Very Nice!

I finished up AD&N 1205. I also started on my reblocking/wiring project.

Not right now. The primary period that I model is around 1980. That is when this unit was painted into this scheme. I'll probably get around to doing weathering on my stuff eventually, but right now it is not one of my main priorities. I figure after I get a lot of other stuff done that...

All three of them are good. It just depends on who makes the model that you need.

Thanks, Y'all. This was my second AD&N switcher to be completed. I have two more SW1200s to do. They will each be in different schemes, though. Livesteam, it is a Life-Like SW9/SW1200. They are available at many shops online for around $40. You can find them cheaper if you look...

AD&N 1205 switching pulpwood at Crossett, Arkansas 1980. (Terry Holley photo) My N scale AD&N 1205 switches its' first cut of pulpwood racks. I just finished it tonight.

I want to finish the SW1200 that I am working on and do some work on my Geeps that are in progress.

Thanks , gentlemen. AD&N 17 is a former Reading caboose. The Life-Like NE caboose was the closest match I could find, it was a GN X300 before I stripped it. I got the Atlas trucks from an Atlas NE-6 New Haven caboose. The smokejack came from an old Atlas offset cupola UP caboose.

I took this photo of AD&N 17 on 31 Dec 2003 at Crossett, Arkansas at the old AD&N shop. It had been out of service for 7 1/2 years at that time. Here is my N Scale version. It was made from a $1.50 Life-Like Caboose. I added an Atlas smokejack and caboose trucks. I also...

Well, I had big plans to get some of the locomotives that I'm working on finished. Then I remembered that I had to go to school on Friday night and all day Saturday. One of the classes that I needed was only offered as a weekend course over 4 weekends this semester. And I probably will...

I made progress on the projects on my workbench, but I didn't get anything finished.

Just curious, Why don't you just use a door?

I plan on working on some more AD&N equipment. I have to do some painting and decaling.

I soak shells in 91% isopropyl alcohol and then scrub them with a toothbrush. I usually let them soak overnight. I've yet to damage a shell.

Some use nothing but recycled paper. An example can be found here: http://marcalpaper.com/default.cfm?SiteMenu=Editorial&PageID=181 Some use chips, some use stick wood, some use logs, some use all of them. More good info here: http://www.paperonweb.com/pmake11.htm

I finished up the four cars on the left that are sitting on the interchange. I also started working on a few more.

I finished these up today. A friend of mine came by the other day. He asked me how many of the pulpwood racks that I had. I told him that I had 19. The next time I saw him, he gave me one. He said it was the only one he had and it wasn't right for his layout, so he didn't run it. Now I...

Thanks, gentlemen.

I plan on finishing up a few more cars for the AD&N.

Nice work, Ralph!
