There's a really nice bed and breakfast next door to me...  Just tell the wife you're taking her on a romantic getaway, then spend all day in my attic!

 ;D ;D

What can be more romantic than N scale trains and the smells resulting from Vitamin Y and Polock Johnnys?  ;D

You are speaking post-consumption, right Dave?

In fact, Daniel's article really got me thinking about taking the plunge and doing a 1500 or two now. Any followup on working on the motor?

Can you do 3 or 4, I need two for Hershey,  ;D

Actually, I was hoping you'd do a couple for me... Need 2 for Cockeysville and probably a similar number for York...

If y'all run into issues, I can help you out. Since Richie left, I have to find another mill :(

Good model, Daniel!

You and Richie must have really wanted one of those pretty bad to brave chopping

the frame and carving up the shell to get the finished model.

Great end result, though.

I thought the prototype photo follow-up article was helpful too.

Nice job!

Take care,

-Phil Brooks

Lee, that was a great article and I really enjoyed the background on the short line, so much so that you've renewed the South Penn under Conrail itch I get from time to time. I also liked how you used the basket grab rolling stock to either make believable models or your suggestion of experimenting with them.

Daniel, what can I say, SW1500s are essential for the line I'm modeling and your article is just what I need to get to a realistic roster. You also gave me some good ideas on, hopefully, me completing my SD60I creations. Now, if only someone would finish their SD40-2 write-up, I'd have a complete library of CR locomotive articles to bring my roster as close as possible to the prototype,

I'm heading to the beach for the next few days, so maybe I'll get some writing done.

Ed,

I assume you mean you're "going down the ocean."

So you can check out all the 'hott' new swimsuits.

Daniel, now that you've put in all that effort and published an article on the SW1500, does this mean Atlas or Bachmann will announce it next month with DCC and road-specific details for under a C-note?
