Been quite a while since I've been on, have been doing a lot of posting on a lot of Facebook N Groups.
Still have close to 30+ custom builds to do, some I've started on.

Nice models! Very impressive.
There are many people who don't do the evil FB!  Nice of you to post your models here, in the old-fashion online forum.

Actually, I plan to start posting more on the Old Fasion Forums, actually more fun.
As far as Facebook goes, the N Groups are pretty decent.

Now, if only I could get Jason back into trains again, keep trying to light that fire !

Nice or not, for  some of us it is the principal of the thing, but that is not a conversation for this thread.

I wish you luck with that!
 I only know Jason from seeing his posts here, but from what I saw, he is a man of many hobbies and interests (and he is really good at all of them). 

[UP4-8-8-4]

Yes he is !
Has been or was spending a lot of time racing motorcycles.
Also built some motors for them.
He tells me he plans on keeping the most of his collection, but has sold off quite a bit.
And, was talking about taking down his UP layout to make more room for famiy, but also said if he did, eventually he'd rebuild.
At least now he has a great Wife and is super happy with life now !

Hey Mike !
YES, on your site already ?

Good to see you did it, will look good behing the passenger Little Joe.
I still haven't finished detailing and painting you newest passenger Little Joe, but still take it out and run.
The two freight ones are still in my build boxs with their doner Mack 90's.
You did great with the top details, thats a lot faster than it took me to make them.
Also great job on the operating pantographs.

I can’t even power a trolley car to my satisfaction, after looking at these creations perhaps my time is better spent drinking...

This NYC engine is another terrific effort.  Beautiful job!

I have a question of curiosity (hope this doesn't side track your thread....)..
Is that motor in the Model Power 4-6-2 the stock motor that it comes with?  Does it have that big flywheel/worm combo on it now?

Any chance you have a close-up shot of that motor?

Thank you.   Now back to your construction thread.  Congratulations on a real beauty of an engine!

Now the hard part, coming up with accurate cars to go behind it............
