I couldn't agree more! There are a bunch of talented modelers in the DFW area and in the greater ARK-LA-TEX-OMA region. I know there were several...
I didn't bother adding the Tangent ready trucks to Shapeways since the plastic is so brittle compared to resin MP Scale Models is using. The...

Once those Fruehauf flatbed trailers were designed it wasn't much of a leap to add a body to the flatbed frame. The result is a ragtop trailer,...
Thanks, Tom. I need to put some "glass" in those cabs. I've been meaning to get a Cricut machine so I can cut the glass perfectly every time, but...

I think a lot of us have felt unappreciated for a long time. Yes, there are some knuckleheads out there who have found loopholes and game the...
The issue with the coming availability policy is its failure to allow time off for employees in unassigned service. Employees who work in...

We had one of these at Saginaw Yard for about a year or so. One of our yardmasters who was near retirement at the time and in the know said they...
