Video I shot it (low-quality, 2MB) on my digital still camera--it apparently does double-duty. It was raining cats and dogs, but still impressive, trackside. This is Tunnel 19, about 32 miles from Denver, at dusk.

What part numbers do I need for Atlas Geep 40, 30, 35, and SD50/60 slow-speed motors? I need one of a 50, and for several Geeps: 2-GP30's, 2-35's, and a 40.

I took a generic shot of clean tunnel motors, and added some photoshop magic: heat, sand dust, dirt/grime, weathering, etc. What do you think?

A local railfan looking to catch the elusive RS-3 on the BN High Prairie Sub took these shots today: He never did see the RS-3.... Must be lurking in the shops... Here's the DRGW units, as they arrived in Hauser, WA this afternoon: Sharp-eyed railfans will note DRGW 5510, an SD50 in...

Are they worth the $30 USD purchase price??? At the price they are sold, they should be the best in the business. Any thoughts? Wright Turnouts

The pics I am about to post don't do the model justice....

I know, it's a bit early, and I am going down on business, to Wichita Falls. I love to meet other model railroaders, see their layouts, and doing it all at a show is even better! Who's with me? The more the merrier!

A local railfan was busy last night... Here we see M-PASKCK, in the big cut near Granite, ID, headed by a pair of BN Deuces: In this shot, a local job with SP&S 45, an aging SW9, in the lead with a cut of empty centerbeam/bulkhead flats to head back onto the Kettle Falls branch to be...

This is the last one I plan on doing. The paint job is easy, but the disassembly of these beautiful beasts is enough to make a preacher swear!! If they could come as a kit of disassembled parts, I may rethink the above statement. They are fun to build, though! I have it on TSAWDMH, as it...

This one is gonna be a doozie!!! Warning to dialup folks, this is image-heavy! The prototype: OK, I started late last night, and as of today, I have the basic caboose structure done. It really looks neat, and it's not painted yet!!! From the top, here's how it came from a basic...

Well, it is... Progress on the BN High Prairie Sub!! Here's an overall shot of the false backdrop: Here's what the top of it looks like: Here's a tight closeup, almost full size of the end detail: Here's a head-on shot broadside of the backdrop...

Folks, my local club, Sherman Hill Model RR Club, in Cheyenne, WY, is about to get ideas to build a 4x8 for club use. Train shows, conventions, etc. We have a sturdy 4x8' skelton frame, legs, and such already salvaged from previous layouts. My buddy Mike and I will build it,a nd we want...

What's your favorite little cost-saver? Your favorite way to make something easier than someone else thought possible? How do you do what you do on your layout? Here's a starter:Homemade grab irons .

Why not? OH, wait, Uncle Pete welded the doors shut, and left the handles, and the lettering.... Caution: ~400K http://home.bresnan.net/~j.siembida/DCP_4035.JPG (edit:(edit: I can't make it show up small..... Help?))

I am taking a business trip to Kirtland AFB, 28 July-01 August. I would love to meet anyone from Albq. *I'm too afraid to butcher the spelling* while I'm in town. You can reply here, or to my email. Thanks!

BN only had 3: B32-8's. The idea: kitbash one from an Atlas B40-8, and kitbash a cab form another Atlas GE loco cab. The problem is: BN's prototype example had vertically stacked headlights, the Atlas B40 has side-by-side lights. Also the Atlas B40 has an angled roofline, BN's B32-8 has a...

BN 7041 is a chopped Kato snoot http://forum.atlasrr.com/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=18560 SP&S is a real SW-9, one of only 3 they owned, and BN 266 was painted to match a real SW9 with shortened handrails. N'joy!! (how to)
