I remember seeing the plans for this locomotive in an old RMC and thinking it was a neat prototype. It's fun to follow along on your progress,...
That FP7 is sharp, who made it? ...the next great question is: What do you think of it? I'd like to get a couple for modelling CP Rail commuter...
Geez, that is a really sharp quick improvement. It's funny to see the silver sharpie as it was only the other day that I was in the craft store...
I too really, really like ELO for paint removal. But I agree that it can be a challenge to get. I have tried with some great success the...
Guilty as charged, I've been known to switch to the Trainboard to check in half way through a design project. In front of the keyboard, sometimes...
If we are lucky enough to see more CP road power, I might be interested in a pair as well. Chris
Fine have it your way LADiver (and my way too!). They were, and are, Canadian cabs. I remember when they were always referred to as Canadian...
As Grant mentioned, all CN ordered SD40-2's were delivered with the (then) new safety cab installed. However, CN did roster a large fleet of...
I agree. I have a Bachmann american near the workbench right now and the promise of more on the way. I would like to think about adding a...

I looked elsewhere on the board and couldn't find a thread for this so I thought maybe I'd risk it and start a new one... I've seen a number of...
Talk about the beginnings of great threads. This has got to be one of my favourite models. When my dad first got interested in model railways it...
Good morning Chris. I've got a little carried away with this idea. First of all, I know this stuff is going to be small, but since seeing that...
Great looking couplers (hope I too have not been a victim of the prank ) What can you tell me about the couplers? Chris
Chris, I've been meaning to log in earlier and add my enthusiasm to see this project as it progresses. I remember first seeing that John...
Robert, I remember those great MT parts packs from my N days. Neat to know that I might be able to use something from them for Z. Chris
So I've started working on the floor. I think I am going to work up a decent master then cast the copies that I will actually use. As such, I've...
I'm going to make some of my own well cars. I am planning on something very similar to the NSC cars that CN used here in Canada....
Thanks for the dims John, I think I'll just be brave and go ahead and give it a try. Got lots of styrene and enthusiasm... Chris
The gondola??? How the heck did you guys slide this one by? I'd really like to see some pics of this model. Chris
