    All Things Korea

    Gents, I was able to get out of Pan Mun Jom, Korea for this extended weekend to venture into Seoul to visit a old Korean Army buddy of mine from the first time I was here. Since the fastest and cheapest way to travel most places on this peninsula is by rail I snapped some pics from my travels.

    Micro R/C

    Normally I live in the model railroading side of Zealot, but I'm venturing into new horizons. A long time ago I had found this video and became hooked on a new journey that will combine both hobbies: B36PhUhPmuI I've found out that Roco had made a WW2 US GMC CCKW (holy acronyms!) that had a...

I'm just wondering if anyone has built a pilot mounted snow plow that is removable when summer comes around. I noticed some of the brass lokies have them, such as DRG&W's C-16's and NP's Pacific's.

    The Whiskey River Railway

    To start off first, the Whiskey River Railway is a semi fictitious railroad. It is influenced by the miniature railroad my "uncle" has at his amusement park but I decided to model it as a full size railroad set in the 1940's. I have a short "history" of the line that I wrote up many years ago as...

    AHM Casey Jones issues

    I have two AHM Casey Jones 4-6-0's and I'm looking to upgrade them for a future conversion to DCC. First off I want them to run great on DC and run at reasonably realistic speeds. I'm just wondering if it'd be better to put a regearing kit in them or a new motor with a gear head kit on it, and...
