Just finished up this little Durango Press kit, The first piece of rolling stock for my new Hon3 layout.

That's a really cool piece of work, Gary. :)
Those cupola windows are especially nice.

Thanks Greg, pretty easy car to build but those kadee trucks will test one's patience.

Oh yeah, Kadees... I know what you mean. Did three pairs of log buggies and a little logging caboose...

...which meant assembling fourteen #15 couplers.

DOING!:eek:

(ok... now where did the damn spring go this time?:rolleyes:)

I do really like Kadee's consistent quality, and use their metal trucks and #148 couplers on everything that needs upgrading. The #148's are an easy to install alternative to #5's... and don't go doing! on you.

Looking forward to seeing whatever else you come up with for your train. :)

Those little springs are so much fun, I did find a way a little easier was to use a little ac glue on the botton of the spring and it would stay put so you can place the other side of the retainer plate.

I like the logging buggies, nice work
