My workbench is empty right now. Well, except for the packing tape and Sharpie marker - we're moving at the end of February so any building is on...
Dangit, all these shows are happening at just the wrong time for me! We're currently in the process of packing to move at the end of February, so...
Good grief! An out-of-tune air horn is sheer torture to someone with perfect pitch!
Needs to be painted Enchantment Blue, Federal Yellow, Whitehead and Kales Grey to look right. :D
I know that the C&O had a major yard in Russell, Kentucky and that there was a car repair shop built there in 1929. Other than that I don't have...
Nothing special for now. Been working on the Modern Coaling Tower from Walthers in N-scale off and on for a couple weeks. On hold and waiting to...
Back about 20 years or so ago my dad wanted to get back into model railroading. Due to very limited room for a layout he decided to go with...

Walthers/Life-Like 2-8-4 C&O Kanawha (Berkshire to you heathens lol). Never have the money when I see one for sale, can never find one for sale...
I'm actually in the process of going through my paint collection right now. Decided to build a plastic model kit I've had sitting around here for...
I had full plans to go to Pomona but a last minute unexpected expense said otherwise. Right now making Anaheim is in serious doubt. Living up here...
The workbench beside me has 150 or so jars of paint from Tamiya, Testors, Floquil and Humbrol that are easily 15-20+ years old - and just as good...
I sent them an email and got a reply back saying it was forwarded to their production & design team for consideration. It also stated they are...
I inherited my C&O bug from my dad, who grew up watching C&O coal trains in West Virginia. Guess you might say it runs in my blood.
Mine is a Life-Like BL2. My dad had two in C&O colors when he had his N-scale layout in the late '80s, early 90's and they were always my...
2 Kato Mikes and a Life-Like BL2.
Sweet! A bit faded and rusty, but still a wonderful thing to see!
