    Well never actually put them all together ... so i took them out and
    wow ....

    first off the first one made .... ( seen one in ho so made this one in N scale
    to go with my f59 876)

    Metrolink 187

    [​IMG]

    Then Came the Bike coach ( can't locate the other one.... )

    [​IMG]


    then jumped to Coaster UC San Diego coach & Wells Fargo

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Well after few repeats ...... got another Metrolink - Weekend Pass

    [​IMG]

    Well after looking at Ho and getting the Dash 8-32 decided to make the
    Metrolink Sounder leased coach .... ( plan on whole set and the dash 8-32 for motive power.... which metrolink used at one point #503 to be exact ).

    [​IMG]

    while hunting for the Metrolink Angels express stumbled upon this
    Metrolink safety ( with smarty on the middle of it... ) still on the workbench

    [​IMG]

    as soon as i can get good enough pics ( lots of editing ) angels coach but for now
    also working on the Coaster We Salute You , and just finished editing the Coaster
    Fuelish coach --- but dont have enough cars..... LOL

    as for the coaster Cab i think the only one i gonna make is this one but with both sides same image .... ( don't want a surgeons face on a car ..... )

    [​IMG]

    if i ever get to making any of the Hyundai cars .... i should have them looking as good as those
    i guess....
    Never thought i would have such a collection ( well there are few of them out there that others run in their clubs - so far there is Metrolink bikes and Metrolink Weekend Pass in HO)

    Those are really sharp! I just spent WAY too much on my impossible to replace TRE Bi-Levels to decal them....

    By the way, how do your bi-levels run? Mine just seem to jump the track at anything. Even my F59PHI detects every imperfection in the rails. In fact, that sorta makes it my best test vehicle. :) I love the set - I just wish I loved the way it ran better.

    can make those ...

    a lot better now with new chassis :) ..... designed new chassis for the bi-levels and can use kato inside bearing trucks
    and can power for interior lighting or for cab car lights and sound

    here is the shapeways link for the chassis ( listing one on ebay too )
