    Its been awhile since much has been done on the C.M.B. However its that time of year when I will have more time in the evenings.
    A big thanks to Teditor!! I finally got around to getting some decals made up. Next up is some weathering.
    I will eventually get this scene done. Or maybe not? I like it. Just not quite set with it...

    You have been quiet for a while!

    Even if you don't eventually get that scene "done", there's always the fun part of imagineering and planning it.

    A new addition to the CMB RR. I guess this was my surprise from Montana! No complaints here! Badlandnp found this at the Helena show! Its the Great Northern Special Merchandise''LoaderCarr'' basic set. Circa 1995? Its not dcc but that can change. What a great gift!

    Yes Ken it is. Didn't even realize I didn't mention it until you asked. Its a pretty set, considering for when it was made.

    Those were plenty popular in their day. And still seem to be.

    Well I don't know how popular they are now. After looking at the bay it seems not many are interested in old con cor sets. Or maybe its the start prices.
    Anyway, I like it. The cars look good and the steamer is alright. Not the same as those produced now. But its a good way to show growth in the n scale market.

    Here is that S-2GN climbing that 2% grade coming into Balderdash. I really like this scene. And it don't look to bad on video..
    Enjoy.
