thats fast for atlas to tackle such a new logo!

Welp, finally got the motivation to paint something again. Even though i have boxes of projects waiting to be painted I had a new project take cuts in line. here is my almost finished CN C40-8 in the CN 15th anniversary scheme. All in all, same ol' paint but nice new logo. http://farm5.static.flickr...

very interesting indeed. I will say though, its nice that they are using the line....could this be a measure to keep the rail from rusting? I made a drive up there yesterday night and made a few observations. 1. The CN yard in orion has a for sale sign near the gate, not sure how long its been there...

Today at 3:30 train crossed the grade at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets heading north. I was at the mall but heard it pass, due to the size of the hill couldn't see if it was traveling light or with cars. I know this forum has said there are no cars being stored at the yard and the tracks have been ri...

where is that yard?

Bummer!

It is Union Pacific #3985

I am trying to "sort" mentally and physically through my storage room and know i have some items i will probably never use, but yet the hoarder in me doesn't quite want to get rid of it. Before i go to Ebay I just want to see if anybody here models steam era and is looking for reefer cars. I have an...

haha, i figured there would be no production run. When it comes down to it, how costly is such a project to undertake, not including your time? I'd have no idea even where to get trucks and wheels or any part you've used really to make a large scale model. I wish i were more handy. If you want to bu...

Does this irritate any other modeler of the local area? OFCOURSE, they had to buy loco's whose shell is only available though Kaslo shops and a pain to build... WHYYYYYYY!??? I do like it though.

when are you going to start mass producing these?

Hello everyone. I have been going to port austin since i was a kid and i'm fairly certain my family's cottage is on one of the old lines to Port Austin (now a dirt road) by the old shipping docks. I digress, I'm planning on modeling this area...i've looked everywhere (including the historical books ...

i read through that post. its nice to see people already working out the same problem...easier to learn from their mistakes! and their progress as well. Ironically, i have practically the same space, about 15x27. i'd really like to keep it a shelf...MAYBE one table peninsula...MAYBE. Thinking about ...

So, after drawing my layout idea for what must be 5 years now my wife and i are now on a 5-year plan to move from our current home. Does this mean rush to build only to tear down in 5 years or wait another 5 years to start building? I think i've found a happy medium. While spending time this week in...

Which covered hoppers are we talking about Todd, the single-bay airslides or the blue grain cars that were 'stationed' in Iowa and only made it to home rails once on accident (mis-routed)?? I have a set for each of these somewhere in my basement; is it possible to use a set as a template to make mo...

Chris What do you have for the CM Units U boats or others ? I have all the U-boat numbers and GP38's pre HESR... although, I do have the HESR "rail america" decals, but not enough to sell, was a one time set up somebody did for me. In the future i will have the bloody nose unit and B units, perhaps...

forgive me, i'm not familiar with this unit. i'll have to look it up. is this a CN aquisition with CNNA map on it?

Todd, do you have a good image of one of these hoppers? The only issue with custom short run decals is the up front cost i face in having them designed. Unfortunately 4 orders doesn't come close to just the fee for setting up the order let alone printing it. Since this is something that i do not mod...

sd70, i don't recall if you've ever purchased any decals from me in the past, but i'm sure those that have will tell you what lengths i go through to make sure they are as accurate as possible. my LSRC had 9 or 10 different road numbers, each unique. This HESR project is nothing in comparison. 201 h...

yes, those will be done...just not yet.
9712 is one of my favs...so yes, that will be done for sure.
