...hey Denis, thanks for the heads up on operating radius. I'll most likely be ok as I believe the sharpest curves on our club layout are around 33". As for detail fidelity on the Sunset models, I've seen the pictures already and they're exact replicas of the A3, A4, and A5 class Northerns...

...ok, ok, I know my handle is Espeenut, but I also have a few other favorite roads, and the SP&S is one of them. I just placed my order for an upcoming release from Sunset Limited, the Northern Pacific class A-3, a 4-8-4 in SP&S markings numbered and painted as #700, which still operates and...

...heres a question for all the Espee and Rio Grande freaks, don't treat me too badly if this is not a plausible idea, but would it be too difficult to convert one of the new 45T-2's into a 40T-2? I've seen it done in reverse, 40 to 45, so it makes sense to me that you could do such a...

Ok, I snagged two Athearn SD50's at the show in Seattle, they were going for a price that made them impossible to pass up, one in Espee and the other in Rio Grande. As you all know the first thing you do, when in a safe place to do so, is open up the boxes and gaze admiringly at your new...

Now that I've had a couple of days to mentally digest all the things I saw at the Seattle National Train Show I thought I'd share a few of my observations with you guys. Being with a display layout that was setting up two days before the show actually started, this gave me a bit of a jump...

...hey Bob, I forgot to mention another thing...when I was chatting with Rob Pisani at the show I made mention of the "Bob's B23-7", you should have seen the big grin that came across his face, so...you never know what may come down the track, as the old saying puts it, "hope springs eternal"...

...hey guys, I forgot to mention that while I was perusing the Atlas booth at the Seattle show I had a bit of a discussion with the guys from Atlas about the Forum. According to Rob, the forum will be back as they said, although they will be making some changes. I asked if the closure was due...

...hey Dave, Fitch is one of the moderators on the Railroad Forum.com, the other forum I've tried out. Problem is, there's also a new member as of today who we've all heard from before, good to be aboard here, looking forward to chatting with all you guys. Lorne Miller

Hey all, Espeenut here, aka Lorne Miller, if we're all going to try and stick together this looks like a place to stay, I've also joined the "railroad forum.com", there's a lot of old familiar names over there as well, including a brand new member as of this morning, who's last name begins with...

...hey there Dave, I was there, I saw it, its even better up close and personal, they had to pry me away so others could take a look as well. John Engstrom asked "...so I guess you like it..." Boy, understatement of the year!! This is going to set me back a few dollars as I'll need at least...
