Congrats!I worked at Carr's Hobbies here in Duluth when I was younger,what a great job!Good luck,and may you sell a lot of trains. Chris

Added to my favorites,I'm thinking of getting the weathering set. Chris

He's fine guys,he was just going through some personal issues.I sold him a couple trains a couple weeks ago and not long after he explained why he hadn't been able to get me the money.He PM'ed me today to say that he would get the money for the trains out today and things are getting better now...

I have two,an BLI AC6000 with sound and an Kato SD90/43 Mac.I am actually considering selling the AC6000 to concentrate more on the DM&IR/CN,but I'm not sure because it's a great engine. Hey Josh,my SD90/43Mac needs some work done on it.Mostly small repairs such as a new horn and a couple...

An DM&IR Yellowstone!A SD-M would be cool also,but maybe a SD18 could be bashed into a SD-M?They would have to be good and I'm not sure there is an SD18 model. On second thought I wonder if a BLI RSD-15 might work.They're very similar to each other aren't they? Chris

I don't think they do,the owner of Carr's Hobby is a huge DM&IR fan and he only had two sets,one of which I bought.When I go back I'll pick up the other if he still has it. Sounds like fun,but I'm not sure they all won't be repainted by CN by the time you get up here.That would be a shame...

Most SD38's are still Maroon and Gold,but give them time and they'll get to them.Sadly:(. Both the #406 and #413 are still around,but the #406 has been repainted CN. Here's a link that might interest you... DMIR Diesel Locomotives Chris

Much,much better Kevin!And of course the subjects are the best,very nice stuff! I'll post pics of my Kato SD38-2 when it gets here and for Christmas I'm getting a Athearn Genesis SD45 and have jbakko turn it into SD40-3 #418 or #416 with the "Gopher" scheme.I already have the decals I just need...

No new engines I believe,although most have been re-painted from their awesome "Arrowhead" scheme to the much duller CN scheme.Oh,and they have actually retired several of them lately,bleh! A while back I did see an CN AC4400 or similar on Ore Dock #6.It looked misplaced to me,but of course I'm...

That's why I just bought a Fuji S6000fd,it can take nice photos up to iso800 with little noise and iso1600 is actually doable for smaller prints.Plus it has a true wide angle lens with manual zooming.Here's a couple examples... Both taken at iso800 without flash and hand held.At the $325...

Cool,an NP fan and a reference to one of the best movies ever! They look great!I've never heard anything bad about Stewart Locos as long as you have some modeling skills since they're not exactly rtr. As far as the camera goes,you can try lowering the power of the flash and if that doesn't...

Most definitely a beautiful engine and paint job,they did a great job on it.It's one of several that they use for excursions,they have a DM&IR SD18,Soo FP-7,GN NW-5 and now a Soo 4-6-2 Pacific along with the Soo GP30 to choose from. I can't wait for the "Polar Express" excursion so I can get...

Kato Uni-track,the stuff is really nice!Easy to put together and take apart and like the Atlas stuff mentioned above has the built in roadbed.I've never used the Atlas stuff and I'm sure it's good also,but since I have the Kato stuff I can recommend it highly. Chris

NSSR "Pumpkin Train" ride The other day my wife and son took the "Pumpkin Train"excursion held by the NSSR(North Shore&Scenic Railroad).It boarded at the Duluth Depot and went up to to the Lester River where they got off to pick pumpkins and other activities such as games and a magic show then...

JOHN'S TRAINS 1405 3RD AVE N FARGO, ND 58102 (701)...

Good luck with the paint job.I've always wanted an DWP(Duluth,Winnipeg&Pacific) SD40-2 and they use the same cool colors. Chris

20th Century Limited for me,that's good....I think? Although I'd prefer the C&NW "Route of the 400" or the CB&Q "Twin Cities Zephyr",but you could only choose between the West and East coasts.

I have to agree,it's hard to feel sorry for the woman for being so damn stupid!Poor kids,their lives were in the hands of an idiot.I also think the forgotten victims are the engineers,as EasyE mentions,that had to go through something like this because of this woman,could you imagine having to...

Give me a DM&IR Yellowstone any day,love those things!When I go to the train museum here in Duluth I just get a feeling of complete awe looking at the one they have.And to think they were still working a few years before I was born and I just missed them. I am completely miffed as to why no one...

Duh!Yeah i can do that..I think. Thanks again! Chris
