The second C415 shell was printed and detailed to match the first one. Except handrails. KV models doesn't have them any more. Smokey valley is long gone. I figure I will have to make my own. Would modifying Atlas Century railings give me good matches? Or where could I get stanchions that will...

The recent post on the 44t issues reminded me I have an early version from at least 30 years ago. Two motor design. Originally they were three pole, but up graded to 5 pole. I did swap out those old three poles. Only problem I ever had was the too much lube issue from anything made in china. Had...

Because of the temps in the building even tho it is heated. I don’t print between November and march. I am looking into a resin heater to change that. This is a billboard. Modern era. Just need a pole. Either styrene or an acrylic rod. And paint. And bill boards to put on it Shane

How often do the wire contact pans on pantographs have to be changed out from the wear? Shane

I think I forgot to roll the bell over. And the sweet, and the canary, and the rest of the scenery. At least the one arm turnout (I forgot what they are called) works. And forgot to make sure it was actually on the tracks

Anybody try out micromarks paint line yet? Looks like a cross between Mig Ammo paint, and Vallejo ink. Shane

Rush hour. The station is in the office building, technically on the second floor. Even tho the second floor is a t street level. The scene is obviously no where complete. Shane

the sw 1001 shoving a difco dump to a work site. Probably the same site this 25 ton crane is off too. Dragging along the short boom car and a work flat. The 1499 is the one light work horse of MOW, but here is two of the main heavy lifters of the MOW department. A U34CH and a U33C...

Sort of a train. Keep the trains rolling. The utility hi rail is a Bachman with an N scale decoder on board. The SRS is Walthers. Fun facts. they were used until recently Most of the SRS fleet was PRR doodle bugs. With. a hand full of other roads. They were updated (for the time) and a...

You're more than welcome to ask questions. None of these scenes are anywhere near finished. The odd stone structure is an interesting industry in history. Shane

Ok. I seek an electrical diagram of BLI centipedes. One of the pair is acting like it is a 0-4-0 with one axle powercontacts. It also has a tracking issue that might be related if the contacts aren’t right or wire pulling or something like that. Before I open it up, I am hoping for...

Ok. I will bounce this off the collective seeing as I have never run into this. Maybe some of you have. P2k locomotives. I got two used for rather cheap. Non dcc is why I figured they were cheap. Skip ahead of the new cab, paint and doc sound. They were programmed and now on the main...

Doesn't look like much was done does it? But most of the progress was contemplating and strangulating numbers. My other signal bridge sit 29 feet from rail head to underside. This will be so for this one. To start, the heads needed to be painted so they are ready for LED work. In the pic...
