    Errol, Drew and Gary, Thank you. That's a older Atlas unit. The grabs were molded on and some of the other details. All the molded on detail was removed and wire grabs and lift rings were added. Marty

    Handlaying N track. Ballast / weathering

    Jesper, I don't hand lay track but to paint the rail I use a Flat Black paint marker made by Testors. I trim the felt tip to the size of the rail and apply. It goes really fast. After it is dry I come back and add rust or rail brown with a brush here and there. Marty

    Decaling Question

    Tom, I have had a Walther's Erie Lackawanna logo decal run on me also. Maybe the ink or something was not right. I used the Solvaset to remove it and used another from a different set and that set was ok. I apply decals like Vic has said. Great instructions there Vic. The only thing that I...

    My Caboose...need advice

    aartwmich, I thought of another, check to see that the wheels are insulated. The red arrows show where a plastic washer should be. This washer should be between the axle and the wheel at all 4 locations. Marty
