So I'm cleaning up the layout room, and I realize I have a $hit ton of empty Athearn, P2K, Branchline, (the list goes on) of empty boxes for mostly my cars on the layout, but also some engines, too.

Since I'm a bit of a hoarder in the sense that I think "hmm, I may need those one day", my question to the group at large is, "Do you keep yours after you empty them?"

Joe, I just wanted to extend a big thank you to you and everyone else that works behind the scenes at MRH.

The new Running Extra magazine is great and I commend you and the rest of the folks for your very responsive problem solving for the problems that come out.

I know you folks are very busy and was wondering how things are going with the third installment of Run Like a Dream. The first two books are excellent and I have recommended them to several people. I thought other folks might like an up date besides me so I posted an entry on the forum.

These are three of mine:

Athearn flat car modified and with CNR decals.

Tichi flat car with CNR decals.

I don't know if this is a Stewart or Bowser kit.

Modeling a Canadian regional railway means a lot of connecting traffic from Canada's two major railways, Canadian Pacific and Canadian National.

This thread illustrates several examples of CP rolling stock, mostly custom paint jobs and some kit-bashes for service on my model railway.
