying track was a little daunting. I had not even got that far in Proto:87 although I had...

Hello all, A friend of mine at work has a boss who apparently is a big Oakland Raider's fan. Enough of one to own a Bachmann Oakland Raiders train. My friend asked me to fix the engine as a part was broken on the back. So I looked at the F unit and the clip that holds the coupler on is...

Hello all, I am looking to build a 2 ft by 12 ft shelf layout. I am looking something that is prototypical with some operations. I have searched via google as well as other sites and it seems that I dont find much other than the what the Brits have come up with. Are there any websites...

small foam/brush/cotton tip thingies Tom, any particular brand name for those small foam/brush/cotton tip thingies you got? I tried the q-tips on four cars today and it was pretty hard to try to keep the q-tip on the lettering only. I did wear one all the way through the paint, oops...

Hello all, I would like to remove most of the lettering on my P2K NAHX high side covered hoppers. Any suggestions? I don't want to remove the paint as I want the cars to be grey. thanks Michael

My bad, I thought I had taken a pic of each side. Just posted a view that shows the brake lines.

Tangent Scale Models I sold a bunch of stuff on eBay over the last couple of weeks to collect up enough money to buy a 12 pack of Milwaukee Road 4740. Paid for them on Saturday the 25th and the cars showed up in my mail on the 30th. They are extremely nice. I have posted some pictures in the...
