Locos - Rolling stock (general)
1 down – 5 to go (maybe)
A while back I was going through my freight cars in preparation for some house cleaning. I have way too many kits that will probably never be built (Athearn, Roundhouse, etc).
Anyway – I stumbled upon the six Walthers Cryogenic cars I had purchased when they were released. I got a chuckle when I saw the sticker price of $11.98.
So I pulled one out and figured I give it a go. Wanting to learn how to install details I gave this kit a try with air hoses, updated break wheel and chain, cut levers, ladders, and finally stirrups.
Truck for Tank Car N scale
What would be the correct Micro Trains truck [with coupler] for the Roundhouse 50' Modern Tank Car
[Tank Train].
Thanks

This may be old news to some of you, and it should have been obvious to me, but I never even thought about it until today.
Heavy Haulage
trying out how much a 6 truck articulated car with a 5" long payload would swing out:
Radius is only about 15", maybe a bit smaller, and even then it swings out less than an inch.
But if an inch proves too much it's fun to hook up the two units close together and just haul it to another job :-)

2013 Goals for your Railroad Modeling?
In December 2011 Rick Wade started a thread on goals for 2012. http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/6579
I thought it would be interesting to review my goals and see what I accomplished toward those goals. And also look at what I had done that wasn't included in my goals.
