I'd say the NS would be like the UP and it would just become the bland NS paint scheme.

I wish we did operations on that layout. We were in the process of setting up operations but they never finished before i left. They pretty much had a car card for every car including some of the member's cars but they still had to make the waybills and i think part of that was figuring out...

Chicago Hot Dog Stand Here is the hot dog stand I was referring to previously. I happened to have the camera semi ready and snapped a shot while I was heading out of the area on Monday afternoon. I should stop there one of these times.

I think someday i should introduce some Conrail locos to your layout. Or maybe something more neutral like KB&S RS-11s hehe. Nice new sheme though.

I didn't hear about that elderly couple but some people i go to chuch with had their back yard wash out because of all the rain we had 2 weeks ago. They even ended up on the KCCI news. Flood Rips 10-Foot Hole In Family's Yard - Weather News Story - KCCI Des Moines

Thats a great idea. Never thought of doing that from that angle.:thumb:

Very nice!! I love "what if" paint schemes. IMHO Union Pacific screwed up half of their Heritage locos paint schemes. You, sir, get an A+ in my book.:thumb::thumb:

If you want a decent running and better detail dash 8 and can settle for a 4 axle then look for the atlas ones that came out a couple years back Atlas Model Railroad Co.

#5 reminds me of one of Weezer's banners.

That musta been harsh, Ralph. What did your itinerary end up being?

I am building a layout with Atlas Code 83 track and turnouts on the mainline and shinnohara track and turnouts on my industrial area mainly because my dad has a ton of the code 70 flex track. That, i believe, is the most realistic setup you could have since code 83 represents the most realistic...

Finally!! Well I managed to get a full loop of track finished around the room. I wired the swing gate to the main part of the layout and hooked up the Zephyr & UR91. It sure feels good to get those trains going again. :band1:

Nice, getting rarer and rarer.

What is known as the water bottle. They use this as a welding shop. There ya go guys. Hope you like. I was working on putting new lattice under my back porch.

Looking out the baggage car. Heat shot. "Exclusive view" Under the fireman's window

Here's some more shots. This one is a closeup of the upholstery on all the seats. Here is the seats in the main part of the dome car. Here is the seats in the dome.

Now everything should be better for your viewing pleasure.

I managed to make it to Boone, IA while the 844 was on display there for a day and a half. I know a guy that volunteers for the UP Steam and he showed me some areas of the cars that most people didn't get to see. If the Rear end car was unlocked I would have been able to get into it too. I...
