My 2 cents: The whole concept of a "central repository" of information flies in the face of the "web" -- Ted put together a nice site that contained some good information about some prototype freight

Folks, the 2D-F8 truck was included with GLa, F30, and GS kits I ordered for "mobile scenery" in Q4 2010. I just checked, and in each case it is identified on the included drawing as part # 74277

Doug; Thanks for your message. I'll take a look and see what M&StL freight car material is there. It sounds like the sort of content that we'd like to incorporate. The optimal scenario, and the

It is always nice to come home from a week away for work and find some fires burning. Unfortunately, not all of them are for keeping me warm in our newly resurrected Iowa winter. I'd like to make a

I mistakenly ordered the wrong Red Caboose HO GS gondola for someone. I have 11 of the RC #5100 "SP G-50 composite drop bottom gondola w/ SP ends". Retail for $20.00 each undec kit, I am offering

Thanks Ashley. If you're in the UK, I recommend a visit to my Links page to visit Kathy Millatt's web site. She's doing an excellent job modeling the New Haven on that side of the
