This is an Athern 40' Boxcar I purchased at a show in January for $5 and have since weathered. It was an assembled kit, however the previous owner had painted it a color that had more red in it than brown, however, it did have the decals on it.

I am a big user of images found online for my modeling. I am in search of roll on/off dumpsters that look like they have been used. Do you have any pictures to share. I am trying to weather 6 of Walthers green dumpsters and have been unable to find used pictures on line either via Google or DuckDuckGo.com searching. Most of what I have found seem to be publicity shots. Looking for real world stuff. Thanks. Tom

 I recently purchased a Sylvan 34’ Tandem Fruehauf Livestock Trailer (Kit#T-014) . I am now in the process of assembling it. The difficulty that I am having is attaching the underframe to the body. How do I glue it to the trailer’s body? It appears that the underframe is made to be inserted inside the walls of the trailer’s body. There appears to be slot that it fits into, but by doing so, the underframe is then about 0.125” too long. If I just glue it to the bottom of the trailer’s body then it hangs down from the body.

To spend more time with family I want to create an Armchair workstation that allows me to spend time with the wife and still be able to do trains in some small way. What suggestions or ideas for operating a workstation in your lounge/ living room. I've already able to have a live-rail display but want to move that to  doing that to a armchair workstation. What pics do you have if you are working in an Armchair. Is it a feasible goal and what sort of tasks do you do. Obviously spray paintinging is out of the question but there is few tasks i could do while watching tv.
