NKP Bluebirds
I am a "happy camper!" Just got my new NKP Bluebirds with sound from a great deal on eBay, They are MTH engines as a replacement for the old converted Athearn diesels that have a few hiccups every now and then. Now to get over to a friend's house so he can program all the electronics for bells, whistles, horns, lights etc.
First kit build attempts..
Took home two Accurail Center flow hoppers to work on today from the club meeting. As usual I forgot to take pictures (getting 6th graders to sit down and stop being grabby is harder than herding cats) with all the chaos, but here at home I got some. Overall it is a good kit but getting the detail parts in was a pain and a screwdriver/drill is a useful tool for making them larger.

EDIT: Changed name since adding more cars.
Titchy Train Reefer Build
Well I decided to tackle a Tichy Pacific Fruit Express kit. I've accumulated a couple of these from EBay buys.
The Kit looks to have quite a few parts and looks fairly detailed. So we'll see how this adventure works out.
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.

Old UTLX Prints
My Grandparents have some old items from their father who worked for UTLX. I am not sure if they will be worth anything but they are simillar to postcards though slightly larger and have different photos/printed paintings of UTLX tank cars. I believe they only were available to older staff as I can not find them anywhere online. If anyone has information on these I would greatly appreciate it (sorry not photos at this time)
