I was thinking about eras today, particularity what has changed over the past 20 years.  Not to be a curmudgeon, but I don’t have a lot of love for the Class 1’s over the past few years.  To me there’s not many interesting things that would inspire me to model 2015+.  The Class 1’s and their paint schemes haven’t changed much over the past 15 years and even the NS heritage program is nearing the 10-year mark.  The the oldest SD70ACE/-2’s and GE ES’s are now 15+.

Looking at creating a layout based around the 1860s era and use of Civil War  trains....hard to find Civil War soldiers in 1/87th, how bad would it look with 1/72 figures....6 footers everywhere?

Thanks 

What would the best color to use for aged corrugated sheet metal?

I have been on a bit of a Hiatus on Building my Monster layout and making Monster Videos on Youtube but I am slowly getting back to working on projects and building the layout.  So I am sharing my latest Video which gives you an update about what I have done so far, why I have been absent including how I took a Trip to Las Vegas to appear on the TV Show Pawn Stars, Sadly dealing with the death of my loving mother on October 4th and How I have been promoted to Lieutenant in the Fire Dept on July 31, 2020.  Thanks for the kind messages I have received on FB and my private email!&nbs
