That would almost be impossible for me lol. The trains that run by my house are usually going around 45 MPH.
But, I do know where IAIS parks some gondolas. They are mostly black with rust patches on the sides.
Hi all,
Been awhile since I last posted but this winters project is getting all or most of my rolling stock painted or weathered.
I have searched for photo's of the under-carriage and have struck out thus far.
I'm basically interested in how the bottoms of the cars would look.

Hi all,
as mentioned in another thread. I'm rebuilding some broken cars I got from an antique shop several years ago.
Most where simple repairs such as trucks, new wheels and couplers.
I saved the worst for last.

If I bought the super Chief...
Thanks guys,

msrp $355 About $100 more than the zephyr set. I can upgrade now (or at a later time) to a UR90 $45.95.
I roughly figured $500 to switch over.

Hi all,
I'm currently running ops in DC. I would like to do remote operations so I can walk around the basement and be able to observe areas that will be in a second room.
My LHS suggested I switch over to DCC and get a zephyr from Digitrix.
As this is going to be a major purchase and...
