Often I find a photo that inspires me to try to create a similiar scene on the Leetown Division---here's a picture from an unknown photographer that I have tried to use as an example.

  All you Amazon shoppers...
Posted by: FiatFan - 06-22-2023, 09:21 PM - Forum: Lower Berth - Replies (8)

Just saw a new (to me anyway) attempt at a scam.  Got an e-mail supposedly from Amazon saying I needed to sign in.  Interestingly enough a half hour earlier I had received an e-mail from Amazon telling me my order had shipped. 

The clue?  The bogus sender was amazon with a lower case.  If I had not had an e-mail from the real Amazon I might not have noticed it.

Beware!!! They are out to get you!

  Hobby vaccuum? Sure....
Posted by: TMo - 06-15-2023, 06:51 PM - Forum: Tools - Replies (2)

I've been a bit irritated by the amount of leafy refuse that's been falling off my trees and shrubs and ending up on the roads of White Haven.  I thought about buying a hobby vac, but never ran into one that I thought was work the expenditure and still has the ability to extend into arm-deep scenery.

What I really decided I wanted was the power of my shop vac with a small, semi-rigid snout that I could extend.  Rummaged through my workshop and found some discarded water supply line.  Stuck it in the Shop Vac, applied the painter's tape.  Tried it out, and works like a charm.

  June 6, 1944- Operation Overlord.
Posted by: ezdays - 06-06-2023, 08:36 AM - Forum: Lower Berth - Replies (1)

Most of you won't remember that day, I do, I was 10 at the time. The largest invasion ever and it turned the tide for WWII, D-Day, the Normandy invasion. Please, take knee, say a prayer, ask God that we never have to do that again. Please don't ever forget the sacrifice that all those men made so that we have the freedoms we have today. I doubt that I would have made it to 11 had they not done what they did, that's just the way it was, they went "over there" so that the Nazis and Japs didn't come over here. I am eternally grateful and hope you are as well... Worship Worship Worship Worship

Question CN passenger cars - suggestions on old kits
Posted by: BR60103 - 06-02-2023, 07:33 PM - Forum: HO Modeling - Replies (4)

I just dug out a couple of old E&B Valley coach kits. I can sort of tell how old by the name of the hobby shop.
They're both painted CNR green and black. It's a really good looking finish.
However, one is a 4-4-2 sleeper and the other is a 56-seat coach.  As far as I can tell, CN never had either.
I am looking for suggestions for a name for the sleeper and a number for the coach. I would like both to be fictitious. The coach looks as if it would be comfortable in the 5400 series, but I wouldn't want to put a real number on it. 

Construction is going slowly. It must have been started between 30 and 40 years ago and some of the glue joints have separated (only the trucks were done) and one of the floors is bent.

I can't post pictures as the computer won't talk to the SD chip.
