    Good ones Russell.

    This week I'm posting this photo called, 'Shop Built.' I enjoy putting these cars together. Jim

    Nicely weathered. Not overdone, as some folks tend to do.

    Yes, in memory of his dad who worked for Santa Fe and in honor of his mom who is still a rabid railfan. When the cars are stored on the Garden Track at Kansas City Union Depot during the summer "hurricane season" she likes to go up there and just sit in the dome to watch all the BNSF and UP traffic through there.

    Nice bashing, Jim. Looks like home-brewed solutions to local needs.

    I just got this in the mail today from Japan. It's a Kato N scale W7 Series Hakutaka shinkansen.

    It's okay. I love my WP, but Japanese trains just do something for me. If I had room, I'd have two layouts, one WP and the other JNR.
