Modeling a Canadian regional railway means a lot of connecting traffic from Canada's two major railways, Canadian Pacific and Canadian National.

This thread illustrates several examples of CN rolling stock, mostly custom paint jobs and some kit-bashes for service on my model railway.

I've started scenicking Casper yard.

It may not be working out very well...

After getting all the track laid in the classification area, I painted the track. That seemed to go ok for the most part:

So now it's time to work on the spaces between the tracks.

There was a rather huge train wreck in Australia yesterday. It seems the train stopped to check one of the wagons and the train left of its own accord. 268 wagons of iron  ore reached about 65 MPH before being derailed at a switch. Google Australian Train Wreck. I figure that Milt Spanton and SplitRock at least would be interested.

 A while back I purchased an antique Penn Line F-7 b-unit. As I usually body mount my kadee's  without any issues. I figured there shouldn't be an issue. Enclosed the fuel tank as both ends were open cleaned up the frame and painted it flat black. Drilled & tapped the holes for 2-56 hex fittings, clipped the trucks back into place and went to check the height, it doesn't even come close to where it's supposed to be (It's way to high). The bottom of the coupler lines up with the bottom of the door sill on an Athearn b-unit.
