BSME to relocate
The Baltimore Society of Model Engineers has been given their 90 day notice to vacate their location at 225 W. Saratoga street, Baltimore, Maryland after 66 years!
Due to this and the power issues we experienced in November we will not be holding any more open houses and will be concentrating on packing and relocation.
We have three locations we are already looking into as a possible new home.

Chessie System MOW cars blog
In this blog I will be posting my modeling efforts in building MOW cars for my Chessie System railroad. Enjoy.
MOW train on the UP in Slidell, LA
Here are some MOW cars encounted on the UP in Slidell, LA (That's Louisiana for you northerners)
The group of cars and the NS converted Pullman were an awesome find for a northerner.
Hope you can get some good out of the pictures, posted in the first comment below.
I’ll take a walk now and see what I missed......

Keeping Cost of Freight Cars Down
There have been many discussions on the MRH forum about the cost of our hobby. This topic is much more specific. It is about controlling the cost of individual freight cars. I have set a RULE for all of my freight cars. That is, the average cost of my freight cars is $20 and no more. Note, I said "average" cost, . . . not maximum cost. This means that if I spend $30 on one car, then another has to cost no more than $10 to bring the average back to $20. This sounds simple, but it takes a lot of personal discipline to make this happen.
