This is the kind of stuff I've always been confused about. Why do some cars carry the old reporting marks and why some don't . This was...
That's awesome. I need to get a good camera to keep with me just so I can shoot a picture if I happen up on some old CSX freight cars.

I've hated every track planning software I've tried to use. I'm just not patient enough and computers hate me.
That's it !! Thanks. I either overlooked it or wasn't searching in the right spot. I appreciate it.
About a year ago I saw a great step by step tutorial on painting N scale locomotives. I believe it was a Burlington Route Geep. I can't remember...
