I can confirm they 20' containers are loaded different directions. Customers occasionally will request containers to be loaded door-to-door fir...
I have been reading up about the quality of Micro-Trains release, and am left with a few questions. First, it seems that some vendors have...
Hmm, thanks for the idea. While I'm not an expert on lightweight coaches, Con-Cor is as close as I've found to AT&SF's coaches used on the San...
On several on-line retailers' pages; woo woo woo ¤¤¤¤¤ for one. Their own website barely seems to include any info on their products.
I am noticing that Con-Cor has a new wave of N scale coaches coming out in a nice variety of paint schemes - as usual for them. However, the...
I printed my own Ferromex decals. With the exception of the white font and logo on the cab, it's pretty easy to do.
Okay, here's the prototype; Puente El Chiquihuite. I guess that I should note that this portion of Linea S has been bypassed and the rails...
Here's a view of the prototype bridge, known as Puente El Chiquihuite compared with a northbound TFM manifest. Hmm, not sure why the fist photo...
Here's a few shots of Ferromex and FNM power on a unit cement train. The flat area against the stone retaining wall was the future location of...

Personally, I'd like to see a few Kyle geep's pulling freight through Jacumba, maybe with an occasional SP GP9.
Brake fluid has worked fine for me on Kato shells. It does soften the plastic for a bit, but I just use care while brushing off the paint. I've...
I guess I'll have to get out the brake fluid. I've always wanted some NdeM U30C's. Unfortunately, all of these releases feature bright colors -...
Looks like a cool layout in the making. I personally like the idea of the Metro. Adds a bit of modern suburban interest.
So this may seem like a dumb question, but I want to start laying a bit of track without having my power source yet. I am a little confused about...
Yeah, I a bit disapointed by this release. I'm trying to put together a 1990's San Diegan. I'll have to buy two train sets and sell the...
I am just wondering if anyone has an opinion on the detail and quality of Bluford Shops 70 ton hoppers. Are the pretty comparable to Atlas hoppers...
So who's going to be the first to weather their AC-12? Please post some pictures when you do!
