That Centennial has a way to go still, the white pilots are styrene, I replaced both.

Got my SD90/43MAC in the mail today, and some Santa Fe paperwork... Picked up a 3 packs of new wheels from the LHS too.

Great pictures everyone!

Steve - my boys still think your water is real!

Josh - those Amtrak diesels look great!

Chessie - really nice scenery around the tracks...I'm taking lessons from your pics.

Ralph - PC all the way! Those rails look perfectly weathered.

Kurt - you really need to post more pictures. Your attention to detail is something to see.

Deano - Seeing your detailed engines makes me seriously reconsider Nscale for HO. Boy they look great.

Tom - That siding work is great. I like the telephone poles, the ground cover, and that cement plant is really well done.
