Chrome-plated metal. The real deal.

Glad to see someone is modeling the CSOR! I was beginning to think my repatched boxcar was an orphan: CSOR (ex P&W):

I haven't had the opportunity to post here much, but I recently completed a project that I'd like to share. I started with some of the new HO scale Trucks n' Stuff petroleum trailers and modified them into corn syrup trailers for an ADM corn syrup bulk transfer terminal. Although these are not...

The name "Indian Valley Railroad" may sound familiar to many of you who are in my age group (late 20s to early to mid 30s). Beginning in 1989, PBS aired a childrens television show called "Shining Time Station", which was on TV as reruns well into the late 1990s.

I superdetailed the cars with semi-scale Kadee shelf couplers...

I'm way ahead of them...
Of course, this wouldn't be such a big story if the commodity in question was legalized and taxed, just like cigarettes and alcohol. Legalization would only be a good thing for the United States: we would end major fronts in the "war" on drugs (save money and...

This thread can go to 500 pages just discussing the economics of globalization and its effects on the MSRP as a derivative of production costs overseas... however, let's not take it there. There is nothing that argument will resolve.
Bottom line is, we will just have to learn to make more with...

Josh, which decal manufacturer makes all of the little warning/safety labels for the Genset? I'm holding off on painting my NYCS versions until I custom print the decals myself, because the stickers are different from any standard EMD or GE set that you can get from Microscale, etc.

Athearn, most likely, in the "fantasy" line-up. I was thinking about doing the locomotives myself, but would rather avoid investing the time and money into creating custom decals and custom painting when I have a gut feeling Athearn is going to surprise us sometime soon. This goes for the...

Those of you who are following my modern-day New York Central System concept on the Facebook "group" should be advised that it has now been upgraded into a "page", which offers better features and communication.
If you are following the modern NYCS on Facebook, you will have to migrate over...
