Oh about lighting since the building was active 24/7 a couple of undercabinet fluorescent fixtures mounted to the roof should do the trick. Blocking out random windows with black construction paper...

Good luck. Building any realistic part of Chicago’s Downtown is a real task.

Is that a former Rock Island unit?

Someday is an evil word. For decades my Grandfather collected HO equipment, storing it in the attic. Someday when he made space in the basement, he’d build that perfect layout. When he passed away,...

You can add Kato 11-702 (black) or 11-703 (gray) knuckle couplers to that steeple-cab to allow it to pull cars and not just push them. These come ten to a package and cost as much as a pair of...

Any source possible. Many of us have sooooooooooo many kits that we will never build.

But first let’s see how many items can come close. I’d like to find out much doesn’t exist. Because this...

That Fleischman based loco certainly looks the part of the Cannonball. It’s a shame it is very rare.

Thanks Noah, I did originally consider using the Bachmann American as a starting point and still may. But that tender is way too large because of the motor. A scale sized tender is still too small...

A little more description on all of these posts would be useful. Not everyone one has unlimited access. Data can be very expensive.
