SNEAK PEEK at April RMC

[enjineerbill]

Here's a look at the upcoming April, 2010 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman. This is the American Freedom Train I built and painted for a friend in PA. I actually only constructed about a dozen of the cars, but I (RippTrak Models)refurbished the entire train with new paint & decals. If you go to the RMC dot com site, you can pull up the table of contents for the issue. Mr Finnin is the consumate American Freedom Train fan, having a long history with the prototype train and it's associates.

Thank you to all for the kind words.

I was lucky enough to have helped Mr Finnin put the it together and read the first drafts, it should be a nice article. This is the first time that my work has been in a Carstens publication. They are wonderful to work with. As a side note, Mr Finnin is such a fan that when they scraped some former Freedom Train cars near Las Vegas, he went out and gathered some pieces from the walkway belt and other trinkets, Now THAT'S a fan....

enjoy the article, the train was a blast to build....
