I tried editing the photo again. This time I manually focus stacked it and it came out lots better. Photoshop tried to blend some of the sky...
Something I've wanted to see in miniature for a long time, an SD40-2 at the head of a long string of Trinity 4750 hoppers. A view I remember when...
No, they don't add up like that. I don't know what gross weight (car weight plus load weight) that particular car should have but for modern...
This past week dropped our daughter off at college for her Junior year. Cajon Pass was sort of on the way home so stopped by Hill 582. It was...
I've been modeling the MRL for about 30 years. By default, that is mostly modeling the BN in Montana. Here is my latest MRL loco, SDP40-2XR...
Railmix, Charlie's layout and operation is very well thought out. I think it was in one of the MR Railroad Planning annuals but I don't know...
I've been helping Charlie on his layout for a few years but it's not mine! Yours truly as Bigfoot, laughing at the poor tracking and pickup. I...
About 15 years ago I bought a Northern Pacific A5 at an estate sale. It was a Daiyoung from 1983, according to the googles and had a broken gear...
I was out in the Gorge yesterday, near Hood River, Oregon and saw this view and hoped a train would come, [ATTACH] It didn't of course until I...

While in Arizona earlier this month, I stopped by the Tucson cam with a sign for the crew back at work, basically, quit watching YouTube and get...
I was watching the Ft Madison camera waiting for #4 and it never came. I found a live feed from a KMBC news helicopter and it was clear it wasn't...
I used to work at a shop that used lacquer paints. Often they would be dried up but adding lacquer thinner and lots of mixing would bring them...
Enamels always take a bit to dry, I try to give Floquil a couple days at least. It can be quicker if dried with heat.
It's not North America, but I have been watching this camera some. I have seen 6 trains at once, all moving. In the few minutes there are no...
Another in the series with BN 5529. Here it leads a train under the loadout. The loadout is one of my longest running projects, started before...
Just as, if not more, important is surface prep. Clean the surface with alcohol or other degreaser. Since it will be just a mechanical bond,...
If you click on the number under the little trophy icon in your author's block next to one of your posts, you can see how many trophies you have....
