All, I am developing a two-deck Sn3 layout plan for my basement. The following are some givens and druthers (I welcome comments):

I like critters. My first critter was a GE 44-ton (a Keystone kit), look at my first video www.youtube.com/watch . This 25-ton is made from brass sheet.

This engine is not finished. Another decoder, light, more decals. And a little bit weathering. But I can test run it!

 Hi all - new to this site, but what I see so far I'm impressed. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia - Canada (East Coast) and I model the Maine Central (circa 1970) in HO scale. I have been a model rairoader on and off for a number of years, but this time its 12 years and counting, and the intrest is still strong - suspect I'm in it to stay now!!Come see my layout blog at nottinghamsub.blogspot.com  Cheers.

Here are a few images of some recent locomotive and freight car painting and weathering projects.    It makes a pleasant break from building benchwork.

Figured I'd start a blog entry with some of my weathered rolling stock.

Modeling the modern era presents allot of fun when it comes to weathering. We've got rusty heaps of metal called "boxcars" sometimes with lots of "local art" covering the sides. Then there's the big metal cans full of grain, again with "local art". Intermodal trains are full of dusty dirty stack cars, spine cars, and TOFC. Then you've got the venerable gondolas, and some "shiny" Amtrak Superliners.

Hi There

As a new member to the MRH family I thought I would post a link to my layout blog.  

http://nscalefortstjohnsub.wordpress.com/

That is the central point for my construction journal, plans and photographs of both the prototype and models.  Expect new content 2 to 3 times per month.

Hello all,

I am new member. I live in France, I am 58' old.

I am modeling american trains since 1977, in HO, HOn3, On3, and since 1987 Sn3. I like all scales, and all US trains, but I have a "little" preference for Colorado narrow gauge, since my first US travel in 1989. It is a love affair !

My English is approximate, be lenient with me !

I thought I would take a moment to post a link to my blog  showing the evolution of my layout.
