More cabooses on the way (Imagine this first paragraph said by James Earl Jones) Low and behold, this day the seventh of October in the year of our Lord 2012, I got a break from the proverbial "Honey-do" list and the repairs on my truck. Work was re-initiated on the Whiskey River Railway...

Holy balls Bill! I really am amazed at how far this thing is coming along, that and the number of castings you've made. It all looks great. Tyler

Bill, I like the results so far. It's a little different than I imagined, but since I'm not an artist by any means I can't take my thoughts and put pencil to paper and draw out how I imagined. By the castings and this mock-up, you have my approval. Tyler PS: The best part about this picture...

Bill, I only had one issue with air bubbles in my molds when I made them and it was kind of a "duh" moment on my part. For those who didn't know, I attempted to make a copy of a old metal-style Roundhouse outside braced boxcar and it's parts. One thing that I overlooked was taking off the brake...

After re-reading the question, I realized I didn't answer your question. Honestly, I don't know since I've never played any of the above mentioned games. Many many moons ago I did play BrikWars, basically WarHammer but with Legos. You build ships and arm troops, then blow em up. Fun times...

When I was stationed in Korea I almost got into Flames of War for two reasons: 1. I love WW2 2. Flames of War is close to HO scale But the single most reason I didn't get into it was because no English speaking people knew what the game was or what it was about. What was the point if I...

I can't remember if it was O or HO, but they have a model of the real deal at the Tennessee Central Railway Museum. That beast's footprint is about 3-4 ft square and we don't have room in our yard for something that crazy. At least the Nashville station is still standing, unlike the original...

Bill, I was just cruising through some geared lokie websites when I saw this contraption and imagined you at the helm of this: http://www.gearedsteam.com/other/images/monte_cristo_wash-kinsey_willam.jpg What my real motive was is to figure out which of the three main types of geared...

Thanks Doc Tom, it took me a while to make time but I'm finally getting back into finishing projects before the weather is less in my favor. The shelf is almost done now, it just needs a few nails in the shelves to hold the weight of cars or locomotives and to be stained then clear coated in...

Bill, I like it so far, that should be a neat caboose when it's all said and done. Tyler

Castings and display shelf Gents, I've been slacking at updating in the WRRy world. To be honest, not much has happened. I did bust out my casting kit in early July and attempted to cast new parts using a old Roundhouse outside braced cast metal boxcar kit that was partly disassembled. Soon...

Very neat Bill, this already looks nifty. Tyler

Bill, Let me check my stash of trucks, I might have a extra pair of ones that are close. If I remember correctly, that old Mantua combine kit of mine had some Bachmann trucks on it that since they were oversized (possibly On30 trucks) that they didn't allow much movement unless I was running...

Post some pics of your beast and I'm sure someone will take a stab at figuring out what you scored. Tyler
