Hummm, I'll have to think about them. Or maybe WIN doesn't need a slogan, lol, WC never had a slogan.

Nice, GBW was all Alco too, untill they merged with the FRV and then got bought out by the WC. Now most of the GBW Alcos are on shortlines. It's sad to see short lines like that go down the hole. Sounds like is was a nice RR though at one time. It's also nice to see one is being restored.

Alcos, I can just smell them...lol.

Humm, Route of the Pack doesn't sound to bad....

Ok LAST and FINAL map. If it isn't you can blame it on Robby. But now we picked up the old IC line to Munger, and the old IC yard just a tad east of Hawthorne, Crawford. So We have the old IC Iowa Line form Munger-Crawford. We also picked up the old GTW From Eldson Yard-Blue Island. So Now I don't need trackage Rights over the IHB, just over the BNSF. Now I will go and mess my self in with Sub Division Names and Train Names/Destinations.

I should really make a web site for this RR so I can keep track of everything! lol.

No! Websites eat up too much time! Trust me, I do it for our club, and it isn't even that great. It takes a ton of time. www.wimrc.ca

Jordan, you're busted, you think you can blame the map on me? You're the running the WIN, so I'm not liable in any way what so ever, LOL, another random joke! I figured I'd come off TRP and invade TMRP for a change! See TRP for the slogan I thought of.

I had 6 generations of EJ&E power running today, with SD38-2 665 in the J-Ball scheme, 668 in the Bicentennial scheme, a SD9, a RS3, a SW1200 in the brown paint, and a NW2 in the green over orange scheme together. I've got quite a extensive EJ&E collection, I'm sure everyone is shocked about that! Now I need to get my hands on a Baldwin in the black paint and if these ever come out, a Centercan and a chevron SD38-2. I've even got a custom built chop nosed SD18, EJ&E 852, one of the now retired former B&LE engines.

Believe me, I'm interested in creating my own website, I was a admin for CTRG and USRG before that site went downhill pretty quickly, I'd do it all again if I could! I'd also like to open up a photo gallery showcasing photos throughout the midwest, where anyone could upload them, both real and model! That's my ultimate goal for around here.

Thanks for the compliment. I've thrown my passenger station on there, so I should get a pic of that.

I got a sheet of decals in the mail today! If anyone needs custom decals, I highly recomend talking to "pike-62" since he does an excellent job!

Looks good! I thought for sure you would need an airbrush for that, but it looks just fine hand painted like that. Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup]

Your repaints look nice! The scenery is also nice too. I like how the tracks are like with the ground. Makes me feel like it's on old Branch line. Freight Station? What freight station? Wink [;)]

Put this in Weekend Photo Fun already, but I'll bump here, too. I finally got around to painting some of my figures, since I kinda need conductors to keep the railroad running.

Great Vids GG. I Found the DRG&W one more interesting, but that's just because that's the power I like. Don't get me wrong though, they where both interesting.

BTW: That last Clip in the DRG&W vid, at 3.13, a piece of cattel had gotten ran over, that's why they stopped...Whistling [:-^]

Model Master has good paint. I used their rust color on this project:

All the painting was done by dry brushing. No air brush was used.

They stock most major detail parts manufacturers...
