Thanks. These trains were such a actual pleasure.
Reading the headlines, it almost feels like the airlines are experiencing deja vú the railroads felt in the '60's.

Bought a COLA.
Been running laps.

I've set the P.O. on back burner status for the time being. Was working on my Grand Central Station and shed, but life kind of got in the way recently, but the shed is the next big structure to get...

I'll probably just prime them for now, as they will be out of reach background buildings. Typically, I'll sit and contemplate them in situ for a while before figuring which way to proceed.

Aside from the normal paints, adhesives & such, got a deal on 3 whole sheets of Art Matte at Hobby Lobby in Concrete grey, and then received these yesterday. Yes, they are an eBay buy, and they...

Assembled a couple of Downtown Deco Hydrocal plaster buildings.

Got to LOVE those 1100's!

I've been receiving all sorts of coupler conversions (MTL), and also the drill & tap set to retrofit body mounted couplers in some cases, and installing as I catch 'em. More of them are on the way...

A few things have arrived. 2 packs of wheelsets, some rapido replacement upgrades, 2 sets of trucks & couplers, and finally got some ballast, all in shot 1.
Also bought some microset, a bottle of...

Actually, no, I'm not using them on the passenger cars. I'd already bent a pair up out of my way until I found a way to address the coupler itself. Managed to post-mortem a pair of the WoT Harrimans....

A new issue I've run into in the past few days involves the methods Wheels of Time or Fox Valley used to mount their MT couplers/draft gear on the Harrimans and the '35 Milw Hiawatha passenger cars....

I mostly kept track of what I bought this month, so here a composite of the arrivals (minus a building or two).
In no particular order, a bag of a hundred people from China, Vol 1 of the PS library,...

I don't have flexible tubing that small, but the shrink tube I have in several tiny diameters. I figured the tubes would allow a bit of wiggle room for klutzy skill moments. I want to double check...

Just found this same problem with a 2003 C630. It's never been run before, just now took it out and put it on track to break in. High motor rev, low drive speed. One worm spinning in sync with motor,...

I recently finished (I use 'finished' with TFIC) a CMR Fyfe Bldg. Aside from disappointing myself with two painting 'oops', I wasn't fond to find that one side of the building is virtually without...

Update.
Signs are so cool.

Default animation is in four steps. This is just temporary. A new Union Station will be...

Years ago, though I tested thoroughly, I had an Atlas #10Left turnout throw the pivot of the point rail. Made the hidden, lowest level storage tracks unusable. So, I managed to finally get to...

Sorry to reopen this thread, but I too have recently begun examining and addressing issues with motive power and rolling stock. I also have the '18 E-6 set, and have concluded that the sound chip...

I've been assembling and painting buildings at a furious pace, but nothing is "set in stone" yet except the location of the La Salle station. I've decided to add another touch of the fifties downtown...

Still working on the Post Office, but I wanted (needed) to fill in some blanks, and this project was on the short wish list to get started. I've taken some pics as I went along, so it may perhaps...

A quick update to the post office build. I have fashioned a base that it will sit on (hard Masonite), and cut a few bits away not wanted. Next I've mounted several 1/4" dowels trimmed to match a 2...

I am so glad that we have had those many years of accurate and on point reviews from you. I know that more than once, they have influenced a purchase decision. And sometimes, not...LOL!

I will begin with my most sincere and humble apologies for first not staying up and in touch with my thread, and second for sort of falling off the face of the earth for months. Nothing to do with...

Not a great amount of progress made. Still have all my digits intact, but I do manage myself when I'm feeling not 100% steady and simply study the pictures instead of grappling with a razor. Also...
