    C420 MRC/Lima noise

    Steve, I picked up one on vacation and was dismayed to find the same problem. I contacted North West Shortline Customer Service and they advised me to purchase #2554-6 Lima 10T 40"/110 Geared Wheelset - Premium Nickel Silver. The package arrived today, I installed the wheel and gear sets per...

    My lovely wife took me shopping at the hobby shop two weeks ago for my 55th birthday. After browsing for awhile I stumbled on this Atlas RS-11 for $40.00 on the consignment rack. A bit of paint and some decals and I have added another Alco to the fleet!

    N&W Abingdon Branch

    Wow, very nicely done. If I wouldn't be doing the D&H the N&W was my second choice. The scenery is great. Please keep the updates coming!

    A couple of Uboats drift by Mike Tower and the 7408 is pulling yard duty. Man, I am loving the D&H!

    Its a good day when the Alco's outnumber the EMD's in the yard. Hopefully I will have the C424's done by this weekend so I can boot the interlopers out.:D

    N&W blue

    Tman, I use Rustoleum Gloss Night tide #248631. It is fairly close and once I start weathering I think it will be spot on. Rich

    Weeekly Photo Fun 3/2 - 3/8

    Karl, that is one fine looking Uboat. I am still looking for Sharks and PA....kinda half of the fun. I got some time this morning and got another U33c and a pair of GP38's out of the paint shop. I think I have the taping up of the units down pat. It is just the decal yellow stripes that are...

    Weeekly Photo Fun 3/2 - 3/8

    Since I have changed my railroad to a D&H theme, I have been spending a great deal more time downstairs. The latest additions are an Athern BB U30c D&H 710 and an Athearn BB N&W U30b high hood. I remotored the U30c and it is compatable with my Atlas GP 39-2. The U30b was built by a friend and I...

    train horns on fire truck and vehicles

    We mounted a four chime set under the front bumper of our quint.....pointing straight down. We have found the deep bass tone will penetrate the nearly sealed enviroment of new vehicles. We use them mostly at intersectons in short burts....have proven to work very well in conjunction with the...

    Added more foliage and debris to critterland. I figure I will move on to the engine house, yard and ultimately the steel mill and then come back and add more details.

    Weekly Photo Fun 1/4 - 6/4

    I have been ballasting the yard into the mini mill and back to the engine house. There was a pizza shaped area where the creek behind the engine house just kinda set there with no idea what it would become. Low and behold critterland was born. I must have a dozen little switchers, most of whom...

    kz9's HO Scale Empire.....

    KZ that is a HERD of big power...Love the dirty CP unit. Saw a similar unit in Enola last year. It seemed odd because even with the paint faded CP units are usually pretty clean when they are down in our neck of the woods. Keep the photos coming. Rich
