Someone was trying to make an Erie switcher I'd say. Certainly looks the part. Wanna sell it? [img]
Favorite ever? B&Os EL class 2-8-8-0s. Favorite that I have a model of in N scale? Probably my Kato Mike / C&O K3 bash.
I've removed the paint from the sides of the M26b. I left the data, as I will mask over this when I respray; as this was repainted all the time,...
We've added a pair of M26 boxcars to the freight car roster, along with a Tichy war emergency mill gondola kit which will be decorated for NYC. I...
Thanks guys. 1.4 x 4 mm. Should be able to get that from my local industry parts and supply place!
Thanks much! I have been a B&O fan since forever, and the fact I am planning the layout as a modular thing makes it easier to have more than one...
0-80! Thats it! Most tenders come with the holes drilled for the coupler boxes with two screws that go in the little ears. I just bit the bullet...
A model of a WM station that I scratched up, but never did quite complete... [img]
I think the worst, moneywise, is over. I have 8 boxcars now and 3 gondolas; I'd like perhaps 4 or 5 more gons of various types, maybe a couple of...
Thanks Akirasho. That little black and white floof was also a stray; one day, about 5 years ago, she walked in our back door, said "meow!" and has...
The locomotives have been all but completed; real coal in the tenders, headlight LEDs mounted with some white PVA. All that's needed now is a...
The screws in the tender are quite a bit smaller than the Kadee screws; half the diameter or so! I could drill and tap it for the larger ones I...
Hi all. Just a quickie; does anyone know what size the screws to mount couplers on Samhongsa / Westside tenders are? I need to mount a kadee on...
Well, the largest part of the problem is the 0-8-0s themselves. The Life-Like ones are wonderful but long out of production and now command quite...
Hi folks. I've not posted in a while, as i have been largely distracted by the bucolic tank locomotives and branchlines of Great Western country...
Those are simply gorgeous steamers and will look at home around all that classic Chevy chrome!
I figure I can operate the layout fine with my two locos and perhaps 20-25 freight cars, as well as 1 or 2 combines or RPOs. I do plan on...
Thanks so much for all the positive comments! We're at something of a deciding point regarding the project, actually. As virtually everything I...
The resin Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania wooden boxcars have been completed as well! I have used Tahoe Model Works' trucks this time, and will be...
And the paint job and DCC conversion are complete! It now runs like a fine Swiss watch, and is the best running loco I own; silent, smooth, creeps...
