Rerceived the stainless etch for the Keystone Details PRR 3768 kit and this happened:

Google really, really, does not want me to see your photos (unless that was the point).  Not even in Chrome, with the ad blockers turned off, while I am signed in to google and Railwire.  Does not work for me in Firefox either.

Anyone have a hint on how to solve this?

I can't see them either .

Oh I get it now , we need to log in to Google via the embedded link behind those icons . Not going to do that , too risky .

Usual Google problem - photos were visible when the post was fresh, then vanished in a couple of hours. We've been through this often enough for me to suspect Google has an algorithm determining when images are on their system primarily to be hotlinked someplace else, and shuts the door.

I don't get it those pics are in a public viewing album.

"Public" within the context of viewing by any registered Google user.

Here's my completed RAS carnival train (at least until I add a few more flats).

I love it. But what about stock cars?  I am doing a similar train, not as big as yours, but I am including stock cars. I've got 4 50 footers from Atlas and 5 86 footers. These are the old "pig palaces".  I'm using decals I bought on eBay and custom made ones for the RAS names on the car sides. No photos because I'm 1400 miles from home camping for a few weeks.
But I love what you are doing.

Tom,

Royal American only carried 1-2 stock cars and that was back in the 1940's and 1950's.  I do intend to possibly add one or two.  I have some old out of production 72' warren stock cars (Raintree was the company that produced them) that I will be adding so I can run the train in that time period. 

After the 50's, they didn't use stocks anymore.  They did use 2 AT&SF baggage cars letter for RAS for various equipment.  The kato baggage cars from the El Cap set are perfect other than the lettering, so I'm trying to pick a couple of those up eventually.

Matteford Paper...

Man, this place is going to the circus.   

Good modeling is a scale all its own, no matter the ratio to the prototype.

Lemosteam, I saw your pictures. I know what you did there. Excellent work. Can't wait till Overlord Google lets us see more.


Dee, when is Kiz putting those up for sale.

Jerry, quite a green industry there. How has Matteford paper pulled off such a pollution reduction?

You mean "green" because lack of the huge clouds NOT present OR green for the color...
It's been "green" for the last 22 years, since the complaint at that time, was it matched the backdrop color too much.  (it was first painted, "blue" ) 

Its' the OLDEST structure (27 years) on the MNSE layout.  Which means it's OLDER than a lot of people, I know!

Maybe some green smoke out the stacks would help ? Everything is almost the same bright green . I tried hiding the fascia with my hand but that didn't help much . Even so I am green with envy .

I earthed up the fascia , you be the judge .
