[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Sante Fe 4-8-4 If your looking for rolling stock look on ebay. [/quote] I like to support my LHS as much as possible. They carry a lot of Red Caboose cars, and I wouldn't mind buying a few undec. 10' 6" boxcars from them and painting the origanal Mineral Red with script slogans. I'd also like to get a couple of AMB 4 window waycars, they're made in St. Louis, MO, while the Walthers cabooses are made in China[xx(] By that time I'll hopefully be pretty good at custom painting and kit building so I'll try the resin cars since Sunshine has quite a few Burlington models. BTW, remember, I'm also modeling the Wabash, which I could get some Branchline boxcars for since it will only be modeled as a secondary road passing thru town. I also plan to use DCC, and believe I will get the Digitrax Zephyr (what a nice name to power a CB&Q themed layout with![:D]) ANd use TCS or Digitrax decoders, eventually stepping up to Soundtraxx decoders. I plan to buy a Life-Like 0-6-0 to switch the yard, and to have a good-looking, close to the prototype steamer. (I don't care for Bachmann, they don't make any Q prtotoypes anyway) And CB&Q Guy, one of my freinds is going to detassle corn this summer, so the age limit for that isn't 16. (he's 14) He's going to make $500 a week doing this[:0] At that rate, I could buy brass! Maybe next summer I'll do that, this summer I'll probably put up hay a lot, my dad knows quite a few farmers. (I actually wish I lived in a farm, that way I could watch KCS work the grain elevators uptown during the grain rush!) Well, "see" ya'll later, until you ask anymore questions or give tips to me.
