Junk Up Your Scene

I saw this photo on the Baby Boomer Freight Car Yahoo Group:

Being discussed was the B&O boxcar.  My vision was drawn to all the neat "junk" behind.

Converting a 89' Flat car into a Stella Jones log car

Here's my latest Modern Log car conversion, I hope you find it interesting:

Here in the Pacific Northwest, one of the products produced locally and shipped nationally is utility poles.  There are several types of converted or specialty built 89' log cars used for this purpose currently in service, most of them are similar to this one.

Soundtraxx Tsunami version 2

The rumor is that Soundtraxx has developed the Tsunami version 2.

Does anyone have any inside information on the size of decoder and any specs?

Naturally Soundtraxx is keeping a tight lip about it.

Hello,

 

Weathering with Mike Confalone: Project 7-CP Rail boxcar

For project 7, Mike Confalone weathers a green CP Rail boxcar. Mike focuses in-depth on weathering a boxcar roof with oils, since that part of the weathering process has not yet been covered. The rest of the car was finished previously off camera using PanPastels and techniques that have been covered in many of the other segments.

Watch it now on TrainMasters TV ....

Another pic of hatch.

This seems simple enough, but it really blew my mind ... thinking there has to be some way to use this on a model railroad?
