The next monster from custom painter and builder Jeff Tyrrell. This time is an EX BN GP35 with AAR trucks that I had him do up as a mid progress rebuild. Lots of primer parts and a very tired paint job. This is getting added to an ever growing GP35 roster now up to 7 painted or lettered in my...

Decided to move a few buildings around on my layout again. In doing so i came to the conclusion that I needed a new modern style warehouse/manufacturing plant. The original building was a Walthers, lakeside shipping (i think forgot the kits name) It worked but didn't have the feel that I was...

I've got a few of the new atlas bulk head cars along with some of the walthers cars and looking to do finished lumber loads in a few of them. The others will be steel I beams. Any one know of a company that makes loads to fit those cars or one that I can modify to work.

I recently had Jeff Tyrrell, http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeyo4bi/index.html, build me a D&H style RS3M but lettered from my road, Great Lakes and New England railway. The heavy black weathering is from titanium ore and this unit is assigned to switch the mine and occasionally makes runs to the...

The old Hararold king decals as a full decal sheet thus making the whole thing a decal that you need to cut around. this dawned on me a few years ago and maybe the idea can spread but using the Harold king logo from the sheet as a newspaper company as I'm doing on my layout. Its simple and...
