Crew Call - Rolling Back the Years, Pt. 2 - NEW
“Crew Call” is a new TrainMasters TV series on operation. As a ten-year old growing up in a railway town, Bob Fallowfield could often be found down by the tracks. When it came time to build a railroad in his own basement, there was no question in his mind that it would recreate the places, trains and operations he remembers from growing up as a kid in Woodstock, Ontario. In this segment we’ll see models of some of the trains that passed through town, and sample some operations on the layout.
Crew Call - Rolling Back the Years, Pt. 1 - NEW
“Crew Call” is a new TrainMasters TV series on operation. As a ten-year old growing up in a railway town, Bob Fallowfield could often be found down by the tracks. When it came time to build a railroad in his own basement, there was no question in his mind about what he would model. He takes us on a tour of his “stomping grounds” and relates how railroading in the 1980s influences operations on the layout he is building today. Part 1 of 2.
N Scale Decal Makers
I am looking to model the Arkansas Oklahoma Railroad. I have been looking for decals to repaint a few of their locomotives. The only decals I can find as of now are some AOK decals made for a car carrier. My question is " are there any reasonably prices decal makers that could help me ? " The problem here is most of there signage has white and my understanding that makes these types of decals a monster pain to craft. Many thanks in advance for any and all help.
Revisting Navigational markers
Awhile back a fellow model railroader gave me a great idea for a way to show that my brancline terminus is a coastal one without using a lighthouse - install some navigation markers!

Clips of some high-rollers in LA and a train on the Seattle coast.
I was at the Pershing Square Station on the Purple Line 8 pm June 2, 2017 (Los Angeles CA) High-rollers were delivering some cable reels to the extending line under construction. I started to video one that came by. The ‘Dyna-electric truck stopped as one of the clips holding one of the reels slipped out of its inset. I tried to show some of the hardware they were using. Thought someone might want to model some of this-
SP over Cornelius Pass
Hi Guys, I am located in Australia and am researching locations for my soon to be started HO scale model RR.
I was originally going to model the Cascade line from Eugene to Clamath Falls. But I am unable to steal the garage for my layout. Therefore I am relegated to a small spare bedroom. I don't feel I could do the Cascade line justice in 70 Ft so I have swapped over to Cornelius Pass.
Southeast Coal (SECX) Scale test car
Looking for any information on this car. The car is a scale test car owned by Southeast Coal company that operating between Hazard, KY and Irvine, KY. I think it is a 10,000 tank car, but the dome looks larger then normal. I'm looking to model this car in HO scale so what manufacture would have a close match. Thanks for any help.
