What about the grain elevator recently built near Standish at the US-23 crossing?

I was coming home from up north today, and heard a train horn as I was approaching the Kochville Rd. crossing near Zilwaukee, and I couldn't believe what I saw! Great Lakes Central 393 pulling a string of covered hoppers and tank cars! On Huron & Eastern/Central Michigan trackage!!! I saw Carl worki...

I saw it yesterday in the yard, very impressive! (Sorry, no camera with me).

I know what you mean about not remembering everything you have in your collections; in an O/T hobby of mine (scale model cars) I had in excess of 2000 unbuilt kits at one point, with no idea of what I exactly had. It took a bit, but I've pared it down to close to 500 kits now, but it's still hard to...

Are there any railroad document collectors on here? By that, I mean train schedules, rule books, pamphlets, actual rr worksheets, etc.? I came across a bunch of different Penn Central, Michigan Central, New York Central stuff, in anyone is interested. Click on the link to see the list. Thanks. Al ht...

OK, the RAIL KING Alco PA AA Diesel Set has been sold, but I still have the 5-car Pennsylvania Railroad Broadway Limited passenger cars if you're interested. Thanks.

Thanks for all the interest, guys. The GP-7 has sold, but the Alco's and the Broadway Limited passenger cars are still available.

I have several O scale model railroad items for sale; these are new in the box, never run, I only removed them to take photos. First is a Williams GP7-103 #5902 Chesapeake and Ohio/Chessie System locomotive. It has powered maintenance free can motor with precision flywheel, True-Blast II digital bel...

I agree! Been receiving this for several months, great articles, although very ad-laden, but sometimes the ads contain special offers for readers, like the recent free fiber optics kit.

Thank you , all!

I lost all of my model RRing bookmarks, so if you can post your favorites, I'll be able to recover them. Sites on layout construction, weathering, just about anything would be great. TIA.

Make me an offer, I'm open to trades for HO or N scale (I would really like to get started in N scale, have nothing yet). I'll deal on anything!

BTW, if it helps, I can accept PayPal.

Hi, guys-- I'm cleaning out the house, need to make some room, so I have some VHS tapes (and one DVD) to let go. (Zack, if this is the wrong forum, I apologize, I wasn't sure where to post this) Here's the list: THE IRON ROAD- Story of the First Transcontinental Railroad $7.50, shipping $5.00 http:/...

If you're looking for VHS railroad tapes, I have a bunch listed on Ebay right now.

I don't know if he posts here, but from his 'handle', I'd guess he works for the Saginaw Township Fire Dept. and his last name might be Beeker (stfdbeeker). Just a guess. Nice layout, tho!

Al

Nice job, I like it!

i think the reason it taste different is one word GLASS. Pop tasted a lot better when it was in glass bottles. Actually, glass is not the only reason for the different taste- years ago, the only sweetener used was plain old sugar, nowadays they used fructose. Big difference in flavor!! I get Coke f...

I went today, first time I've ever been to their show (I go to the same building for the model car show in Nov & April), was amazed and awed at the selection and the number & quality of the layouts on display.
