I will be at the T-TRAK layout in the Young building or running trains on some of the other N-Scale layouts.

Update - May 2016

DAY-YUM!!
It sure has been a long time since I posted anything...

I've been working on some train-related items. Mainly T-TRAK and fitting decoders into engines. Also been trying to speed match most of them to a common standard.
My standards are a top speed of 50 mph at throttle position 99 (Digitrax). 25 mph at setting 50, etc.


Also trying to outfit a toolbox as a "powerbox" for both T-TRAK and my (somewhat nonexistent) railroad. More on that at a later time!

My latest T-TRAK modules, in the planning stage, are 2 (or more) triple-wide with a grade going down off the RED /. FRONT track.

Later!

Repainted - weathered C&D (Trash) cars - Part 2

Some progress on my C&D cars....
After priming them (I didn't bother to strip them), I left 3 in the primer grey, and 2 in rattle-can sky blue. One sky blue car will become GBRX 934873, an ex-GN  woodchip hopper. Goal is to also model the tarps.

It's coming along... slowly!


The other cars currently look like this:

I will letter them for my private leasing company.

So, why have these been taking so long?  I really don't know, but I've been on a weathering tear lately.
Here's some examples (cars are from both Intermountain and Atlas Trainman):

For comparison, here's a new box from Intermountain.
