Buying Locos with Sound

Sat, 2013-06-22 12:26 — locobreath

Hi fellas:

I'm primarily a model builder and do not have a layout. I do have a few engines (DC) that I occasionally run on some track and enjoy tinkering with them. After watching many YT videos of the DCC trains with sound I am considering buying one or two diesels and getting a starter DCC control system. Maybe even put up a small permanent switching layout.

I saw this in one of your recent issues and sent for it.

It sure makes it easier to do my maintenance on my engines.

This purchase was certainly one of my better ideaa for my layout equipment.I

Building resin freight car kits

Tue, 2013-06-18 07:23 — Eric H.

I've been building HO scale resin freight car kits recently. Since April 29, nine have been assembled and ready for the paint shop. Additionally, three Tichy and two Accurail kits were upgraded. More details and images are shared on my blog.

Additional kit builds will be shared in the next few weeks on the blog. And sometime soon I'll need to get the paint booth in order!

In some way this is a tank car too:

These two tanks are made as a 3D-print; they are also useable for a chemical industry or similar ...

The loads have to be removable for FREMO-like operations.
