You better be excited to see the painted WRS units. I'm just waiting on the roadname decals, but they're completely painted, and the nose stripes have been added.

Well I'm ticked.
On ebay there was a C30-7 and 2 SD40-2s all with QSI sound/DCC on ebay. Unfortunately, they both went well over 220 bucks. Guess I'll give trainworld a call to see if they have any of the C30-7s left, I called a few days ago any they were out of SD40-2s.... Curse limited production..... The search goes on for those units.

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.
WCfanTrainManTy I know what the secret decals are! But I can't say... Awww, who ruined the surprise?

Well, between soccer, school, and my girlfirend, I've managed to do two things:
A) design new SCRail paint schemes
B) completly change, yet again, my layout idea (this time using my 4x8 table, which will MAJORLY simplify benchwork (it's all built and completely movable)
And on that note, I will post the two paint schemes, and will at some layter date fill y'all in on the next layout (when I've got it all planned out, etc. (got the mainline planed, but probably going to add a small yard and maybe an industrial area (MAYBE!!) that will be added after my next b-day)
Geep/SD standard cab scheme (GE units will have the entire short hood painted blue)
[images posted w/ permission of auuthor and MR forum (7/18/08)]
And on the Alco scheme, there aren't battery boxes on the rs-1, so they will most likely be painted white on all Alco units.
And I will shut up about my layout plan changes (proably change # 2 dozen or so, lol)
Not exactly...
My preferred travel is a 10 minute walk, 20 minute bus ride, 40 minute train ride, and 30 minute car ride.
The other choice is a 15 minute bus ride, 30 minute subway ride, 105 minute train ride, and 15-20 minute car ride.
Depending on how long his mom feels like driving its either 100 minutes, or 165-170 minutes...
TrainManTy I've been planning my first operating session... And trying not to get overwhelmed... I need to come up with a list of special instructions... "Under no circumstances, DO NOT shove more than 8 cars around the 22" radius curve at the foot of the east slope!"

You and GG, must live pretty close together, I don't know of ANYONE who lives near me and is in to model railroading. So, usually, if I run trains, it's by myself. Now, I just thought of my dad, he's into O gauge, but maybe if I get a layout built for two operators, he may just have sympathy on his son. I haven't had a chance to go into the club in town, not old enough. So, you guys are LUCKY.

Now why would that be?
I can't wait to put your WRS units on the ground at West Formanek. Maybe you should assign me to the work extra. I could sit around on the carshop leads, and drink sodas, then JUMP INTO ACTION!
lol
Anyways... Tyler's decals should be here by next friday. The MSRR GP38-2s tomorrow or monday, and the RFP GP40-2s are unbeknownst to me...

19 Years old, modeling the Cowlitz, Chehalis, and Cascade Railroad of Western Washington in 1927 in 6X6 feet.
It's also what little kids cry for a lot.
I've weathered one of my 62' foot tanks. I don't have any pictures since I can't find a camera. It's an NATX one, just faded it a bit and added dust along the bottom. I didn't put any rust since it'd only be a few years old in my era.
Haven't done much to the layout recently. Or at least, anything worthy of note. I did get an engine for my younger brother's layout as well as a transfer caboose that'll go into service on the WRS with some paint touchups and handrail repairs.
EDIT:
Railfan AlexI will read the posts soon, but I guess we'll be moving soon. Already May? I thought it was still March. I hate this time of year, when you don't know if your yogurt is expired because you can't remember if MA is May or March..
I don't know why anyone would go to the bother to create a shorthand for May. Sure, Nov. is really easier than typing November, but May? It's already a three letter word!
And "MA" is shorthand for "Massachusetts" in most places... I would know!
Choo Choo!
The GP38-2s are estimated byt he sender to arrive today or tomorrow, and I believe the WRS/Secret Decals will arriving next week as well.
