There are 108 mixed Freight Cars after the 4 engines, then a BNSF AC4400CW #5624 and lastly a BNSF SD70MAC #9482.

Anyone know what the solver boxes are on the roof of this geep just ahead of the dynamic brake?

My first thought was some kind of extra air filter, considering this is a mining locomotive.

Hi All:
Has anyone made any purchases from UPbids.net ????
They look to be fairly new and I was most specifically interested in some of the "people" they have.
Any input would be appreciated.
I am also placing this thread in the "Swap Meet"; I hope this is ok.

Hi Guys, i have the following structure for sale. Newly built and out of the paint shop. This is a Walthers Cornerstone Series ADM Grain Elevator with an extra 8 silos added on to create a longer silo structure. It is lettered for King Midas Flour.

The main structure was painted white with gray doors and rooftop machinery. The silos have been also sprayed gray and the conveyor housing is white.

The silos structure has a front and a back, by this i mean, how it shows in the pic is how the front must face with the other side facing a wall. This was not one of my better builds on the Walthers Silos. Because i took silos from other projects to create this, it meant that the parts did not fit together perfectly like a new kit, this meant i had to make one good side, so i did my best and it came out just okay. but the silos have to be positioned with the side with the sign facing out and cannot be turned around. I would not suggest putting this structure where you are going to be able to see the back of the silo structure to much, just because it is pretty poor construction.... See the pictures below, the one with an overhead shows some of the poor construction on the back side of the silo structure....

Other then what i just described above, this elevator is pretty well built, and i even sanded down any glue marks that may have oozed out and then repainted the areas.... All in all, im happy with this structure and i wish i could keep it but i dont have a use for it lol

If your interested, please post here or PM me. The price is set at $44.95 plus shipping. Shipping might get a little expensive, but im thinking that it will not be more then $20 to ship it across the US in a big enough box packed carefully. Im offering this to forum members first, if i dont get any interest in it from someone, ill post it on e-bay in a few days.....

Here are some pics:

How many here are going to the Lindsay Train show on April 4-5?
I will be there, but not with the shop.
I will be at the NMRA modellers corner.
I will have the 60cm x 90cm mini layout that normally resides in the shop, going to do some touch ups on it.
Also I will have my latest build for the CVR on hand, I will be taking 2 Cheltenham Stations and bashing them into an L-shaped factory building.
This will be going on the CVR between Forks and Cataract.

If you are coming, please drop by and say hello.

A short time ago I bought a 50’ Roundhouse/Athearn passenger car of Overland series. I would like to make an addition to an existing Virginia & Truckee RR. historic passenger train with a Bachman 4-4-0 and three cars made by Rivarossi. Ok. These models are not the best and not the most detailed models but this train should run as a really historic passenger train while our exhibitions.
I have seen a few pictures of similar trains in the book “History of Virginia & Truckee” picturing all V&T’s passenger cars and one of them #18 is very close to the new model – with the need to modify a good number of details. Look here a picture of the original car. Many years ago this car #18 was rebuilt to a combine however I will use it with the original version as coach as is was built in 1890.

The most remarkable difference is the more modern roof of the original model …





… and there I did make a radically change - the roof ends are cut off.



Preparations for new roof ends ...









… and building the new roof ends step by step from a plywood basic and styrene sheeting.



The roof ends are finished however now I will like to change, replace and add ten or fifteen more parts before I can give the model a new color scheme and lettering for the V&T RR.

Took a small trip last Saturday with my son to check out an old DL&W bridge near our home. I don't know if the bridge has a name or is known by a mile marker # ,but a cool structure none the less. NJ transit has talked about reactivating the line for years now but no real work as of yet.    
All of the pics were from the PA side of the Delaware river looking towards NJ.    
I think the rail passing under the bridge is also DL&W, not sure maybe a Lackawanna fan could clarify this.
