Arnold N Pacific Rebuild and Paint

Sat, 2012-03-17 20:57 — MarkSplus10

Trying to upload a picture of my Arnold Pacific I just finished rebuilding.  I must be uploading pictures the wrong way because this has been very difficult.  Does the site have a tutorial on uploading pictures?  Have fun, Mark.

Is the Aztek A480 Airbrush Set a good set for model railroaders

Sat, 2012-03-17 15:40 — kryslja

I am rather new at model railroading and would like to get into weathering cars, for which you need a airbrush. I wanted to know if the Aztek A480 Airbrush Set is a good airbrush for this? 

Thanks in advance

Cotton Belt F unit

To All: One of the railroads on the E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout is the Cotton Belt. The Blue Streak Merchandise is  the premier train that ran on the prototype Cotton Belt , so is it on the layout. This train carried time sensitive auto parts and LCL freight. I painted, lettered, weathered and dullcoated this shell for use on a Proto 2000 chassis,  to pull the BSM. After this pix was taken I installed window glass, grab irons, couplers, cut bars, etc.

New Speaker

Guys,

We got new speaker samples, they work awesome!  Still a very crystal clear sound but we've been able to revise the casing so they are smaller.

They are 37 MM X 14 MM X 10 MM.

They are available for order now.

MEC #52 Fresh out of the paint shops at Waterville, Maine.  Nice to see that they are painting some locomotives in the old colors.  Sorry the picture isn't all that clear but it is very overcast here today and was raining at the time I took this photo with my cell phone.

Prototypical return loop BLOB

Thu, 2012-03-15 17:06 — rwproctor

I was bored and didnt feel like getting frustrated at my layout tonight, and I was fooling around with Google Earth, and found this pretty much in my backyard (actually 20 minutes north of me). It is a coal loading facility at Curtis Bay. it is served by CSX. So here is a prototypical answer to your turn back blobs.
