My RIP track has been a busy place lately, fixing wheelsets and couplers, correcting some decal errors... which brings me to my latest dilemma. I have a kitbashed Westerfield H21 hopper that

Al, it was in a gondola, and I can give you no reason as to why the car was routed over the Chicago gateway. You are certainly correct that there are other ways to route shipments to Flint not using

Be kind. This is a one man outfit in what euphemistically has to be the most "cottage" of cottage industries. That someone produced, and I subsequently received this truly beautiful kit at all, I
