    My finished project

    This SD70MAC began as an undecorated Kato model. I had seen pictures of one on Kato's website and decided to give it a try. I had liked that locomotive so much that i wanted to have one just like it. Props to the artist who made the original, i do not remember the fellow's name, and i tried...

    The announcement for the Union Pacific SD70ACe locomotives (including Heritage units) in N Scale was made not long ago. Good day for N Scalers. Eventually, I hope, they will come out with HO. What do you guys think? Can Kato be successful with these locomotives? There is already a picture of...

    Thinking About Switching

    Now dont get me wrong. I am not planning on having any operations to change my gender, or switching teams from the Spurs to the Hornets or even switching from trains to RC cars or planes. I am, however, thinking about switching scales. I do not have a layout, nor am I planning to have one in the...

    Yeeeeeesss

    hehe, Atlas is finally doing their Dash 8 C locomotives in N scale. I hope they dont take too long to do their Dash 8 CWs. I love the Bachmann version, especially the retooled ones. But Atlas runs much smoother

    The new generatio of locomotives is here (and has been here for a while now...) but no word yet on who will manufacture and when will they be available to modelers. I am speaking of the ES44AC, ES44DC, SD70M-2 and SD70ACe. Also, the Genset Switchers. Also, do you all think Atlas will...

    Nose Hand Grabs

    Whats going on everyone? Has anyone ever made any top of the nose grab irons for a Dash 8, either the C or the CW locomotives? I am impressed with the detail the Spectrum Dash 8s have. But the nose grab irons bother me because they are so thick. I have just gotten a hold of some brass wire. the...

    Athearn going Big

    So, do yall think the newly announced Big Boys will outsell their recently released Challengers? I have still to get a challenger...and a Big Boy for that matter. And what ever happened to the Overland SD70ACE orders? They've been "coming soon" for almost two years. EDIT: Its all N Scale...

    Question for detailers

    Sup errone. Im wondering what is the best filler you guys use on your models. Lets say you are adding some BLMA or GMM details such as grab irons, and you accidentally make the hole in the wrong place. What I have used for a while is Testors clear plastic cement, push it from the inside of the...

    CSX, from Bright to Dark

    I have just aquired six N Scale CSX locomotives. There is one SD50, one Dash8-40C, two Kato SD40-2s, one GP40 and one AC4400CW. I have never modeled nor painted nor stripped a CSX engine, nor am I familiar with the line, since I mostly deal with BNSF, SP and UP. I am not a big fan of this...

    Howdy. I was looking at some brass wire at this website, but I couldnt figure out which one would be used for handrails or other small hoses in a locomotive. Which size is the smallest and which is the thickest? Thanks

    Negative feedback for nothing

    :curse: aight, so I buy a DD40 from Ebay, that stated that it was all wheel drive. I get it a week later and I come to find that only two of its 8 axels are powered. All the other wheels spin freely. Also, it had the front coupler missing and the handrails were bent and its got some glue...
