    MOW photo from today

    Here is an interesting car I got photos of this weekend I thought others would like to see. It's interesting how the large wheel seems to turn the entire center of the car with the turnout track somehow. If anyone is interested in modeling this car I have lots of photos I took of details that...

    plastics hauled in the covered hoppers

    I think Pitchwife says it best for all but we can keep on trying. I will post some photos of the stuff I found that I think may work for the pellet modeling but I don't really have a need for it right now. D

    plastics hauled in the covered hoppers

    I wanted to know what plastics hauled in the covered hoppers is like. Do the plastics get shipped as little pellets or round little bullets of some sort. What size would these pellets be and what would the pellet colors be? Would you find these spilled on the tracks near loading or unloading...

    My first structure

    I'm near the end of what I'm going to do with the brick walls on this model. I spent an hour tonight looking for my colored pencils but that's a different issue I'll deal with later.

If so, you will need to wire this on it's own line or somehow terminate the flash from going...
