    Who Keeps the Empty Boxes for Your Rolling Stock

    Keep the boxes. This is one thing that not a lot of people like talking about but when it comes time to make the collection smaller the cars will hold a much better value with their boxes. It will make it easier for the family to deal with as well if something is to happen to us. Just put them...

    Got my hands on some CRIP Geeps

    I mostly model BNSF but I had to get these units because I couldn't pass the deal. Always had a soft spot for the CRIP. The weathered one is a P2K unit that was already weathered. And the fresh one is an Athearn Genesis unit with Tsunami Sound. Got a great deal on them and I'm looking...

    Windows 10 not for me.

    Everyone has an opinion and I respect that, but you can hardly say that Xbox has failed. Yes PS4 has outsold Xbox One by nearly twice as many units, but it still has more units shipped than the Wii U. Also for people like me who have an Xbox One the ability to be able to stream games to my PC...

    Mbta gp40mc!

    Well I can for sure tell that it is not the same as in the photo of the prototypical model. There is a hump that comes down on top of the cab. Regardless the model looks good and is pretty close.

    Adding to the Collection

    @Greg I completely agree. He happened to be only 2 miles from where my hotel was. I stopped in two seperate times and bought some stuff. Chuck is extremely nice and just likes to talk about trains! I'll post a few pictures of his shop. @Rico that's what I'm saying! I've never paid $70 for a...

    Adding to the Collection

    No he does not. He retired from Illinois Central and built a house modeled after an old IC depot. His layout is in the basement, hobby store is on the main floor, and him and his wife live upstairs. He's retired and runs the shop by himself and doesn't see the need for a website. He had a...

    Adding to the Collection

    Well, I was down in Marion IL for a week for work and came across this hobby store called Chuck's Depot. My god does he have stuff you just can't find on the shelves of a hobby shop anymore. TONS of IC rolling stock and engines, not to mention lots of older Athearn Genesis (Yellow Box handrails...

Finally easing into this 20D and learning how the fstop affects the image quality. Here they are. My friend picked up an Alton & Southern transfer caboose the...
