There is another thread that has been hanging around for a very long time (just over 4 years, to be exact) called "Bowser C-636 update?". But I...
Well, it has taken an awfully long time for Bowser to get out the corrected versions. But THEY ARE OUT NOW!!! :-) Note that the left-facing model...
That is a VERY nice collection! I love the variation in the weathering. I have a set of K-27s too, but with one exception they are all Blackstone...
Too bad that most of these promising photos are no longer here!
This is a very old thread, I know. But for those who are using search engines it may still help to get some more recent update. Roco is planning...
Roco has announced a new steam engine, the S 160 USATC that came from the US to Europe after WW II. There is very little I knew about this...
I had the bodies of these three ex On30 Bachmann models painted by a local professional, asking to use Blackstone's coach colors as a guideline....

That is unless you use VERY old Märklin AC tracks. :) I could still provide some. But actually, that's not what you want. It would would look very...
Here is the more important one of the missing photos that were mentioned in the above post.
And here is a substitute for the missing photo in post #32, showing an early double-track temporary layout. I have since posted quite a few short...
This is one of many threads where some pictures got lost when TB had to be made safer. So I'm trying to add some of the lost shots that might be...
Thanks for the feedback! I might add that all the spray painting (I used enamel paint) was done with spray cans. The glossy black (excellent for...
Here is a final set of pictures of the finished CONOCO CONX 8 car. The first photo shows the detail of the shortened tank-frame clamps, now...
