TTX Decals

Wed, 2014-12-31 10:59 — GregW66

I recently bought Extreme Load no. ONE and TWO from Precision Design Co. (pdc.ca) and I also found 2 Walthers 4 Truck depressed center flat cars, undecorated. I am having trouble finding TTX decals that are suitable for the car. I will post a picture of what I am looking for. Any help is much appreciated. Oh, and Happy New Year!

This is the C&A’s first (proper) caboose and also my first caboose kit build.

It’s a ‘musty box old’ Silver Streak kit of around ’75 vintage and went together like a dream.

I'm looking for some HO barbed wire.If it is available as fencing the height of the posts should be 5ft. or 6ft. if in the ground one foot. 4-5 strands would be good.

RAPIDO VIA CANADA F40PH-2D

Diesel locos

I received a great Christmas present this year. Rapido's True North Locomotives VIA CANADA F40PH-2D. Took it out of the box and ran it through its features. It was absolutely awesome. This locomotive is prototypically correct and has amazing detail. I have been waiting for this model for years. Enjoy. An AMTRAK version is in production from what I have heard.
