    Greetings all,

    I have a few HOn3 trucks, Grandt Line short wheelbase archbars & C&S/RGS Bettendorf style, as well as some built up Kadees, that I wouldn't mind swapping for some HOn30 Grandt Line SR&RL trucks, if anyone has any laying around that they don't need.

    Send me a PM if interested.

    Thanks,

    -Cody

    Wish I could help with the trade. :(

    However, you do have me wondering what's on the work bench? Anything you could share with us? A photo or two?

    :D

    Too many things on the workbench!
    After posting (and mulling over) my ongoing projects list, I'm trying to focus on a specific theme, and while I doubt I'll be successful, the current working plan is at the moment is to narrow my focus to N scale and HOn30 (9mm gauge) models, for at least a while... There's just too many cool trains!

    So true! There's a law out there, about how the neat possibilities always exceed the cash available...

    Here's a few:
    A GE centre cab kitbashed from two Grandt Line 25 ton end cab kits, powered with a Life Like SW mechanism. The other engine is being kitbashed from the GE extra cab and a scratchbuilt hood, on a Kato Pocket Line mechanism. And a couple boxcars and a bobber caboose.

    Thanks Greg,
    It's a Backwoods Miniatures etched brass & nickle kit. It's also my first attempt at soldering a brass kit, which I quite liked.
