Hello guys! I made a new topic (my previous was "Layout from Slovenia") for my layout Wausau and Western - a MILW Subsidiary, 1950-1959. It is a freelance layout, my imagination. I've been modeling on the layout for the last 5, 6 months and here I have the result. The structures are kits (Downtown Deco and Monster Modelworks) or my scratch built projects. All the conifers I made by myself using different kinds of techniques. The deciduous trees are natural material (Super Trees).

AK Interactive is a well known brand of modeling supplies, mostly paints and similar products, such as weathering washes, pigments and filters. Although mainly focused on military modelers it recently made some inroads into model railroading, with 2 sets of weathering products, one for locomotives and other for railcars.

It also published a book, named "trainspotting" to address the needs of model railroaders and military modelers wishing to depict a railroad scene (there are several static models of European trains, in 1:35, 1:72 and 1:87).

Folks, I am looking for some help. I freely admit I am not too smart on trains and such and I have stumbled upon the GP40-2LW that has been used by the KCS via the CN. I would like to create a pair of these locomotives for my layout. I have looked here and I couldn't find a post about this possible kitbash or I just plain missed it and if so I apologize. I understand I will probably have to use a GP40-2 as a base but I am at an utter loss as to what cab/hood I might have to dig up/create for this monsta'.

I was down in West Linncott and shot these two Hew Haven boxcars standing there. I always liked the large script logo used on these cars at that time. Here we find a Pullman Standard PS-1 on the left and an AAR 1937 car on the right.
