Photos no hints on what they are unless you want to spoil it don't go to this link

So I took the long couplers on one car (both ends) and replaced them with short couplers. This is a much more prototypical appearance and does not effect opperations.

The changed distance on left it makes a difference even on curves

Inspiration- The base of an N scale Bachmann tank car. I thought it looked more like a Heavy Duty flat car so it became the following.

Yes I am aware it is upsidedown that is a glitch on the mobile platform.

Info- A paper tube (would have preferred styrene) between to "flatcars" The photos tell the rest,

George Booth posted this photo in the Weekly Photo Fun thread titled -

Hi all.

Yesterday was a day for modelling.

Finished tracklaying, after sanding the cork roadbed, made the wiring and connect a ROCO Multimaus to run some trains!

Wife enjoyed it, but me and my kid(he is only 15 months old, but the sound and lights made him laugh ) enjoyed even more.  

I'll post some pics on the next post.

Best regards.

I have two Athearn diesel locos that were a gift to me from my father several years ago. I have not done much with them but would like to something to improve their performance and to weather them. I know nothing about the era these diesels were put into service or how long they were used. I would like to know what the differences are in the different classifications of diesel locomotives such as a GP-2 or GP-50. Where can I go to learn about the different classifications of diesel locos?  I have attached two photos of what I have, any help would be appreciated.

My Summer project is pretty much complete and I would like to share some How To's.  I have posted a few YouTube videos on the build and will be posting a few more on the various aspects of this structure.  Links to the videos are at the end.

This is a work of art so will let the pictures do the talking. Link will take you to the pictures.  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.390538884449892.1073741852.234942163342899&type=3
