I think it is a good idea to have it on today's era layouts. Even as Kitbash pointed out, things like what he has are interesting too. I think...
I think the main reason most Americans model U.S. roads is because of where you grew up, in some respects, has a lot to do with it. Someone that...
It may be possible that it is more near a resto project than others, but there was a project to restore the one in Dallas and a lot of money sent...
Kevin, Actually the Tuscan Red color you are referring to varied in different years and in different places on the N&W. After reviewing several of...
Very good thoughts. I agree, I believe that the P2K stuff isn't as highly produced like the Spectrum line. I'm sure they're banging out more...
Welcome to Trainboard Dru! Yes, Bachmann has gotten way better. They are filling a huge void for the steam era modeler in plastic. Affordable yet...
Great layout! The pic that is slightly out of focus is great! It gives it that on the move feel, which it is. Keep up the great work!
John, It really depends on the railroad and what their motive power was rated for. Locomotive adhesion plays a part too. On the N&W they ran...
Watash, Nope not a fun experience. I'm glad it wasn't worse. Great picture by the way. Where was it taken? Down Texas way?
Great post Watash. It makes you think a lot. Like someone else posted about others in various professions. I've been a trucker for the past seven...
You got it Kevin. That's the entirely new Spectrum one. The other is just an updated version of the one they built before. It really looks good....
Oh, sorry for the extra post. That Ebay seller MartyHO is very good though. I bought my Life-Like Y3 off him. Very good seller, easy to deal with,...
Kevin, Trust me on this one ole buddy. The one that was linked to E bay is not the new one. It may be a re-run of that paticular model, but it is...
Opps! Sorry Aj, wrong name in my typing.
Get rid of those Geeps and we're talking Eric. Just kidding. I'm fond of those Red birds though. Can't wait to see 1218 runnin' side by side to...
That one E Bay is not the prototype of the one the N&W used in the steam era. It is a replica of the excursion one used in the 80s and 90s....
Hey that price is pretty good in my opinion. That's $1000 less than a brass 'A'. Can't wait to see it. I hope it's on par with the Riv. Alley of...
Hot dog Eric! Thanks for the tip on Broadway Limited's release of the 'A'. Finally a plastic 'A' class, something under $500 I hope. I keep seeing...
John, Got to www.nwhs.org (it's the N&W historical society's website0 click on models. You'll find a resin kit of the aux. canteen, not made by...
Actually the new Bachmann water canteens are modeled after the N&W canteens after the ones they used in the 50s. The one Bachmann previously made...
