Locos - Rolling stock (general)
Can you ever have enough (or too much) rolling stock / locos?
I think that I already know the answer to this, but when Kadee announced the release of a new L&N boxcar I had to order it. When dealing with fallen flag railroads you never know when / if products will be available. It just so happens that I model the 1960's so this car built in 1952 will fit right in! Once I've leaned how to weather rolling stock (I purchased the TMTV weathering videos) and feel comfortable trying my more expensive rolling stock I'll add some weathering.
Grain Train
Now that I have assembled the various components of my grain train I need to get on the framers who appear to be dragging their feet on the construction of the elevators...
Reefer cars
Hi @ all,
I want to install on my layout a cooling warehouse. My layout has as theme the time of 1985-1995 in the southeast. Can anyone tell me which reefer car were at that time in service and which manufacturer has them?
Attaching diesel shells to the locomotive frame. Broken P2K Shell Tabs.
Hi everyone,
I bought a P2K SD9 that runs and looks great, but when I bought it, all of the plastic tabs on the shell that held it in place were broke. The shell slides on just fine but is not attached to the frame at all. Have any of you run into this issue with P2K locomotives and if so, what were your solutions to it? Is there a way to keep the shell on while maintaining access to the motor?
Thanks.

Ambroid Caboose build
I got a vintage Ambroid Outside Braced Caboose kit a few weeks ago, and started braving the project. It will be an intermittent thing, spaced among other projects, as I don’t need the caboose in a hurry—but I got it at a great price—under $10.
Passenger coaches
Hi all.
I really struggle sometimes with the rolling stock, but I trust on MRH forum to get some needed help ! :) :)
So, I have a desire to have two or three heavyweight passenger coaches, to make them run on the layout with Lehigh and New England steamer I have. Although my layout is in 1980, I am applying rulle #1 - "It's my layout", and I want to have fun with it.
I have been searching on eBay but with no luck.
Who makes nice heavyweight coaches in H0? What RR companies can I use to be more "correct"?
