They weren't buried that deep, I found one while looking for something else which remains lost.

So you are not up and running on a layout yet?
 


Here's a few of mine. I will only post the one's I haven't seen yet. I have about 20 car loads on my layout & adding about 8 more next 2 weeks of Bulkhead flats w/pipe loads.

No, I haven't had one since before I got married 5 years ago. I have two Freemo modules with almost 8 feet of running. I also set up a small Inglenook switching layout on the kitchen counter which my wife very kindly lets stay.

Thanks Kevin, the cradle under where the wings attach is more or less finished, depending if I want to figure out how to add the 20 missing gussets. As it is, it is almost 160 pieces. Anyone into Rapid Prototyping?

We (family machine shop), along with another business friend, looked into those machines a little while back. Amazing technology! Amazing prices though too :eek:. There's a company not far from here (about two hours) that does the 3D printing version, and we've had several things done in SLA (stereo lithography) as well. I'm working on designing some HO cars (;)) that I will probably have done up like that before I take the plunge into plastic injection tooling...
 


Since I took the plunge over on Slugs and Bugs I figured I would put my two cents in here. This is a flatcar based on info I got from Tom Daspit's site http://www.garlic.com/~tomd/. If you are into BIG flats and Schnabel cars this is the place. I based this loosely on a GE car, I don't recall the number. The A & B ends are cut down Athearn Heavy Duty Flats. The rest is sheet plastic. This was about a three evening project as I had partially dismantled my layout at that time. The load is a 1/24th scale transformer with a Lionel can glued to the bottom. It runs very well but you can't have much along the right away as it tends to act like a lawn mower......Rich
