I already own the N Scale CNJ Babyface Baldwin shells offered by PiperguyUMD on Shapeways. (They are very well done overall, but there are some...
Beautiful work, JimmyZ. I would suggest that you look into the possibilities of a more accurate sideframe for the 3-axle rear truck. That would...
Someone on this forum may know how to contact Gene Maddox, who owns (or perhaps owned, past tense) most all of the Samhongsa replacement brass...
I think that Kato has the nose contours on the E8 and the F3/F7 as close to "prototypically correct" as possible, with BLI/PCM a close second with...
I googled "bull frog" masking tape, and what I got was "Frogtape". The first thing I thought of when reading this posting was "does it have...
