New York bound commuter train wrecks inside Hoboken terminal, smashes through buffer and stops just short of waiting room wall.

Mother of an 18 month old dead, more then 100 injured. All ferries and trains (subway and light rail included) shutdown to and from station during the morning rush. When rail service will be restored is unknown. Do you think NJT will finally get a move on with the PTC install?

Has anyone made those spill containment bins for tank car spurs? I know Walthers has a few in the Modern Loading Rack kit but was curious if anyone has made their own or have seen any made.

Now just behind the trees, the ECI Special rolls on onto the countryside past the main yards of the ECI where a number of projects are underway. A caboose may be seen slightly off center and numerous cars and a twin hopper are in the foreground. The ECI still makes use of a caboose on a number of switching locals. And, yes, there are two steamers parked back by the diesel house.

I dug through the many things that have been packed up for over a year now and found my air brush compressor. I've used it a few times and it's a nice little unit. I've seen the same one on sale on the Internet for $89.99, not that I think someone would get that since you can buy a new one for that price, but I am willing to sell mine for $35.00 to any Big Blue member that can use it. I did not find my air brushes though or I'd offer those for sale as well. As you can see, this compressor has a regulator and a filter.

Shipping weight will be no more than 10 pounds. It will fit into a 12 x 12 x 5 1/2 Priority Mail box, 2-day delivery for $18.75.

Again, I'm offering this at Big Blue first, so let me know if you want it. Price is: $35.00 plus shipping.

Hey, for anyone needing help designing a layout, I offer my planning and design services for free. I have been helping model railroaders for almost 20 years now. I have helped design simple display layouts, right up to multi-level and basement-sized empires using 3rd PlanIt software. Just add a post to this thread asking for help, or contact me directly. Take care, Rob.

How sad that this forum can remember all things NASCAR but not the murder of 3,000 Americans.

Does anyone use this product for masking off pieces before painting/airbrushing? I came across an article about it on another website, last night. Comes in various sizes from 1/16 to 1/4" I found so far. If anyone does use it, what is the most convenient size? I have a couple of Reading GP30's I want to get in the paint booth soon and looks like some delicate masking off in the cab area has to be done.

Thx,
Mark
