found old #24 2-8-0 backing up to hook up with a work flat.

yah but now we are looking at maybe 1 or 2 years before they will send them out.

the bigest problem i have found with both hon3 2-8-0 kits is wheels being just a little off and it wabbling like a drunk. i have built 3 of these one runs the best of any of my hon3 engines one runs ok the other runs but looks like a drunk man walking home from the bar.

2-8-2 number 2 backs in with a new tender. just a little work and some paint and she will be back out on the road.

noon some fast work on the old mack speeder

A nice sun rise over old 101 in for a fast check up before heading out for a hard day's work.

well i use the Wal-Mart .94 a can spray paint it drys pretty fast and i never use clear till after i put the decals on. i wait 24 hours or more somtimes i wait as must as a week before decaling but then a clear coat it at about 4 to 6 house later. then i weather then clear again.

From what i have seen in HOn3 Inexpensive and Hon3 don't go together very well. As for the roundhouse engines i have a couple of the shays i would love to sale. also i have built 3 of the 2-8-0's one is a great runner one is ok the other is garabage. i have a few brass engines in HOn3 a few of...
