Hello Folks,

We're looking to produce a ready to run tank car for our next venture in the exciting world of TT scale. A 16,000 gallon funnel flow tanker seems to be just the right fit. Popular enough to have been throughout North America, carried a number of commodities, well sized for smaller TT layouts and has a nice modern appearance for "the new TT".  However, other than what Walthers says about them I don't know much else.

The Age of Steam has an update of it's facilities. David Kloke’s stunningly beautiful, home-built 4-4-0 Leviathan is pictured here. It was built with modern materials.

Just wanted to pass on a couple different tool caddies that I made.  

The second one is the one I stuck with and use daily, the first design was a stepping stone to get to the second.

I did like that the first one had a place for glue, that idea didn't work so well with the second.   First one had it's problems too.

In the process of doing a lot of locomotive and rolling stock detailing, I'm accumulating quite a few of the small #61-#80 drill bits. Other than the ubiquitous circular plastic stand that holds one of each size, how do others organize the plethora of little bits? I find the circular stand problematic because it's easy to either stab one's self, or alternatively, to bend one of the nearby bits. So far I haven't actually broken any, and I suppose I can survive this, but if others have better techniques, I'd love to hear about it.
