I did understand. It was just seeing the photos, combined with the thought of a youthful bedroom. Which I have seen a few, (both guys and gals), that looked as though someone had tossed a hand grenade into those confines....
Yes, there are a few around. Here is one I did almost 20 years ago from a stock Atlas SD7. SP5309a by nscalestation posted Aug 5, 2017 at 9:04 PM SP5309b by nscalestation posted Aug 5, 2017 at 9:08 PM
Mocking up the roof of the D’Amato Lumber yard it’s only held together with painters tape. I just repainted it since some of the paint peeled.
the amount of work needed to make a single tank SD7/9 is surprising. I am always impressed when I see one.
Railroads sometimes need low-speed power, available with six powered axles, with somewhat reduced axle loads to handle branch lines with lighter or less well maintained rails. The amount of weight savings can be quite surprising. Other tricks of the trade include reducing sand capacity. CN did that with a number of GP9s and RS18s. And that's quite a nice modeling job! Very impressive.
Let's see if this works: I just added a public Facebook photo album of my visit to National Train show yesterday: https://www.facebook.com/john.sing1...4858.1073741832.1199816890&type=3&pnref=story Hope it works, if it does, enjoy! Note there are videos near the end of the 200+ photos.
Unfortunately, "Public" on Facebook means "Anyone on Facebook" and not just anyone on the internet. You can limit it to a "Group" or just Facebook friends but not ever make it available to the internet as a whole.
Thank you John for sharing with us those photos and videos from the show. It was especially great to see Bruce's TTRAK setup as I have been following his building of those for some time.
I understand. I am also working on a PBase album that won't require a login, but I won't get that fully loaded until tonight at earliest. Here's work in progress, it's not done yet: http://www.pbase.com/atsf_arizona/national_train_show_2017 Orlando N-Trak: Here's a HO Gulf & Western shot (club from Corpus Christi, TX) - great scenery
Taken last Saturday at the Livingston Model Railroad club. Ran a short mixed train that night. A combine, coach and a few freight cars. Here's the train picking up passengers. Sorry about the quality, crappy lighting.
