Since Russ is on a secret mission in Europe destroying fine alcohol, I am starting the thread today...here we have a tank train passing the freight station on the Pacific Electric's Playa Desnuda in 1954
I have completed some cars showing the progression of the paint schemes and one special paint scheme! Intermountain 1937 AAR Mod Boxcar kit, which is equivalent to the Burlington's XM-32 Class Boxcars, substituted Yarmouth Models Sill Steps for the kit supplied plastic steps. Painted the car with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Microscale Decals. This car was delivered in 1953 and painted in the standard scheme of that time. Everywhere West was on one side of the car and Way of the Zephyrs was on the other side. The same kit, but painted with Scalecoat II Chinese Red and lettered with Microscale Decals. These cars were painted in this scheme from 1958 to mid 1968. Car was originally built in 1945. Same flip flop on the slogans also. This car was numbered in the group for the Q's subsidiary Fort Worth and Denver. Same kit again, but this time painted with Floquil Gold Paint and lettered with Microscale Decals. Car built in 1950 and this special paint scheme was applied in December of 1966, one of eight cars rebuilt by the Q's Havelock Shops in one day and all were painted gold. This commemorates winning the Railway Progress Institute's Golden Freight Car award for 1966. The award was for the most effective promotion of railroad freight traffic in America. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
Never heard of "T" scale. The only way I could work on something that small would be with a surgical robot, like the da Vinci...
I pretty much have to hold my breath while working on it. Once I exhaled and blew the handrails off. They're made out of human hairs. Na, just kidding, they're etched brass. But they're about as thin as hair!
I've seen a T scale demo layout - a little bigger than a square-foot floor tile, and to my eyes the RDC was a fat silver toothpick buzzing about... Sneeze and it derails!
I really like the way the finish on the fire escape appears in that pic - looks very much like old weathered metal
I will probably go create a new thread on my 3300 build, but all I have done is moved the steam chest back, since the model had a 4 wheel leading truck, and I need a 2 wheel. As a result, I had to cut and splice all the rods. My soldering iron is not cooperating right now, so I don't have much to show. I do have an SR-71 cockpit though
Candy, I work in "Just an enginehouse" Not that interesting to me but I'll bet it's pretty special to some. I love factorys !
Oh, but you see, T Gauge wheels are magnetic, and the track is steel. They'll run upside down! You'd need a pretty powerful sneeze to derail tiny T Gauge.
Not a T-scale steam-powered roller coaster (I love the idea), but small and surprising: IMGP13096A_Guitar_Case_Layout by Mike VE2TRV posted Aug 19, 2017 at 7:17 PM A Z scale layout to go - in a guitar case! Exporail, August 19th 2017 (fresh off the SD card and still warm!).
