I acquired two brass SD 24s made by Hallmark models today. They are quite old and show some very mild rust or dirt on them. I would like to get them all cleaned up and painted, then add dcc sound to them. So I am looking help on where to start. I also notice that they don't have the windows or number boards with them. So I need to know where I can find them.

Any help would be appreciated

I model the New Haven RR's electrified zone. Attached is a shot of the catenary I installed on my HO Layout.

I've been working on some structures so I can get a better handle on the composition of Junction City's downtown.  Before finalizing locations of streets, parking lots and so on I wanted to make some progress on a few things.  None of this stuff is really "done" yet, as I still need to do more weathering, window glass, light baffles to block views through building interiors, and various other items.

SPLINE HELIX UPDATE: Back a few months ago, someone asked about how engines and cars would be prevented from falling off of the helix.  Originally, I thought about using cardboard or hardboard strips.  However, their use would have reduced the narrow opening between helix turns so I looked around the garage and found some left over screening (nylon or fiberglass).  I also bought some white poster board from a local office supply.
