In a group of items I recently received two of these covered hoppers in the Pillsbury and C&NW paint schemes. I was curious how prototypical in detail and such these were as there is something about them I really like. I see there are many of these kits on ebay though does anyone know of a better source as putting together a bulk unit train is something I am now thinking of doing. Any ideas on a cheap source of many.

This is to move the discussion of equipment availability from to this blog. We will discuss stuff we found that was helpful to us.

"White Swans" ....

These are running as new billboard reefer models in HO-scale here!

Read a short overview about my just finished project in the following posts.

This blog post will cover a JMRI OperationsPro worked example with emphasis on the features mentioned in this post. It builds on the fine example done by David Haynes and adds some additional more complex features that one is likely to find on a smaller layout (or a local area on a larger layout).
