It's been a while since I updated my progress on the ore car fleet I'm building. I've been documenting their construction on my blog.  I just finished putting all of the underbody details on all of the cars. The Sylvan kit employs lots of wire and small resin parts that are combined to create the various components of the brake system. Here's a sample of what each car looks like belly-up.  They're still not finished, but I'm getting close!

Hi all, I don't know if this has been discussed before by anyone else here, but I have been looking all over the internet for information on scratch building an N scale locomotive/railcar transfer table. Unfortunately there is nothing to be found anywhere online, so I figured maybe someone here might have a suggestion or two in regards to this query. Any and all ideas are much appreciated.

thanks in advance.

I have these two USRA 0-6-0's sitting around waiting for a project. It's always dangerous when I have models without a specific project in mind.  Add to that time spent in a hotel room, waiting to be called for a train, and well..

This is what happens.  I kind of like it, actually.  I tried to make it so that it would (just) fit on an Atlas 9" turntable, in case I ever actually build this little beastie.
