Locomotive maintenance schedule
Who has a spreadsheet, written schedule or material they are willing to share to set up a maintenance schedule for brass locomotives and diesel RTR's (Proto, Atlas mostly)? Units have been in storage for sometime, so I need to start with basics and then come back to do followups on a regular rotation.
Any and all comments, et cetera are appreciated in advance.

Utility Poles for the LTTX flatcar
I just received my shipment of "utility poles" for my LTTX flatcars and they are looking great.
These are custom made to exactly represent 85' and 65' utility poles. They are perfectly tapered and the correct diameter.

I am quickly gaining a greater appreciation for the hard work involved in the craft of film making... perhaps it is time for a proper lesson or two before I subject you to any more of this...
Blackstone Models website out of date?
Just visited the Blackstone Models website, hoping to get an update on the deliveries dates for the K-28s and K-36s. I noticed the site's not been updated since Dec. 7, 2015.
Without trying to sounding alarmist, five months is eons in term of a business not updating its website. Blackstone maintains a presence on Facebook and Twitters I gather. I don't waste my time at shiny object "look at me" social media sites, so I'm assuming Blackstone is still a going concern.
FICT Numbering ideas...
I'm looking for feedback on a numbering theme for my narrow gauge railroad. Right now, This is the numbering theme I'm going with, but I could use some feedback on whether this will work:
01-15: 2-axle (0-B-0) electric freight motors (01-10 are box motors, 11-15 are newer centercabs). Current units already modeled: #12 (0-B-0 centercab motor)
16-30: 4-axle (0-B-B-0) electric freight motors (mix of box motors and centercab units, numbered by age). Current units already modeled: #18 (0-B-B-0 centercab motor)
GoPro Clip
Just learning all the ins and outs of my GoPro camera and editing software. One thing is clear, if I want to shoot more video at 1080p I'll need a new computer or a honking big external drive...

Illinois Terminal Class C locomotive rehab
I decided to pursue modeling the Illinois Terminal Railroad, an electric railroad that ran throughout central Illinois. You can find more information at the Illinois Traction Society. Therefore, my first purchase toward this end is a Suydam brass IT class C locomotive.
