Good point. However actually I'm just wanting to fix things that really bother me. For example a Steam Generator on a passenger Train A unit or a Passenger Train B unit that does not have a Steam Generator. I really don't like the looks of the straight- across rear roof. I want to Add on the...

Never mind .I just found the attached files. Looks great 👍

Wow! I love this. It's so tiny I can't read it though. How do I find this in a bigger size? Or how can I enlarge this without it getting Blurry?

I have HO scale F7 units from quite a few different manufacturers. Most of which I bought dirt cheap because they were unpopular Road Names. I am now in the process of stripping the shells in order to repaint them into my favorite Railroad paint schemes. I also want to modify and detail the...

Thanks for the link. Terminuschaptertca. That's the one. Hoping "HOT" means a big turnout. I am hoping I can find a phone number to call before I drive 2 hours to attend another Flop. LOL. I miss the mega shows when fellow model railroaders had used stuff for sale. Maybe next year things will...

Hello all. I was wondering if anybody has more information about the Train Show in Cartersville Georgia tomorrow. Has it been Covid-cancelled? How many vendors and booths with used trains for sale. I went to a show in Atlanta on the 9th of this month at Scott Antique Mall. I bought a ticket and...

I'd be totally satisfied with a result like this. Nice job. What manufacturer E6 donor shell? Where did you get the corrugated styrene? Which silver paint did you use? Brand & Part # for decal set used? I'm excited. I apologize for peppering you with questions. Great to see a nice finished...

I'm a car guy also. My "Stingray". I've been doing auto body repair as a hobby since high school so Kit bashing model trains Is right up my alley. Let's see that Black Z28!😁

Incredible work. I have been entertaining the idea of Kit bashing an E5. Either using an E6 shell or doing a crazy complicated build using the cheap and abundant Athearn BB F7 shell. Can you get "corrugated sheet " decals. I have seen the rivet decals and they look great. Shadow lines like the...

Wow I love the look of that station. Nice job with the covered stairways and platforms

Oops wrong attachment. Tried to load a picture of the silver heavyweights

Thanks Iron Horseman. I saw a video of an HO E6 Warbonnet pulling a string of silver heavyweights. Valley Flyer coaches? I thought it looked great but seems I remember a semi-streamlined locomotive similar to the Blue Goose maybe? Did Rivarossi (or other mfr) offer these as 85 footers? Are the...

Hilarious. I just scrolled down and saw 5 ads for big bags of Rubber Bands like Office Supply🤣

That's part of the cool factor. When I was 8 years old everybody I knew had a loop of track on a 4x8. Having a fast model train in the 3rd grade was like having a fast car in high school. The really cool guys had the turnouts and operating accessories. Saturday the Local Hobby Shop was packed...

Got it. Thanks

Is it a 933-3171? If so did you assemble the kit yourself?

You can probably fix those old Athearns. Check out Youtube before you throw in the towel. A little cleaning and soldiering. Don't put any lube on unless you know what NOT to oil. I still have my old Blue Box Athearns I bought in the 1970s running. Some of them I bought used then. I think the...

Years ago I saw an N scale Boxed set that came with 4 green heavyweights and a single Red and silver War Bonnet F unit as power. Looked cool then but now that I know steam was generated by the B units. Even in my consists of fictitious color schemes I like to Imagine they are mechanically...

:rolleyes:Colin. I would love to read that 2001 Riverossi Catalog but the writing is microscopic and blurry when zoomed.
