    EMD F Unit Roof Question

    Good point. However actually I'm just wanting to fix things that really bother me. For example a Steam Generator on a passenger Train A unit or a Passenger Train B unit that does not have a Steam Generator. I really don't like the looks of the straight- across rear roof. I want to Add on the...

    EMD F Unit Roof Question

    Wow! I love this. It's so tiny I can't read it though. How do I find this in a bigger size? Or how can I enlarge this without it getting Blurry?

    EMD F Unit Roof Question

    I have HO scale F7 units from quite a few different manufacturers. Most of which I bought dirt cheap because they were unpopular Road Names. I am now in the process of stripping the shells in order to repaint them into my favorite Railroad paint schemes. I also want to modify and detail the...

    ATSF EMD E8m Kitbash from SP E9 (HO)

    I'd be totally satisfied with a result like this. Nice job. What manufacturer E6 donor shell? Where did you get the corrugated styrene? Which silver paint did you use? Brand & Part # for decal set used? I'm excited. I apologize for peppering you with questions. Great to see a nice finished...

    Incredible work. I have been entertaining the idea of Kit bashing an E5. Either using an E6 shell or doing a crazy complicated build using the cheap and abundant Athearn BB F7 shell. Can you get "corrugated sheet " decals. I have seen the rivet decals and they look great. Shadow lines like the...

    Rivarossi A and B sets

    Thanks Iron Horseman. I saw a video of an HO E6 Warbonnet pulling a string of silver heavyweights. Valley Flyer coaches? I thought it looked great but seems I remember a semi-streamlined locomotive similar to the Blue Goose maybe? Did Rivarossi (or other mfr) offer these as 85 footers? Are the...

    Athearn rubber band driven motors

    That's part of the cool factor. When I was 8 years old everybody I knew had a loop of track on a 4x8. Having a fast model train in the 3rd grade was like having a fast car in high school. The really cool guys had the turnouts and operating accessories. Saturday the Local Hobby Shop was packed...
