Scratchbuilding N Scale Freight Cars
Hello there!
I stumbled across MRH a while ago whilst searching for information on model railroads and have since downloaded and read every issue, it is truly an inspiring magazine and - dare I say - the best available from the perspective of a modeler of the American rail scene from outside the USA!
As such I thought I would try to give back to the community who read it and see if I can maybe give someone else a little inspiration too!
Lessons Learned - Retrofitting Rail Gaps
Now that my summer project is more or less complete I was able to get back to working on the railroad and finishing out the changes that I started in spring.
Holland Furnace Co.
Phase 2:
When I started to kit bash this structure I realized that I wasn't going to be able to get the same top cornice on the new walls as the style on the kit. So I cut the top cornice off the kit walls and added my own. It is made up of two pieces of styrene, the first one added was 3/16" angle, & the second is a piece of .030" x .125" strip glued to that.

Shipping rail
I got this nice little drawing from my father-in-law in the mail the other day.
Many years ago he worked at Algoma Steel and this is his sketch on how they loaded rail.
I hope sharing this is of some interest for those who model flat loads.
Speaker Installation
I read Bruce's article and watched his video on speaker installation, but have a question. How much distortion is there thru a plastic shell of a locomotive? I am putting sound into some of our club engines (Kato, P2K, Athearn RTR and some blue boxes). Was curious about this since mounting speaker to top rear of shell would be the easiest to do for some of these engines.

Rolling Stock Modeling
Over the last quarter of the year I've had to work a lot of over time (a problem I know many would like to have) and it's kept me away from home so I haven't been able to get a lot done as far as modeling goes. I have been able to get a few structures built and was hoping to maybe get some rolling stock built and detailed this weekend.
