lol @ us addicts. I love the BLMA drill jigs that come with their details. But they are difficult to tape to locomotives and make em stay in place

I always mess up while drilling the holes on the shells. A lot of times they come out misaligned.

Nice find. Those look very useful. I will deffinetly get a set of these. Thanks for the info

yeah, those handrails on yours are from the older run. They are the ones with the truck mounted couplers that you had to cut out to replace with the 1168s (I think). Nice job on that one. It looks nice.:thumb:

One mistake I made, that you might run into with this track plan is the "S" curves. You should try to put atleast a short straight in between them. Youd be surprised how often model trains derail and/or become uncoupled on these.

NScale Supply is awesome. 4NScale.com is too. BuyNScale.com. and where I get most of my models, EBAY hehe. Everyone should follow Kato's footsteps and add ditch lights to their models.

these are all HO scale, right?

id like to see a picture of a UP engine with the brown

hey, thats cool. i know people who model a certain paint scheme of certain railroads of certain era. i was just curious

hey, it may not be too bad. I mean, i really like the yellow and gray. but for example the ksc of mexico, they used the exact same as the kcs. then they came out with that colorful paint when the GEvos came out. it looks awesome.
