Nice, but what's up with the visible clear decal film?

Also, what is with #3303?  I hope it being an 0-8-0 is just temporary.  It will look really odd otherwise.

That is just after they went on. The 0-8-0 is a 4-8-2 sans leading and trailing trucks as I worked through a running issue. I break out the decal setting solution when both sides are done.

This will get you going this morning... :)

March 1943. "Chillicothe, Illinois. A helper engine is taken on for added power on a grade extending eight miles on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe between Chillicothe, Illinois, and Fort Madison, Iowa."

Testing the theory of a 1950's standard gauged version of the Pacific Coast Railway if it was bought out by the Southern Pacific on my Plywood Pacific before starting on my Extruded Polystyrene Pacific.

At (very) long last we're getting somewhere with the castings from Jason Smith! All the running gear (tender and loco) is designed by Hans. The chassis is designed to take curves down to 13".

I will do that, but give me a day as we'll be away tomorrow (and it's now after midnight  :))

Time to decide whether to convert her to DCC and sound, or wait for the Kato Greyhound and sell her. She started out with the light gray striping, but I retettered and restriped her, one letter at a time... Nice machine, shown here below Devore, westbound on the wrong track  8)

It took a little bit longer, but here some additional pictures of the T1.


Together with the S1 and the other T1.

And for anybody who forgot it, the tender drive.
