A bit late to the game, but figured I could add a bit of info here. The U28C was a transitional engine that only lasted a few years. Early U28Cs...
The Walthers NACC 5 bay PD hopper models one of my favorite prototypes. These cars were famously painted in Wonder Bread/Hostess Cake and other...
Not for nothing Jenna, but the real cars don't have door gaps either:...
The truck centers are the key. From what I understand, they will use the GP9 chassis with some modifications to take the new shell. The total...
Copying a thread from another site: After several requests Briggs Models is considering producing N scale body shells for the GE U18B and U30B....
I use NCE decoders where possible. There are certain engines I need to use Digitrax (MTL SW1500) or TCS (pre-dcc split frame engines). I use ESU...
It was brought to my attention that I didn't mention any frame modifications in this post. YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE LIP ON THE TOP OF THE FRAMES...
Bringing this back to the top. Briggs is only about 10 reservations short of a production run for the GP40-2LW. Send your requests in! The C415...
I haven't really thought about DCC much until I actually started looking at just how massive operations could get on the layout I'm designing. At...
I decided to try my hand at installing an ESU Loksound decoder and speaker into a custom painted B23-7. [IMG] [IMG] B23-7 with LoKSound I used...
We measured the wall and it is a good 3 meters long. The width of the shelves can't be more than 20-30cm, so no return loops. An industrial area...

Just an idea of one. Branch goes right to left. Starts in a wooded area, passes a dilapidated house with faux brick tarpaper siding, goes over a...
Back story: My wife and I have been building a small house in southern Thailand where she grew up. The new home was to serve as a new house for...
Any idea when these parts will be available online? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes, they are quite different than town houses. They are three family tenements with each floor the plan as the one below it. The front door...
Jason, I used to think this as well until I received some FXD vehicles. It totally changed my thinking. Now I Bestine the parts and hit with...
James, that looks great! Will you provide one without handrails and grabs? These never come out well in FUD/FXD. Reese provided mounting holes in...
YES please! I saw one only once in Conrail. Great looking engine with a lot of unique history. I think these were assigned to the anthracite lines...
After an initial burst of enthusiasm, there has been a quiet lull for a while. At first I ran into more problems with FUD than it was worth, but...
