Carfloats must be getting pretty old by now. Maybe age related. Also, loading carfloats is an art. If you put too many cars on one side, it will...
I'm modeling a railroad that was never completed. Moving it up to the late fifties. It will require a few changes in history. Two segments of the...
To answer your question. Yes. Diamond is one of the hardest substances. It will cut metal with less wear than a steel blade. Frank
I don't get to railfan much, but I saw one on the tail of a consist on the old D&H east of Oneonta the other day. Didn't have the camera, of...
With four pages of tribute already, I doubt I have much to add. I conversed online with him several times. Not having met him in person is my...

Remember, these are BRAND NEW units. Half price is pretty decent. Almost willing to spring for a Cotton Belt RS-3, to repaint to run with my FA's....
It's a model of a piece of UP history. Railroad history for that matter. If you expect one to come out in plastic RTR soon, you will probably be...
Make sure the nail polish remover you are using contains acetone. Some do not. On an area that large you have, probably will have to work...

Is that a home made mechanism? Frank
I believe the Walthers caboose with the full bay is a close match for this car. Check with Sunrise, I thought they had one. I was just at their...
