    Texas South East RR - Buildings & Structures

    Most of the buildings and structures on the TSE are Walthers Cornerstone kits. They are well designed, look good, and lend themselves to kit bashing and mingling. They don't take 6 months to build and are cost effective. In addition to the Walthers items, we'll probably see some scratch built...

    Too Many RR Names on One Layout?

    Invoking MRR Rule #1... Everything about the Texas South East RR and the layout is fictitious - there is a Texas South-Eastern Railroad Co. but this ain't it. That's sort of where the idea comes from but that's about all. The layout location is unnamed and all the industries have generic names...

    Texas South East Switching Layout Build

    Saturday... Unboxed the Sievers benchwork. Two 24"x 48" modules & legs with hardware and instructions. Good looking lumber all cut to size and drilled. In the past I've mounted the module panels on wall-mounted shelf brackets but I'm going with free standing benchwork this time. With 24" wide...

    Texas South East - Locomotives & Rolling Stock

    Rolling stock... Wrapped up a couple of Walthers Mainline 40' modified AAR boxcars. I'm not a fan of heavy "rust bucket" weathering. I'm more into the "used but not abused" look. My usual weathering method is a coat of clear gloss, highlight details with Tamiya Panel Accent wash. a shot of...
