Yeah, I had some HO trainsets, then they kinda got out of my mind. Then I got a Bachmann Iron Duke train set, and then my N scale layout went from there.

hi, the names ethan and im 12, i modle ho and n and from time to time i set up my grandfathers railking 0 scale from the 1950's, i have very little room for my layout and im considering selling my n scale, im so limmited on space that my layout sive is 52" by 60" i have no set era, i got 5 consits for ho (well 4 1/2 i still gota get an amtrak loco) and the ear ranging from early 1900's to modern. my ho scale consists mogul and 2 heavy weights, pacific and 2 stream lined cars, 2-8-8-2 and mixed freight, (the hoppers with the cosists are way out of era), amtrak pullman standerd streamlined cars and finaly coal quad hoppers.
if you have limited space why would you sell your n scale they are smaller and thats the reason i model n is for more stuff in an amount of space.
Nice pic GG.
Welcome to TMRP. Like every one else said have fun hanging around here. It can get kind of slow here at times. But we try to keep things up-to-date.
Nice new freelaced RR Sawyer.
I got back from a two day trip to IRM, Davis Junction, and Rochelle yesterday. At Rochelle they have train shop where the park is. There was a Susise-Q (NYSQ) SD40T-2 that I was tempted to buy...could patch it up nice in the WIN....but I decided that my money needs to go else where.
I got two Rail Fan vids from Davis Junction.
This is basicaly a run by of 6 SD40s/SD40-2s shoving back to clear the junction. 3 ICE SD40-2s, and 3 DME SD40s.

This when the ICE West Bound train left. This is one of my favorite videos, next to the 3 CP SD40-2s at Portage.

(BTW ICE stands from Iowa Chicago and Eastern, and DME stands for Dakota Minnesota and Eastern.)
Tommrow I'll have the WC 7525 video up. I know many fo you have porbably heard SD40-2s. But trust me, the SD45 is way diffrent. Those 4 extra cylinders make a huge diffrence. The SD45 is deeper than the SD40-2, much deeper. You can feel it in the ground. Videos and sound recording might be nice, but they are nothing compared to being there in person. Sawyer I reccoment you have an all SD45 roster. lol, it would be worth it!

MILWAUKEE ROAD IS BACK IN THE BUILDING!
Some of you may be wondering who I am since I have been gone for so long. I am a modeler of the Northern Pacific and Milwaukee Road. I have created this thread too and am glad to see it running smoothly. I have been so busy this summer I had no time to respond to PM's and stuff of that nature. Once again I am greatly sorry.
And I am greatly sorry to my great PM buddy, WcFan. haha.
What have I been up to model railroad wise?
-building kits
-doing some switching operation with my NP SW7.
Alright, I'll shut up now and let you fellows get back to the conversation.
Once again, I am sorry and I have missed talking to you all.
GG, do you have any names for a small class 1 RR operating in maryland and all states above it, but no furthur west than Pennsylvania?
I've come up with the Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Northern
(M, P, & N)
BTW, here's the logo
I used a wash of thinned brown paint, applied heavily then wiped off with a paper towel immedietely.

Well a little reasearch has shown that BN got there B30-7s from Frisco, but they did recieve an order of C30-7 in 1976.
http://archive.trainpix.com/bn/GE/C30-7/INDEX.HTM
Wondering if the RPP C30-7 shell will fit on the Athearn UC frame.
I can't find any info regarding BN ever having B23-7s, but atlas made a model of them for some reason.
Vincent
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.

Same here. I know some ALCO, but hardly anything about GE.

It wasn't much research lol!
C-C's were probably in the same time, maybe a year or two after the B-B's. Just a guess, I don't feel like research right now...
As for the backdrop Ty, once again, it looks real good!
Now what did you weather that boxcar with?? It looks great!
