Okay guys, who wants to scratchbuild this?

Nah, I got my rotary plow, don't need that one. But I would like to know what you used for snow in the pic with the IC GP30.

Me, I'm still waiting on decoders for my C425s. I ordered them from 4nscale.org 3 weeks ago. I emailed them after a week of waiting, they said they were on back order but on the way. Still waiting (2 weeks after the email)......

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....

2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.

Jordan, you better keep working on that SDL39 because I want to see what it looks like when it is done!!! If that isn't motivation I don't know what is! Meanwhile, I come back here because EJ&E 663 should hopefully be on its way here now! Also I'm looking into purchasing a Belt Railway GP38-2. I don't have any Belt Railway engines yet.

I vote we get back on topic...Whistling [:-^]

I also nominate Packers#1 as official tour guide.

I've been tracklaying in the new yard, so far I've got part of the mainline in, the east yard lead, and the switch to the locomotive facility installed. Photos will becoming soon.

In the meantime, I'll post an older photo of mine to try and get back on-topic...

Actually I was planning on making a Missabe SDM AFTER my SDL39. A DME SD10 would be sweet, but first I need to find pics of DME power on the WC! Tongue [:P]

Nah, on facebook, you can control which people see your info (just your friends see your page).  So basically, you can chat w/ every1 w/o a phone lol (best thing about it for me, I hate talking on the phone).

About my name.  It was my Moms great grandpa's name.  My mom told my dad if we have a boy she is nameing it kile but spelling it like here great grandpa's name.  That about all I can say to that.

well, I consider myself not half bad (now that I downloaded RTS, lol). GG is da bomb at it though!could you translate that rough sketch to paper and email it to me (sbpackernut@gmail.com) and i'll get RTS running. BTW, here's a link for it (RTS=Right track software by Atlas):  http://www.atlasrr.com/righttrack.htm

I'll plan it for ya if you send me the sketch, tell me how big it will be, and how wide the tables will be, what shape it will be, and then I'm sure there will be some more questions lol.

I am going to do a freelance model of two coaling tower that are going to be side by side they will coal 6 locomotives at once.  If you have the "Model Railroaders guide to locomotive servicing terminals" on page 17 there is a picture of two kitbashed tichy coaling towers.  I am going to model something similar to that. Along with ash pits, water columns, and all the thing a service terminal would have except a roundhosue and turntable which I dont have room for. That is going to be my main scene.   I am trying to get a scene of a large engin terminal with out the roundhouse and turntable. Mine will be more of a "Rest Stop" for my locomotives.

I am mainly going to model C&O in the spring of 1942.  I love coal drags so that is going to be my main freight that I will pull.  I am also looking at haveing serveral large Articulated engins.

If you have any other questions I would love to answer them.

BTW I also love to waterfowl hunt.
