    Building a BNSF business car fleet.

    not sure, when did the issue come out? couldve been a special, or, couldve been mistaken for a few cars they have that are ex commuter cars, bought and rehabbed by transisco tours, and bought by BN then rebuilt again by BNSF!

    caterpillar load for an intermountain flat car

    thanks for the pics! Funnelfan, I see the locations, did you place the load first, then mount the chains? looks like 4 on the rear, 2 sides and 1 across the front? Also, you placed them in the middle and side channels? Thanks

    Athern HO scale kits

    Ive usually used the provided screw, predrilled the holes with it, the placed the truck on the body and screwed it on. The screw goes in alot easier, and goes all the way in with little resistance. Of course youll need to adjust the screw so the truck turns side to side w/o issue, this should...
