Diesel locos
Diesel Locomotuve Weathering - Fire
I've been searching the internet for photos from modelers that have weathered a diesel as if it had caught on fire. You see this all the time in real life, but I haven't seen where anyone have effectively modeled a locomotive this way.
Any examples out there?
Atlas N Scale SD-24 Problem Solved!
I need some help.
My Atlas n scale SD-24 (factory equipped DCC) loses power to the front truck intermittently. The issue just started today. It's been running fine for months, and I've made no recent changes to my track.
All other locos and rolling stock are running fine on my track.
I took it apart to see what I could see, and all looks good, although this is the first Atlas I've taken apart. As a matter of fact, the only other engine I've had open was a Kato P42 I put a TCS decoder in.

CP SW1200RS project
After many hours of work, I was able to contribute a pair of CP SW1200RS units to the Sudbury fleet of locomotives on the WRMRC. 8152 and 8159 proved themselves on the Espanola Turn at last Saturday's operating session.
The models were built from resin shells by Point 1, reworked frames and drives from P2K SW9s, Athearn flexicoil sideframes, NWSL wheels, and an assortment of detail parts.
Lights on Athearn RTR GP40
I recently purchased a pair of Athearn RTR GP40's to run in consist on my Oregon Pass RR. I also purchased a pair of Tsunami TSU-AT1000 digital sound decoders. It seams that there are no sound decoders that will directly plug into the Athearn engine. HINT!
Kingstone Locomotive Works receives two engines for rebuild
Was surfing E-bay and came across two items I keep looking for.
First, another calf for the mother cow and her first calf. I now have a heard.
This engine set will be driven by Hobbytown drives. The first calf has a Hobbytown drive that was designed for the Athearn SW series switchers way back.
The second calf will get a custom built frame with Hobbytown drive components.
Follow up results video.
I had posted this video kind of an afterthought the other day and I think it just got lost in the mix. It really didn't explain my thought process on how I achieved these results so I decided to make a full "how To" after I had already done this locomotive. This is just a short 2 min video showing just how well the older BB locos can run.
