    Yeah, it's old, but it was a fun build...

    My layout is set in 1962 and my WP collection is mainly 1975-1982. My new dream layout is 1975-1982, but likely will never get built (unless I buy a house which won't happen any time soon). That one will be WP and double decked. I already have the plans for it. I build Pacific Northern stuff...

    I have a Western Pacific Big Boy model, but it's not in that cabinet. In there is a NKP 2-8-4 that is soon to be repainted to Pacific Northern as an excursion engine, a WP 4-8-2, a UP Greyhound 4-8-4 by Bachmann (Old one, but runs like a top), and a WP 2-8-0 by IHC (Piece of doo-doo) and a Tyco...

    YOUR Freelance Road?

    I used to work on a 3 mile shortline here in Stockton who has a fleet of over 200 cars and they can regularly be found in North East Canada and down in Mexico. Shortline cars get around my friend!

    Yeah, it's old, but it was a fun build...

    I have had this old Tyco "Loew's Theather" kit for it seems like ever, and today, after I went to lunch with my fiance, I got bored. I had been staring at this kit in my closet every time I grab one of my work shirts, so, since I have been gone away from home for so long, I finally decided "what...

    Gotta love those snoot nosed SD40-2's in armour yellow. My favorite locomotives of all time. Hey, was that Z train one of EP's?

    Hi all *life update*

    Great news Shane! Glad to hear you're on your way to a quick recovery. Model railroading is by far the best form of therapy. Have fun, take care of yourself and let us know how you're doing (and the railroad!)

    YOUR Freelance Road?

    I haven't had the time to start making decals for these yet, but here is the plans for 60' boxcars for my home road, "Pacific Northern". Here is an example of the PN locomotive scheme. I have plans drawn up for PN Coil Steel cars, Gondolas and Centerbeam flat cars, but they are just...

    My Chrismas Haul from Grandma hehehe

    Hey Deano, is yours a snoot nose small SP lettering? If so, I have one with large speed lettering to trade if interested. Mine is getting re-painted into my Home Road, so I am not concerned with the paint scheme, so if Speed lettering is what you're looking for, then hit me up and we can...

    38 And I May Have A Bad Ticker

    My fiance recently had a major heart attack at 43 years old. Blew me away. I was out of town working and got a frantic call from her daughter. I had no idea that folks that young could *have* a heart attack. Definitely opened our eyes. Also amazed me at how fast you can drive 219 miles when...
