    Are you careful who you tell about being a model railroader?

    This is a very interesting thread. From the perspective of a college student, I don't go around flaunting it, but pretty much anyone that is friends with the people in my "group" of friends knows we are all railfans/model railroaders. Throughout high school and even college, I have found certain...

    Post your fleet, roster, whatever you wanna call it

    First off, let me state I am a general Transtar fan. (includes B&LE, DM&IR, EJ&E, BS, URR, etc..) 862 wasn't even built as a true DM&IR unit anyway. It was originally B&LE 862, only to be sent to the DMIR in the early 90's and then to be sent BACK to the B&LE in 1999. (5 years before CN was...

    I'll second that! My favorite product from EMD. There is nothing quite like seeing and hearing 4 of these in notch 8 with an ore train.. Cheers, -Bob

    Post your fleet, roster, whatever you wanna call it

    You know that thing has been the biggest pain in my arse since I bought it! Since I am modeling the "modern" era and they don't use the roundhouse for anything these days it's only on the layout for reason: The thing is the most well known building that is at the B&LE shops to this day. (the...

    Post your fleet, roster, whatever you wanna call it

    Well, it just happens that a few days ago I took all my Bessemer & Lake Erie road power out to see if it would all fit in my proposed ready tracks plan. They all fit, now I just gotta tear all that crap track up and put good track in properly... SD38AC 866 SD38-2 878 and SD40T-3 909...

    Weekend Photo Fun 4/21-4/23

    Here are some photos of two Bessemer SD38-2s (Kato) and a SD18 (Atlas modified SD24) that a friend painted and detailed for me a few months ago running at another friend's B&LE layout during an operating session earlier today. - My 3 units (SD38-2s 877 and 878 with SD18 854) slamming...

    Help, my Engine Addiction is out of Control

    Is that a Bessemer SD9 I see in there? I myself am 16. Prolly about 25 or so locomotives that are on "higher end" of detail. (Not model power, standard life-like, etc.) Here are some crappy pics as I am in a "transformation" phase of the layout right now. I think it's pretty obvious what the...

    A few pics of my layout.

    This is NOT a tour, as the layout isnt done yet. Just a few pics I took that I thought I would share. Sorry for some of them being a little blurry. http://members.tripod.com/superbird_mm2/blemstshooclub/id3.html

    What are you modeling, and why?

    The layout is a joint effort between my dad and I. The railroad we model mostly is the Bessemer & Lake Erie railroad located in Western Pennsylvania, with operations in and around Greenville, PA. However he has a lot PRR and I have some CR stuff too. Why did I pick the B&LE? Very simple, I grew...
