Someone on the diesel detailer forum took a picture I took of my unit and compared it to a picture of a Conrail C636. Looks like the deck, roof,...
I made a modification to the bottom of the frame of my C636: A piece of .06 x .125 filler for the gap in the undersized channel for the frame:...
Comapring points on the locomotive to the truck, it looks about right. Maybe a little high. The chain hanger and the steps look to be in the right...
UpdateHere is a picture of my Bowser C636 coupled to a Bowser C628: [IMG] The C636 sits a good bit higher. But according to some stuff I am...
56mm tall at the beacon... A piece of .125 x .06 (or maybe point .05) styrene on the frame would seem to close the gap nicely. I'll get a pic of...

Thanks guys. Jim (fitz), Thanks for your service, bet shalimar was a totally different town back then. My father was stationed at Eglin from...
Well I was "virtual railfanning" and came across this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygab6YnYrOI about 56 seconds in, there is a Bn thrall gon...
Ike, Thanks for the input, but there aren't very many pictures of the Thrall-built cars there. Most of the pics are either FMC (exactrail) or PS...
I've recently began hording MDC thrall gons in BN. I knew I should do something to mark the rotarty end since MDC never had anything to mark it on...
I installed anticlimbers to my pair of BLI C30-7s. I notched the rear of the anticlimbers to go around the handrails. The only issue is the green...
