    Post "Current Shots" of Fallen Flag Freight HERE:

    An DW&P car,don't see those too often anymore.I used to live about 30 yards from the small yard they had in West Duluth.It had been closed a few years,but the roundhouse was still there and the other structures they used for maintenance were still there also.They had just closed it down a few...

    33 years ago....

    I certainly remember the night it happened,I was 9 years old and it was plastered all over the TV.Of course living in Duluth it was a huge story in these parts.I could only imagine the coverage it would have received today with the internet and cable/dish TV.

    I did not realize that,thanks for the info Wayne:thumb:.Regardless,I miss the old color scheme,the new generic schemes that have been given to the IC,DWP,WC and DM&IR by the CN really suck.

    My Internettrain nightmare

    You need to call the issuer of the card you used ASAP,if they're worth a darn they'll get your money back.I would not trust these guys and I don't understand why they're still in business. Hope it works out well for you. Chris

    An open letter from Sheriff Jim

    I wasn't going to name names,but have you visited the Atlas forums?Holy I have never seen more bashing anywhere and for the smallest things.The bashing of a very good product and the person who bought it because a railing looks too thick or the sound isn't exactly right or there's too much space...

    An open letter from Sheriff Jim

    Well,I'm thinking about joining as it seems like a decent site and shouldn't be judged by a few comments in the one thread I actually read.This is the first and only site I've joined so I'm comfortable here,but there are a couple I have come across that seem like good sites.I can't remember the...

    An open letter from Sheriff Jim

    Seems like a decent enough site although with a bit more "brashness" then what I'm used to here.One of the threads I read there was some "The Gauge" bashing which I don't understand,but to each his own I guess and it doesn't really bother me.I see Tetters joined today,I wonder how he likes it so...

    The move was pretty good and no we didn't move TOO far away.We were renting a house at 35 Riverside Dr. and we bought the house at 31 Riverside Dr. just a couple of doors down:). There is a really large crawl space in the basement with a ton of room,but it will take a lot of work to get it up...

    Internettrains.com ? Worst decision ever!

    I've heard good things about Wholesale Trains,but have not used them as of yet.Here's a good place also... Ulrich Models Hobby Store Home Page Very good experience with them.The owner actually won an item of mine on Ebay and we ended up talking a bit,very nice and personable guy. Chris

    Internettrains.com ? Worst decision ever!

    Internet Trains Customer Ratings, Reviews and Prices at ResellerRatings Not a lot of ratings,but enough to get an idea what kind of business they are.Do a Google search for them and you will not feel alone. Chris

    what kind of train is this??

    An 2-4-0 would be a "Porter" type steam engine.If it's an 2-4-2 it would be a "Columbian"type engine.I can't tell for sure but it looks like a 2-4-0 to me. Chris

    Pronouncing the word "Geep"

    It only makes sense that you pronounce it "JEEP" since like it's WW2 namesake was built to be an general-purpose vehicle.That's my take on it and if someone doesn't like it they can kiss my behind:). Chris

    Everything looks great Kevin! Maybe I'll have to get an undecorated PCM SD7 or BLI SD9 and have you do one up for me;). Chris
