70's-80's Modeling 40' boxcars

Thu, 2018-07-05 09:41 — dssa1051
I've seen a lot of interest in the 1970's -1980's modeling period recently.  This is not my era but rather my son's era.  I have found that there is a real dilemma in modeling accurate 40' boxcars in this era. What do you do?

Never had an Accumate "explode" but it has been suggested on the Web. I was just fixing a cover that wouldn't stay on the truck.

Have a "What-I-Did" at:

Dunn International Papers

Sat, 2018-06-30 09:05 — wsor4050

Here a short clip of my paper mill layout, it’s a 10ft x 8ft U shaped switching layout. 

The paper mill comprises of three tracks and two turnouts, which the branch comprises of three track, two on the branch itself and one that leads to the paper mill. There is also a tiny MOW siding which normally houses the railroad’s crane.

I’ve cherry picked ideas for Dunn Papers at Port Huron, MI and International Papers in Biglerville, PA allowing me to have a number of different that’s of cargo arrive and depart from the mill

Rapido's new product announcements

Mon, 2018-06-25 11:48 — MRH_News_Online

During a livestream on Facebook today, Rapido announced several new products, including the Alco RS-11, MLW RS-18, and Tempo passenger cars (coach, cafe lounge, club car) in HO and the Dash 8-40CM in N scale. The RS-11 and RS-18 will come in several different versions - I think I caught that there would be six different undecorated variations available. Also shown was the packaging for the upcoming N scale Turbo train, an early paint shot of the HO Royal Hudson, and the upcoming N scale 53 foot well car.

A Simple Task Escalated Quickly

Sat, 2018-06-23 09:51 — duckdogger

While searching for etched wind deflectors/mirrors for the SP E-units, I found www.kvmodels.com located in NJ. They offer a large and varied selection of etched stainless steel parts for N and HO scales. The web site has a store and you can pay by credit card or use Pay Pal. They also are on eBay as KV Models. Lastly, the owner, Scott, is an honest to goodness real locomotive engineer plying the rails daily between western NJ and Manhattan.
