Thanks, folks! I'll see what I can cook up, picture-wise. The close-ups of the bending part of the how-to weren't all that great in detail, but maybe the installation will work better.;)

What's your favorite little cost-saver? Your favorite way to make something easier than someone else thought possible? How do you do what you do on your layout? Here's a starter:Homemade grab irons .

Why not? OH, wait, Uncle Pete welded the doors shut, and left the handles, and the lettering.... Caution: ~400K http://home.bresnan.net/~j.siembida/DCP_4035.JPG (edit:(edit: I can't make it show up small..... Help?))

Did you break an N-scale champagne bottle over the engine's nose before its maiden voyage over your new layout? And BN no less, at the point! U da man!;)

Very nice, Dave! If I had one to do, It'd become BN 8002.. The Tigerstriped unit. The ONLY SD40-2 to get tigerstripes. I am unsure why the scheme only lasted till '89, when the 8002 once again hit the paint shop, this time emerging with a Whiteface.

Roster shots of the SD40-2's and the lone SD40 in service on the HPS:

Welcome aboard!!! I use Atlas C80 exclusively, *I move a lot, military*and Peco c80 insulfrog turnouts. Peco makes the most bulletproof DCC-ready turnouts money can buy, IMHO. Atlas C80 will allow all but the most crude flanges to work, and like I mentioned earlier, it's bulletproof. When...

Rick, Awesome looking backdrop! I only WISH mine looked that good! Great progress on the layout!!

Personally, I'd have to have an F7 in Great Northern Big Sky Blue. Or an F45 in the same scheme... OTOH, I'd like an NP F7 in the 2-tone Lowey greens, A-la North Coast Limited... Or SP&S 700... OK, I'm done... Really!:p :eek:

No, thank YOU! Update with more pics! http://www.trainboard.com/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=17;t=000266;p=1#000006

I am taking a business trip to Kirtland AFB, 28 July-01 August. I would love to meet anyone from Albq. *I'm too afraid to butcher the spelling* while I'm in town. You can reply here, or to my email. Thanks!

Follow the link to Trainboard ... Enjoy!!!

Jeff, BNSF uses a pair of H1 Geeps for local, and yard duty. I think that Geep was one of the pair that BNSF stations at Cheyenne Yard. It was just cut in behind road power. OR, it came in with the road power. Granted, this is nothing but a glorified branchline, but last week, I witnessed a...

Err, uh.. ROOT Beer, that is... :D This isn't that other forum...:eek:

Are you sure you didn't try to install each individual rivet?:eek: With detail THAT big, it's hard to put away the #80 drill bits...:rolleyes: Very nice!

Nice! A little weathering, and the roads will be just right! Looks really good. Keep us packed with pics! :cool:

Relax, Brew! I know I get the jitters without my forum fix, but maybe this will help.. *hands everyone a cold brew*:D :p ;) :cool: :)

I'm pretty fresh here, myself. I lik this place--it's quiet, and slower than Atlas... That forum can get outta hand real fast!

Thanks, folks! The SD90MACs I do in any BN fantasy scheme go like hotcakes on ebay... I have one more to paint, anyone up for a trade or something?

In Cheyenne, Where else? That H2 A/C unit behind the Superfleet cab doesn't do the unit justice. Too bad she's so weathered... Last, but not least, the perfect railfan vehicle.... (pic 2, my Dodge Dakota 4x4 washed/waxed, dusty) :D ;) :p :cool: :)
