Hi guys good evening just an idea, but i think to open my own small resin casting company i think to produce some locomotive shells , nothing specific at the moment to tell you about, but let say any type of GPxx, SDxx. is there a copyright violation? should i contact EMD or GE (according...

First, let me say awesome work. very inspiring! But, just my opinion- isn't a better idea first applying all the small detail parts and then paint everything?

I started a while ago a 3-unit cn sd70/75's detailing project I started using a details west DS-298 (details for SD70/75I cn), AU-300 (auxiliary detail set) among other parts, From some reason the instructions are sometimes wrong, after looking at reference photos i found some errors, pipes/...

My most favorite is the F59ph, not the "I" viersion too bad i cant find a model in HO scale. oh well, thats my favorite

very impressive rust! such a good work always inspiring me

My guess is 460

Im very happy with QSI Great sound, much better than tsunami, which my IM SD40-2W came with. Plus it have all the functions outputs for cab, ditch, numberboard light. who can ask for more? Still waiting though for the titan-A :-)

I say 370 Good luck! :)

Put my eye on the NCE's signaling system or logic rail tech system but they have a limited track arrangement, no complex trackage capability

I did built in the past several layouts, and one of them i remember, came out with a very complex track arrangement, though the guy i build the layout for didnt want any signals (go figure..:D)I do have experience with DCC, and electronic, but dont know too much as for signaling the time is...

DCC signal system- need your advice Hi everyone, I need your suggestion for a signal system. which do you use? are you happy with that? and, is your layout conected to your PC? soon i hope to start build my own layout, and i will include a multiple stagin yards, crosssovers and double...
