I'm going to be unspamming a block of the messages that were marked as spam yesterday. Since the perpetrator started with some of the very oldest blogs, July 2008, we're going to see some posts that haven't been seen in a long time - or ever, by many of our newer members. 

Thank you for your patience as I clog up the Recent Posts list with this activity...

I didn't add any detail, just moved the horns from the side body to the nose, as I seen this on the photos I downloaded from http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/.

So, after seeing Mike Confalone's videos on TMTV, I decided to give this a try.

What do you think? 

Please, remeber that this is my first try on diesel weathering.

What DC power pack/setting/voltage would one use for a Blackstone HOn3 engine, HO or N scale? The scale is HO but the track is N (3).

Last week I received the IHC Packing Plant and Cannery kits, which I bought from a german

ebay seller. During last week I built the kits and now they are nearly finished. Only some details are missing. And the roofs are not glued down, so that I can add some interior at a later date.

...was looking at the Model Railroader webcam and saw Cody trying something on the new layout. He couldn't get it to move though i saw what it was right away. He had the controller. plugged in on the wrong side of the powercab jack

i guess having an article to write for MRH does give you some incentive to get things done. So I have been working on Kingsbury Ave this weekend. Heres a sneak peak  at some of the work.
