If I try to scratchbuild the roof or the house plumbing, I can assure you that miss wouldn't be happy!!! :eek: (and the plumber will get rich). (Oh, are you talking about trains, don't you?) :rolleyes: :D

Maybe the summer heat turn the money in water and, as water, it evaporates. :eek: Auto repairs bill, home repairs (plumbing, roof) bill, 5-day holidays expenses, college bill... (ejem, uh, and a Walthers "New River Mining" kit :rolleyes: :oops: ). So, no more new trains until, huummm...

Hey, Ricardo! You have done a very good work, its a nice CP1500 locomotive! :thumb: :D

I have also eard about "drones" and "zombies". Are these the nicks used by some RRs to call the slugs, or we are speaking of different beasts?

All these hi-speed trains are trying to be an alternative to the flights in medium distances and, curiously enough, they look a lot (externally and internally) to the planes that they intend to replace. The engineer in these trains must feel like sitting in a F18 cockpit! :eek: Watch out with...

Humm. This E4 have an "family likeness" to the Talgo 350. I suppose that all these high-speed trains born out of a wind-tunnel will end looking alike. This is the spanish «duck»:

Well, I forgot to mention two facts: a) These tiny «rings» are painted the same colour as the car body (the pics show they more reddish), so I suppose that they should go in a visible spot (the car sides?, the bulkheads?). b) I have also a couple of the Intermountain RailBox cars in «late»...

I know, I know. It's summer and my brain cells are a bit overheathed, so maybe you can help me to figure out what are these things that came with my new Intermountain R-Box cars. When I opened the box and see this tiny yellow rings, I figured that they were some detail parts, but, for a...

I have purchased some of their "basic sets" in Rail Graphics, but I know that they do custom works too. Maybe you want ask them about what you need and the price.

Happy Birthday, Spitfire!! :D :wave:

Hi Jim, Thanks, these are interesting details. I was aware of the Atlas model' incorrect side windows (thanks to the Eager's book pics), but I passed unnoticed the different cupola heights. As for the single stripe cabooses, maybe it will pay to wait and see: If Atlas has just released...

Atlas made D&RGW cabooses in "Prospector" single stripe? I didn't know that... If they were "EV" type also, maybe Atlas will re-release them with another #'s. I also would be happy grabbing a couple of these in single stripe! This are very nice cars. :p :D

New Atlas Cabooses Yesterday I received a couple of the new batch of Atlas' "Extended Vision" cabooses. They are a very nice model (mine are in D&RGW "Grande Gold", of course :D ), with tiny crisp lettering and fine details. The only thing that is a bit deceiving, in my opinion, are the...

Thanks for your advices, friends. :wave: Espeenut, from your post I understand that the D&RGW removed the nose lights just before the buying/merger with SP. I was unaware of this detail, and it's very interesting. Humm. All of you agree that the Athearn is -in general- more accurate. If...

Being the numismatics another of my passtimes, it's funny to realize how two hobbies can sometimes overlap themselves. Several years ago, I started to collect coins and medails with RR motives, as a particular case in my collection. Any of you are 'aficionado' to this or another type of...

I need a Rio Grande SD50 for my pike. :roll: But I'm not decided between the Athearn and the Proto2000 models, so I will welcome your opinions. The Proto2K one, have it the correct nose lights? (this is important) Which one have the orange paint closest to the prototype's Anschutz orange...

Hey, RioGrande, these NAC cars are nice!! :p I LOVE the Genesis cars. Jointly with the Intermountain "Pinnacle" ones, I think that they are the best "modern" plastic H0 cars actually. What a pity that sometimes they are so elusive, specially the D&RGW ones. I gone nuts triying to grab the...

Cool!! :D Thanks for the pics BDC. I have always loved th D&RGW and their routes thru the mountains. I hope that some day I can go there.

...but maybe you will be happier looking here! ;) http://www.hobbylink.com.au/Products%20HobbyLink%20Signs.htm

Woodie, you're right. I have done a quick search and there aren't many aussie vintage signs. The only ones that I'm been found are these pair (tiny size) :(
