They look like a pretty light brown color, a bit like an onion or potato http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2014/08/modeling-sugar-beet-loads.html...
See if the Tsunami manual on their website shows you how to do it. ESU decoders have a section in the manual for adding capacitors; some have a...
You found a photo of the one on reddit. There was only a single prototype car built, which makes the UP sighting so rare. The Budd Lo-Pac design...
Is that the Budd Lo-Pac 2000 well car in the second photo? If so, this is an extremely rare shot. Are there any subsequent photos in your...
Good catch on the NYC diner. That photo is on the Passenger Car index too, I don't know how I missed it; I was looking at other numbers right next...
It is not a prototype B&O diner. The two road numbers offered are 1090 and 1091. Here is an HO brass model accurate for those two same cars:...
5511 was just donated to Railroading Heritage of Midwest America along with the Challenger. I don't think I have ever paid much attention to this...
There are still scales, but they are in the 'filters' now, not in the category tree. if you are on a computer, they should be on the left side...
I would remove the DCC decoder and test the locomotive on DC. The model should work decently in DCC. Even if the model isn't the most modern...
I watch a decent amount of scale modeling videos on youtube, and CA glue as filler is becoming more common and popular. Well-known and highly...
If you want a DC Metro model, it looks like a designer on Shapeways has created one:...
I think it was smart of them. The Challenger was not in very good shape, and we all know they weren't going to do anything with it. The Centennial...
Getting the Challenger running will be insane. RRHMA is involved with the Milwaukee 261, so they already have experience with big steam. I think...
6323 is preserved at the Illinois Railway Museum, but all three of the locomotives in your first post are scrapped. 5629 was cut up in 1987 after...
There is the exact same model on eBay right now: https://www.ebay.com/itm/115355930885?hash=item1adbbfd105:g:kZIAAOSwVYJiGY5K This is Varney...
Honestly, I understand. I guess it's a good thing that the hobby has so much variety, but it seems like normal and mundane cars are overlooked in...
The Illini Railroad Club took some of our modules to the Cornfield Free-Mo meet in McLean, Illinois this weekend. The Decatur train show also...
I attended a Free-Mo meet this weekend and caught this set of power making some local moves. I believe 1066 is based out of Bloomington, IL, as I...
The clearance should be the height of the trains, and maybe enough space to get your hand in to fix a derailment.
