Well, here we are - The Sunset North Eastern roster in all its glory!
 

I did place the red laser printed decals on the locos and cabooses but, as I was warned by Bill Brillinger, the grey showed through. So, I took his advice and had him rustle up some white ALPS printed decals to place under a second set of red ones. This should solve the problem.

I am in the process of doing this and have all of the existing red decals overlayed with the new white ones.

Here is a photo.
 

Among other ongoing projects, I decided to add a culvert in the Greasewood Draw scene.  It's not done yet, but let's see what's happening...

Hey;

In the current issue of MRH, I've been quoted. Look for the article on pages 86-87.

Neat.

If only I could paint a loco that fast.

It has been a while since I updated the progress made with the spline helix so here is where I am now. 11 November. Added Oval Helix Virtual Grade estimations/calculations used for this project.

Well I figured I'm far enough along now that i should just start my own blog. To start with, I'm a newbie. this will be my first real layout. I had started building a 4' X 8' layout with no real direction or help and soon found myself in way over my head. Then a buddy showed me this site and I've learned a lot. So thanks to all who have helped me, even if you didn't know you were helping.
