First Coast Boxcar

To All: This 50 foot Athearn boxcar is an unofficial paint scheme I came up with for the First Coat Model Railroad Society, in Jacksonville, Florida, with sixteen members. We are building a two level HO scale layout in a 50 foot deep storage facility. I painted and lettered the car. Herald art work and photo by Elvin Howland. Yours, Elvin Howland/E.

3D ... Preview Goes Review

Hi all,

a few weeks ago, in various forums I posted a first glimpse at my latest 3D-prints :)
Then came a rehab, and a vacation - together with one or another surprise ... so it took a little longer until I could take the photos and write down some words.

After testing the first items I found two worth printing, and sharing with other 0-scale narrow gaugers.
So these are available from Shapeways:

Prototype research with glassware

Starting Over

I have two 2' x 4' modules with a 2' x 2' lift out section in between them. I've run into a brick wall and I'm thinking of starting over. I'm not happy with the way things have turned out and I'd like to try and do it better. I'm not very far along so it wouldn't take too much time to dismantle. Has anyone else ever gone through this? Do most guys just keep going no matter what? Is there a point when you say to yourself: this isn't working, time to start over. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Tichy Reefer Part 5

This update covers Brake Rigging on the under frame.
First up, Tichy provides a template to cut .010 wire for the brake lines. The wire is provided in the kit.

They have you cut the wire between the two bends in order to fit it through the fish belly frames. Looking at the clearance, you might be able to work it through without cutting. I’ll have to try it on the next kit.
