No time for trains today.  I spent the afternoon around and under the Miata bleeding the brakes and clutch.

@Jesse6669 that print is very sharp.  I looked and could not find K+ on Amazon, it came up as black resin.  Is that print primed?

Yes, it's black resin, that has a light coat of Tamiya Extra Fine gray primer.  Here's the item on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGX6B7NC   There's more info (including print settings for an 8K printer) in this thread.

This was mostly a T-TRAK week, although I did run trains on the HOn3 Rio Grande Southern.

Progress at Huntingdon:

Not exactly a finished physical model yet but I've finally decided to post some updates on my N scale SW1200RS 3D print.
Im working on an "as delivered" GR-12R class SW1200RS, one of the earlier orders of the 1300's CN had.

I got most of the cab detailed worked out earlier this weekend, still need to get the side windows done (among many other things). But finding good reference photos that dont have the all-weather windows installed has been a bit hard. I think a problem for another day...

Finally a overall screen grab from last weeks work.

Nice job. I assume the SW1200RS will ride on a flexicoil equipped SW1500 chassis.

YES! It IS...   8)
It helps to "Set" that part of the layout's location, in Wisconsin. And...
Also "Sets" the Time of Year... Fall 
Which is when the Berries are usually harvested...

The videos I've seen of the Great Race on the R&N inspired me to dig out some of the hardware...


Just posed at breakfast time this morning, but I may throw a couple of toggles and run them tonight for a brief vid.

Looks like it was a great day of Thunder in the Keystone State.

Too bad there's not 4 tracks at the Curve anymore, nor cooperation between the eastern railroads.  It would be earth shaking to see 4014, 2102, 611 and 1309 all vying for superiority on the climb to Gallitzen.

...and not a single one of those engines has a Belpaire firebox or a keystone on the smokebox...  :(

Holding out hope that eventually the 1361 and the 5550 will join in all that fun!
