Just wanted to let people know I stumbled across a company planning on making a resin shell for CN SD40-2W's. I have no affiliation with them and don't model CN but I know there are a lot of Canadian modelers on here so if you've got an interest, check them out-- www.CLMW.ca is doing them and...

(I gotta get a a camera with a decent macro feature-but this will do for now I guess) Here's some photos of D&H 164 (CP intermodal) entering Philadelphia from Montreal, behind 2 SD40-2's (one snoot), a former D&H GP38-2 in CP's new scheme, and an old SD40. Hopefully these will get better with time.

I'm gonna post up some photos of my diesel fleet (because I like looking at everyone elses!) My period is now, eastern Pennsylvania from Philadelphia to Binghamton NY, via Scranton: Here goes the first 2 or 3: The 1st is a Kato Sd40-2 I custom painted and decaled for CP rail dual flags, the 2nd...

Frustration is running high! If anyone can help with a couple of DCC issues I'd appreciate it: 1) I have a Kato Sd40-2 with DCC, it ran fine, no issues, came back next day, power up and the loco is doing nothing. No lights no power. Cleaned wheels, tried reprogramming, nothing. Contact strips...

I am considering building my own drawbars to assemble a 3 car set of my walthers 48' well cars. I have an old model railroader magazine which has templates for building the entire car from scratch in HO scale (with conversion % for N scale) but I wanted to check and see if: 1) anyone here has...

I need some help with the trackplan for one area of my layout: I have 2 (connected) modular sections each 43" long x 17" wide that run across a set of closet doors to a hinged section by the door. I had thought of putting a Yuengling brewery and small engine yard on one side and an Alcoa plant...

here are some pictures of a new section of backdrop I just put in on my layout. It was drawn and watercolored by a family member with some talent based on a photo I had of Philadelphia behind the "high line." Work has slowed, but progress continues!

Can anyone help me out and let me know how DCC compatible the life like proto 2000 GP60 is, and how DCC compatible the upcoming SD38 is said to be? I can't seem to find it anywhere but I could use these prototypes. Thanks.

Well, here is my first new Kato SD40-2 mid production undec that I custom painted in the CP dual flag scheme. Hope to finish the detailing this weekend.

heres more trys: the layout goes on a single track behind the bookshelf next to the yard in the photo, it comes out the other side, which has track laid but nothing else so far. The bridge in photo 4 is my bridge over the Schulykill river in Phenixville. Putting a tunnel in on the south side...
