Locos and rolling stock

Has anyone done any Boulder Valley Models kits?

Ever since I saw the Boulder Valley models website, I've been toying with the idea of making a small On30 scene--I love the centercab http://bouldervalleymodels.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&... and think it would be fun to build.  Since I have a stash of 44-tonners in HO, I have a mechanism handy.  Anyone done this or any other of their kits?

Walthers Mailline vs Trainline

I was looking at an Amtrak F40PH and noticed that there was a big price difference between the two as the Trainline was like half the price of the Mainline.  Does anybody know what the differences are or is it just the detailing of the loco?

Thanks.

Slides to pictures

Slides to Pictures, when I came to the US (AZ) in 83 I took a lot of slides around the Phoenix / Flagstaff area.

In Phoenix it was Locomotives in Flagstaff it was Trains, what is the best way to process those into usable pictures.

Holiday trains

I had a request for some pics of my Grim Reaper special, so I thought I'd start a thread of holiday trains.  Samhain, Yule, Thanksgiving, Christmas, whatever...post 'em if you've got 'em.  (But be careful if you post a Beltane pic...)

I need a picture of D&H U33c 751-753

I am modeling the former EL U33c's that D&H HURRIEDLY repainted, by covering the maroon with blue and pattching out the heralds. I have many good shots of the locos, but none of the rear, so I don't know what was done there. I know the rear remained yellow, but, don't know if or what herald was applied. Can anybody help?

Has anyone replicated diesel wheel sets?

I've seen lots of car wheel sets sitting out on layouts but was curious if anyone had ever replicated diesel wheels, with the gear to the side.

HSP46

Seeing the MBTA here in New England is starting to run these, does anyone know if any manufacture is creating these in HO Scale?  I would like to add one of these to my roster.

Thanks
