Is that the dem that wrecked on UP a little while back?

Wow, theres a lot going on there.

I dont like it, I rather buy a building half or full size kit.

Writing is one of my hobbys and a recent discovery of pictures of my old layouts inspired me to write this. Humble beginnings (1995 to 1996) We all start somewhere. My start was a 4x8 sheet of plywood; my memories of the layout are hazy. A simple loop worked its way around the sheet of...

I've made acella cars go flying 50 feet away from the track, Hit another BNSF train head on when i forgot to change a switch, ran a 50 car tank train down the hitastsu line at full speed just for fun....

I made a simple 2 track oval with a bunch of sidings on the inner loop for industries once the "Operations" bug bites him. It's about 2x7 (going by a rough estamate) the colors at the right on the tracks...

Thats cool!, If only we could get a AC model.

Thanks for the advice shay, I LOVE your stuff in the bashing forum, I had that hopper when i was little I "Weathered" it with some black paint streaks running down the side, Not bad for a 10 year old i guess. Something that worrys me is that bar under the coupler, im thinking about losing it...

Hahahah! did posey really say that? Hes one funny guy, i need to pick up that book of his.

Heres a picture of said caboose, mine doesnt have the crane

Im embarking on a project where im turning a model power transfer caboose into something worthwile. First, what type of trucks and knuckle couplers should i drop in, i dont have a picture but the car is marked with a "Saftey first" on the side of the flatcar part and an 8200 on the coup, If...
