    Weathering Rolling Stock, a Continous thread

    It's all gone a bit "Indiana Hi-rail", although I love Alcos I could never get excited about about the various RS six axle models.

    Weathering Rolling Stock, a Continous thread

    Hello from the UK

I've been around railways both professionally and model for over four decades now and I'm actively involved in my local club, the second oldest in the UK. Favourite railroad, well anything Alco with a bit of CSX/NS/CR for class...
