Hi all,

   I was wondering if anyone knows if there's an HO scale model of the GreenBrier all-purpose 53' stack car? I've seen models of these cast in metal, but these were made some time ago. The ones I'm interested in are the cars with the trailer hitches at the ends.

   Thanks

Hey all, been a bit since I've posted stuff, but I wanted to show you guys this little guy. My mom was visiting Germany this past week, and when she returned home, of course there was also an additional cardboard box with souvenirs and gifts for the family. Among my things was something specifically tuned to my railroad interests. An old battery operated railroad lantern from the Deutche-Bahn. After getting it open, I found a ancient corroded 2.5 gold lead-acid battery. How fun!!!

Hi - I'm aware that this is one of those questions Google image search should be able to answer, but in this case my keywords don't seem to be getting me the answers I'm looking for ... as ever, the hope is that my begging threads here will lead to something good to share with you in time. 

I'm contemplating an engine house somewhere on my layout, and I'm looking for a prototype. Except I'm not sure such a prototype exists.

After scratching some buildings and doing some rolling stock kits, I've decided to set myself the challenge of building some kind of MOW stock, starting with a rtr item as a base and working from there. 

Originally I had the idea of doing a jordan spreader or russel plow, but these are beyond me at present because of the complex hydraulics on the jordan and the particular curves on the russell. They can wait a few months or years until I can do them justice.
