I bought the new Broadway Limited Imports Southern Pacific RSD-15 locomotive.  It has some accuracy issues as far as duplicating the prototype, and I knew that before buying it, but I feel it is a good quality locomotive. 

Hello to all!

I would like to show you and to explain what I've done with a Atlas tank car. This tank has two lives.

To begin, I've bought a Atlas Trainman 8000 gals tank car there is a little more than 10 years ago.

I used the tank to scratchbuild a 1918 US imported tank car for the french railroads. The tank was too long (just a few millimeters). So I've cut down it to obtain the good size.

I'm guessing not many of you will be interested in Australian locomotives, but due to the fact I grew up in Victoria and have taken trips on this small loco I couldn't resist buying it!

Australian loco's and rolling stock, the ready to run stuff, have always been a step behind the American trains but I think we are finally catching up. I recently saw an Australian model in a MR mag which is quite rare!

I was walking to the library with Christine. We have to cross the BNSF tracks through Longmont, CO, to get there. I wanted to record a train at a grade crossing as a ringtone for my phone. Well, today there was a train approaching as we crossed the tracks. So I got out my phone and used the video to capture the sounds. I wasn't really looking at the train as it approached. I didn't see what it was until I was recording, The video is not the best because I really wasn't thinking "video" when I started. It was an interesting very short train.
