This journey started innocently enough with a desire to have some custom decals printed for my HOn3 PC&N Ry, so I contacted Bill at Precision Design Company and he was able to quickly print and ship my custom decal order.

Bill’s decals are of the highest quality, they are crisp and clean and applied wonderfully. I highly recommend him and his service for custom decals.

New here. I would like to know what the general rule is for the of dummy diesel locomotives. Mine continue to derail and thinking if may need more weight. Any suggestions please.

Hi folks,

     I have three unpainted ballast cars from Bowser, should I hit them with primer before I paint them with Vallejo Model Air??

Thanks, Scott 

I'm sure we've all been there - having to get more space inside our loco shells to accommodate DCC decoders, or in my case RailPro receivers. Usually I've had to take a hacksaw, or port-a-band saw, to those white-metal weights to cut off some height to gain the space needed. Not a fun or easy process. Fortunately I've got a connection to someone with a CNC mill. The pictures & video are posted below.
