Some finishing touches to existing L&T Structures...

Well today I decided to start finishing off some of the structures that are just about completed on the L&T Branch.

First project was to install and paint the awning that sits over the loading dock of the storage warehouse.

D&D Mining & Steel 2-8-0 Locomotive

Mon, 2013-08-19 15:37 — don_csx

Seen pictures of a steam loco still working a a steel mill in 1979 and I am modeling mainly between 70s and 80s. I figured I would do a steam loco for my mill. The paint scheme is copied from a small railroad company in Eastern KY called Morehead and North Fork. The model started out as a Bachmann Southern locomotive. I still have to weather it but here is a picture of the locomotive fresh out of the paint shop.

Resource for identifying what types of rolling stock and motive power were used on the Prototype?

Mon, 2013-08-19 12:47 — WANDRR

Not being a lifelong rail modeler, I don't have the same knowledge base that I do for most things aviation related.  I recently picked up 'The Contemporary Diesel Spotter's Guide' on Amazon to help me identify the more modern diesels that might have been in use on my (eventual) Conrail line in Northeastern Indiana.

Has there been any articles on converting DCS locomotives to DCC? I thing I remember one within the last two years. It may not have been in MRH.
