Typical the thread gets shut down. Since a vocal small aspect don’t like it.
ProtoThrottle unboxing
One of our customers, Jared Seliger, posted a nice video showing the ProtoThrottle being unboxed and setup:

How difficult are LaBelle kits
I see some interesting prototypes in the LaBelle wooden kit line, and am contemplating building one or more of their passenger cars, or perhaps an interurban.
I've built a bunch of Tichy ore cars, and an Ambroid caboose; those are the most challenging models that I've done. How much, if any, more difficult are these?
Shopping trip turned into a train fiesta of a day
Yesterday my wife suggested we go on a little road trip to Edmundston, NB. She wanted to shop and to entice me suggested a stop in New Denmark, NB to see the Salmon River Trestle. That is a CN high steel trestle that is spectacular. We had seen it years ago. I decided to do a google search to see what else might be in the area and tripped on to Du Real Au Miniature. From Real to Miniature, a railroad interpretation centre. The highlight, for me, was the 900 square foot layout in Guy's basement. I've posted the story with pics.
Help finding YouTube videos
If anyone knows of any railroad YouTube videos of cars up close moving slow and creating flange squeal, I would appreciate the links.

serve in Vietnam and was a model railroader at that time?
Has anyone ever made the correct windows for a CNR wooden caboose?
I ask this because neither does the brass models made by Van Hobbies/Samhongsa nor the True Line Trains models of the CNR wood caboose are "bang on" in regards to their side windows.
I've yet come across a VH brass CNR caboose that didn't have the windows a tad askew or in upside down compared to the next one like in this shot.
Such crude looking windows compared to the rest of the model:
