Actually, it's closer to six years. Martin went into the hospital in September 2012 because his meds were making him weak, and passed away in early January 2013. If his son, Charles, is less than grac

Bethlehem Car Works offered some short TOFC trailers in its Sparrows Point line a while back, but I don't see them there now. I picked up two on eBay some time ago, a DL&W and an Erie (or possibly LV)

Shapeways' price to the designer is, basically, a fixed amount per order plus material cost. That's the material in the part plus the support material that's dissolved away after printing. There's so

The particular Klasing wheel that RCW offers is the only one with spokes heavy enough to print. The spokes on the others are too fine. It was designed by Frank's son, Patrick. Tom Madden

I expect Dave Nelson will chime in at some point. As I understand it, Dave got into virtual model railroading because he developed a serious allergic reaction to something in resin kits, to the point

The slack adjuster set looks very nice, and that SP caboose in hi def black acrylate looks interesting. With those you can see photos of the actual printed parts. The others show only design images. E

Clinics, not model displays, are what draw me to meets, and I try to attend at least one a year. For me Cocoa Beach is first, with Chicagoland a close second. Summer meets like St. Louis are out as th
