My NTS haul
Just got back from the Atlanta show. It was my first NTS and it was awesome! I even met Joe Fugate, his wife, and Les Halmos. As always at train shows, I scoured the dealer tables for freight cars on my want list. I was able to find some scarce ones that I needed, plus some that were too cool to pass up. If my upload worked, the attached video was shot on my HO Shasta Route layout showing my haul. Pretty much blew the hobby budget for a couple months at least (haven't assessed the complete damage yet). Also got some other books and misc trinkets.
Locomotive identification help needed
Since I came back to this hobby after a hiatus, I been paying attention to more train spotting. No comes the question. Is there a "cheat sheet" or something I can use easily on my phone to help me identify the locomotives. If I had something I could use to help me identify them easier, it would make this alot better. I don't want to carry a book around with pictures, or cards. My phone is with me all the time now and if I had an app or something I could refer to, that would make it better.
Structure models from photos
I'd like to try to scratchbuild building from photos. Can anyone provide me a step-by-step on how to do this?
Thanks!
