Still plays with trains
I feel a little intimidated posting where the masters post. Hit a small train show yesterday and picked up a few goodies (spent nearly every dollar I had saved for it 
). The SD 40-2 is by GSB Rail Limited, didnt see many good comments about the brand anywhere on the web, but it runs good. And the Tyco MoW craine I've been wanting for some time. The silver car is a helium cylinder car, I thought is was a unique find.

DT&J, the approach you are taking, being thrifty, is a wise one. Sometimes a body can spend big bucks only to find he has made a serious mistake about something. Maybe eBay is your friend, but you are not likely to recoup your entire outlay. So, go slow, go cheap, learn, play, and when you are ready you can begin to acquire the more costly and finer items with the latest technology. You have an operating diesel that looks very good and runs well. What else is there?

DT&J, when done cleaning your ears with those Q tips, don't throw them on the layout. Yuk.

I managed to get another car done this week- this time it is an Athearn airslide lettered for the Milwaukee Road. The car was stripped (started as a WP car) and painted aluminum, the decaled with home-made MILW decals (from Adobe Illustrator), ACI and Lube plates from Microscale, Kadee couplers, airhoses and uncoupling levers- the car was weathered with washes to represent the car as it appeared in the mid-70s.

Awesome job on the car. After you print your own decals, did you spray the decal sheet with something to hold the ink?

And lastly some shots of the Galveston Model Railroad Club new engine terminal that I am building in HO scale for them Three more work weeks spent at the club should see the terminal complete. This is where the 19 stall roundhouse was placed that was built in August.

Ted,
After I print out the decals on an HP printer with waterproof inks, I sealed them with the Testor's Decal Sealant. Thanks for the compliment on the car!
