Trains & Cycling
I've noticed a few posts from those who seem to enjoy cycling and trains. Having returned from the regular group ride with the "boys" I wondered how many of us share this passion as well.
As an introduction, I commute to work on my bicycle a distance of 17 miles 3-4 times a week. My rides are recorded on a site called Strava where friends share their rides in a community forum not unlike MRH.
Tis the season to revisit sessions on Stonehammer
I have no idea how to switch prototypically, but I winged it so to speak hoping for some feedback. Keep in mind, my steam locos have no functioning front couple, which is something I have to address some day.

Weathering of rolling stock - EASY, Low cost & Reversible
Hi!
I visited a friend of mine who´s got his entire rolling stock weathered using a very simple and low cost routine. I kind of figure that it´s a really good routine to get started on weathering.

Checking in
Checking in from Belleview Florida. This is my first chance to get online, still no power. Unable to do any modeling, but by plugging in my laptap to the generator I was able to watch Mike Confalone videos. Life is slowly starting to return to normal even though Duke says they wont have our power on til Sunday.

SP Commuter Cars
Does anyone know of a model that was/is produced of these passenger cars shown below.

Another hobby shop closes
A hobby shop I used to visit after going to a train show in Hamburg, New York has closed it's doors. Sad to see it go. BTW anybody have $85,000 for the caboose that sits in front of the store?
