Locos and rolling stock

My First Athearn Blue Box kit...

I'd been looking for a GN BigSkyBlue 40' Boxcar at the last couple shows, and finally found one as a Blue Box kit for a decent price.  Once I got it home and looked at the instructions, I noticed that the weight is supposed to be put outside on the bottom of the car...  Really?   Yeah, I'm going to prime and paint it if I put it down there, but was really surprised to see that..  Maybe because the doors open, it wasn't put on the inside?

N-gauge locomotive ratings--anyone know where the link is?

There was, some time ago, a link on here to a website that evaluated zillions of n-scale locomotives.  I had it bookmarked, but lost it when my computer crashed--could anyone direct me to it?  Thanks!

decal paper

Hey all,

I'm looking to custom decal my hopper fleet. I plan on making the logos/numbers on word/paint and printing them out via inkjet printer but don't know what the best decal paper to use would be... Any suggestions on what decal paper brand/places to buy? Thank you all for any suggestions!!! 

 

Detailing circus flat cars

Can anyone recommend a good book on detailing and weathering flat cars and box cars for a beginner?

I'm starting to assemble my collection of circus train and wagons I collected over 20 years ago. 

I've found articles years ago using scale wood and the like, but I cannot find any of that now.

Thank You

Dave
