In case some didn't get all the way through the first video, I'm posting a screen shot that can be used to support the "Ed's Law defense" no matter how bad your trackwork turns out.

I want to see Microtrains do those graffiti cars.

Could see the gondola being done, but not the other 2.  Or the sluts could be turned into the SLOTS

In all faireness.. if you were to scale up most N scale track work to 1:1..It would look like that..

Like looking at a microscopic view of a human hair..  Or printing or printing on Micro-Trains cars.. or the boards on a Rapido reefer..

I said most..not all..

... except that the rail would be over 12" tall and 5" rail head width....

I'm not a modern modeller, but I would pay $40 a car, if not more to see a combo of "ODD STRANGE SLUTS" made by MT. Sadly, it'll be just a Circus City product, which is still ok.

Just realized the ODD tank car was a pencil

I have a picture of that car in my proto file of graffiti cars that I'd like to recreate.  I really should start to work on some.  I have a friend who is a CSX PO, and while he hates graffiti, he sends me pics of cars he finds while on patrol

I didn’t know until reading this post. 

In my defense, it’s 3:30am and I’m up because my wife’s blood sugar went low and I had to fix her some cereal.

At first quick glance, I didn't see the pencil design either. After reading the posts, I then saw what you guys are sayin... A pencil.

I’ve got land forming and a base coat of paint done on the Arbutus and Niagara canyon modules. Next up I need to colour the rocks.

To be fair to the Rapido reefer, the boards are very even and straight, and well sloped for ballast application.

Thank-you-Chris!  You were not alone.

Mostly JFRTM this week.  The Southern Ry. took delivery of two WalthersProto FP7s this week, pictured here making their first revenue run.  Classy.
