Distant Signal Productions is a great railfan source. Danny Harmon does a remarkable job illustrating how railroads run.  At times he uses a drone for getting shots like this.  More important is his articulate narration of operations.

I have installed KA3 KEep Alive circuits from TCS in several BLI SW7s. These are older models and the QSI circuit board is marked (c) 2003 QSI Quantum.

Hi all - Just throwing this out there in the hope someone can help.

I'm waiting on a couple of Island Model Works Silverliner IV kits, really looking forward to starting on what promises to be a great little project. Should keep me going until Christmas...

Does anyone have, or know where I can get, a good quality overhead prototype photo of the Silverliner IV pantograph setup? I've pretty much exhausted Google images with no luck, for the first time ever.

Recently I exhausted my supply of Floquil boxcar red.  I tried using Scalecoat 1 on a wood model. Although Scalecoat 1 on brass models gives beautiful results, I am disappointed with the resultant finish when used on wood.  I won't use it on wood again.  Floquil gave gorgeous results on wood surfaces, even when brushed on, and I would like to continue duplicating such fine results.  Has anyone found a reasonable substitute for Floquil?
