this bridge was built with a plastic box that is used in most offices to save paper.

Life-Like P1K CPR RDC-1 9056. The real 9056 was the first Budd RDC used on the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway replacing the conventional passenger trains in 1955. I haven't yet decided to reletter it for the E&N, as the real 9056 wore CPR lettering while in service on the E&N.

Custom detailed Atlas B39-8 BCOL 3904.

Picked up another Atlas BC Rail B39-8 second hand for about half of what I paid for the 3901.

Looks like CHP has to escort the Brinks truck to the other side of the track again.

Atlas B39-8 BC Rail 3901. My latest detailing project, all I've done so far is put the horn on(5-chime horn from Miniatures by Eric). It came from the factory with the grab irons, operating levers and mu hoses.

Amtrak 391 West rounds a curve past the Fuerst Matthes Papermill, heading into the upper helix.

This model was sitting on my test track for the last few days. It seems that it got really hot out in the shop and a tube of glue on a shelf above the test track exploded and dripped all over this side of the model. This is not glue like Elmers white glue (I could just peel that off), this...

I guess the one positive thing that came out of this rebuild is that I had a chance to reconsider the fans that I used. Now I'm going with some fans with a lot more detail to them including etched metal fan blades and screens.

Almost back to where I was before the great glue flood of July 2008.

New bits being installed.

All of the damaged bits removed and some new bits ready to be installed.
