I know what you'er all thinkin' and while that's right I don't mean that kind of touched {got new meds ] What I'm talking about is the message telling me I haven't posted for a while. I'm on quite a few forums,railway and motorcycle and they only notice when I say something not PC {can you...

G'day back Being trailer trash doesn't make for a lotta spare space,so my "empire" is upstairs in the garage,so it ended up,after being torn out twice,being around the walls in a 16 x 24 space.{I took a big bite}

G'day I haven't made coal loads but gravel is like coal,sorta. I hacked a coal{oops ,gravel}shaped load out of styrofoam painted it with white glue and sprinkled on the gravel.This ,I find doesn't make a big change in the weight of the car.

I model CN because {a}when I've lived here {in NS}and not banging back and forth accross the country,I've lived beside the track.{b}my father worked on the section{Springhill sub}for 20+ yrs. You might think that I'd kinda have a head start but I don't remember much about the timeframe I'm...

I'm guessin' not knowing the dimensions but, what if you modified it,...took out the three big windows,replaced them with big,wooden double doors,then you could put in three engines{if it's big enough} have fun

Wow I gotta say I'm improving on this thing{computer}I don't have to holler for Dworis nearly as often. Any way a good site for CN pics {and other CN family members like CV,GT,etc} is CNR Photos.com .Lotsa GP's & F's. the only bit....complaint I have is no pics of roofs. In case you know...

This has nothing to do with your quest,trivia I guess .CN had a GP35 #4100 {don't quote me,I've been wrong before}

I found that the foam outa the back seat of my old 88 won't grind up as fine as the light camping materess .All my stuff is home made,I don't know if it looks good or I just bent my perception, but I like it

thanks for the info,clearence is something I didn't think of.How long are they?I have some 85ft passenger cars that insisted one curve be widened but thats all,this was the one 18 curve I have,the rest are all 22. Thanks again. Oh yeah,has the Proto model cured the one window short problem?

I hope I'm not "hijacking" this thread,some folks get right nasty. Just how bad do those older rubber band drive rdc's run? I really want a couple but the only option for me is used.The last show I was at I picked one up five times but was afraid of the drive and can't afford to waste twenty...

pardon me if I seem a bit thick,but just so I got it, if I were watching a freight in the early '60's it would have very few "foreign" cars? Thanks to you all, very interesting stuff

I'm not lost,just distracted, everybody waits till the last minnit to get their lawnmowers goin'

Thanks. I'm gonna guess it would be better to take the photo's with the bodies off?

All my engines were bought at shows and are "previously owned" none of them have any writing ,so how do I tell who made them? so ,say I wanted parts, I'm guessing they'er Athearn ,

There are more "forign Road" cars in a freight now than thewre are CN. What would the ratio have been in the '60's, and what "foreign Road names would you have seen ,in say '62 in eastern Canada{real east, NS}

Spin or no, I may seem to counterdict myself,I feel greed sticks it's ugly head into the mix. It seems that there isn't a company that makes/does anything that's content to make a profit,no it has to be a HUGE profit, If your not clearing 75 BILLION a year then your in trouble. So you try and...

I'll tell y'what I think. Railways are the safety hazard of the week {or day or whatever} a while ago it was kids coasting{thats sledding for you upper Canadians}without helmets. No I don't think our railways are as bad as they {the madia }say, not as bad as running with sizzors anyway

yessir Mr.Doc sir. our regular is a buck twenty one point none. will likely go up again befor July first, tourists? we don't need no stinking tourists

however tempting,in the intrest of unity I shall refrain

if there is a silver lining to this big black cloud of high priced gas it might be that folks will stay home and railway. I just depressed myself,'cause the nearest hobby shop is in Halifax, about 160 miles {ret}I still don't do metric. I have to go now or I'll start thinking about Herr...
