    That's Berkshire Junction's E-Z line. Love the stuff. Got it from Fifer Hobby. Only tough part is getting the proper sag into it.

    Fantastic layout. Some more trees and a lot more green and it could be a West VA. scene also with the addition of some CSX or NS locos. I like the way that the structures look on the hillsides.

    Great pictures as always. Can't wait to see a 48 car unit oil train running on your layout. (Hint hint...)

    I can do it now if you can handle a mish-mash of cars - with ethanol tankers and others standing in for crude cars...but yeah, they're on my list.

    What washers did you use on the DI stacks? I'm having trouble finding something that doesn't require a lot of filing.

    I used surplus washers from the Intermountain 5161 hoppers - they run just fine without, for me anyway. Got something like 80 of 'em...

    You could email Dave at DI, the website says they will take care of you, it's on their home page...

    Thank you. I had nightmares of trying to ream out a dozen of the Microtrains washers.
