    John's Loco Workbench - More Projects Begin...

    Coats of many colours.... (The front half and back half are not actually attached yet which is why it appears a little wonky...)

    John's Loco Workbench - More Projects Begin...

    My workbench is looking a bit like the results of a tornado through Harry's Truck & Electric right now... The job lot of loco parts I picked up a few weeks ago yielded two Proto 2000 GP30 shells and the long held ambition to build the SD30 has begun: The Rio Grande shell did not die in vain...

    John's Loco Workbench - More Projects Begin...

    I found a nice free online graphic for the Eagle: Still need to add car detail decals but all the ones I have are white so will have to wait. I have rescued another victim of bad paint jobs though: Atlas GP7 somewhere underneath the half dozen layers of caked on poster paint. It's a good...

    John's Loco Workbench - More Projects Begin...

    It's been a rolling stock weekend with a strong Gondola theme, after all, what's the point in restoring, rebuilding and repainting all these locos if they have nothing to haul... First up, three ebay acquisitions, purchased cheaply as seen, all with custom weathering jobs to a very good...

    Model Railroader subscribers?

    Overseas subscriptions issues basically. Here in the UK we started wondering where our Winter 2025 issue was (at the same time, MR and Trains subscribers were asking the same question) as the paper copies were on what few newsstands that stocked them but nothing on our door mats. Of course we...

    John's Loco Workbench - More Projects Begin...

    Time is something I don't have at the moment, progress on the Atlas SD40 has at least reached the paint stage though: So I am using what small snippets of time I can find on little projects, such as this boxcar: Some fifteen or twenty years ago I acquired cheaply a big job lot of HO near...
