    Scenery Oddities?

    Nuthin spectacular here, or really out of the ordinary but, while waiting for paint to dry I took one of the "road workers" that is using a jackhammer and cut the jackhammer off to simulate a guy standing there with his thumbs hooked in his pockets looking at a motorcycle. He's wearing a "wife...

    Questions about "errors" on the KATO RS-2

    Again, being new to the model railroading hobby does anybody know what is considered "wrong" as far as correct and incorrect detailing on the HO KATO RS-2's? I have two - one UP and the other CP. I bought them new after hearing nothing but praise about their quality. After doing a "search"...

    Alco Rs-2

    Using an RS-2 on a modular, would it be appropriate to have the long hood forward and, only a few cars behind it? Or even say four or five. Or would one car be the typical situation? Thanks

    Woodland Scenics

    New to the hobby and would like some opinions from you experienced guys on this product. I'm not looking to do a layout right now rather, I'm more interested in doing a modular, perhaps several. HO of course. Thank you.
