Video of my custom Built VIA Rail F40PH-2 Home Hardware #6429 operating on my layout, the Trenton Subdivision in N Scale. (still learning how to make "How To" videos.)

Wow, Look at this Brass Interurban I Found (in our stuff!)

NOT FOR SALE

While looking through a bunch of my stuff tonight, I came across an interurban I bought for my wife back in the day when I was making decent money in I.T. She was a fan of and often rode in Chicago, North Shore, and Milwaukee Railroad cars. I got this brass 404-406 Series interurban that was imported by MTS Imports, Inc. for $295 and just found an undecorated one that went for $365. Of course I don't know if decorated adds or decreases its value but since my wife will never let it go, that is a moot point! But it sure is gorgeous!

One evening project - something to do on a dreary winter's evening

I was looking for something relatively not complex and an one evening type of project to keep the modeling juices flowing. My work for a living job has resulted in some fairly long days and my energy level in the evenings has not been where it normally is. The winter blahs would be a good description.

Making a toyish model of a crane into something more realistic.

Wed, 2019-02-06 00:25 — Deemiorgos

I got out an old Model Power crane and decided to keep it and make it a little more realistic.

So far I carved off the steps and grabs and replaced them with brass ones. I also did some light weathering.

Looking for some more ideas to make it suitable for the late fifties.

Warped Plastic Wall

Sun, 2019-02-03 16:59 — Jackh

I'm working on an On30 Cache Creek caboose model that looks like it is 3D printed. The 2 long walls are both warped. I am pretty sure I can dunk these in some hot water and take the warp out.

Question is how hot should the water be?

How long in the water?

And how heavy of a weight do I put on it?

Thanks, Jack
