Well here is my first attempt at painting a loco (Atlas GP40 NDB), which I've decalled up for a "The Gauge Railway" locomotive. It's in a Soo line inspire scheme, but sadly I don't have a digital camera that can take anything closer than 5' so apologies for the low quality shots. Simon

Recently I bought some SP Daylight Passenger cars on Ebay. 3 of these were the horrible Model Power (ex Minitrix) undernourished varieties, but one (the obs car) was an Atlas-Rivarossi. Think the MP cars will have to be replaced, but I'd like to get a few cars to match the Atlas one. So my...

There's a fellow selling some Life-Like bodies on ebay uk, and I was wondering if there was any point in bidding for them. I'm surmising he has taken the chassis parts to repower UK outline diesels and so is selling the shells. Can replacement chassis be bought from Life-Like? If so it may be...

Hi all, this is my first post..so be gentle ;) I'm thinking about scratch building a SP slug in N gauge, and while I'm ok on my design for the top side I'm a little puzzled over what to use for trucks? Anyone know if I can purchase non powered switcher trucks, or alternatively if the M/T...
