Southern Pacific Kodachrome GP9R 3784

I recently competed a new kitbash detailing project. I never was a keen fan of the Kodachrome paintscheme, but as I model the SP in the 80's, I cannot get around them and needed to have at least one on the layout, so I used a Lifelike Proto2000 GP9 as the basis for this project. 

Here is the end result , prior to weathering etc.

 

SteinJR passes away

Sadly, it has come as a shock to me, very unexpected, but via another website http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6049 , I found out that Steinjr, from Norway, author of some great trackplans in MRH, and advisor to many with trackplan questions, or other modeling topics, has passed away suddenly, age 47 , leaving behind his wife and young children. 

Ten mile creek trestle build

Hi Joe,

A while back now, I've purchased the downloadable series of your scenery build series, based on Ten mile Creek. 

One of the subjects I was interested in watching was how you construct the trestle. I've also got the plans and found several of the dimensions on it. I also heard you mention several of the dimensions in the video. 

However, I can't seem to find some of these in the catalog of Evergreen, particularly the larger sizes. Have they stopped making them, or am I making a mistake?
