  Anyone downloaded Windows 10 yet ?
Posted by: teejay - 08-04-2015, 01:07 PM - Forum: Lower Berth - Replies (46)

I have a second laptop with Windows 8.1 and am thinking of trying the Windows 10 which I think is free if you have 8.1 . I'm a little hesitant because Win 10 is new and probably has issues ....how serious we , of course , won't know .

  The ECI
Posted by: Roger Hensley - 08-01-2015, 05:16 AM - Forum: HO Modeling - No Replies

With its small but dedicated staff of employees, the ECI tends to reflect the sense of optimism found in its headquarters city of Anderson as to a solid future in providing high quality service to its clients as well as presenting rail service in a favorable light to more people.

  MDC/ROUNDHOUSE locomotive rebuilds
Posted by: cnrglen - 07-26-2015, 11:31 AM - Forum: HO Modeling - Replies (192)

I recently had this fall into my lap:
[Image: 001_zpsxiwtv4fm.jpg]
I believe it's the MDC old-timer 2-8-0 and I'd like to rebuild it. Not so much as to make it run (though that would be nice), more for display. It is however missing a few parts.
[Image: 002_zpsrf9m5rqu.jpg]
From what I can tell it is missing the front pilot truck, 1 crosshead, 1 crosshead guide and one main rod.
It was missing the cab but another modeler gave me a Bachmann cab that fits fairly well.
It is also missing the motor/worm gear but that's not as important. My next job is to clean everything up and start mounting the cab to the boiler.

  Dome Oil & Gas by "Rail Scale Miniatures"
Posted by: Ensign - 07-23-2015, 10:38 AM - Forum: HO Modeling - Replies (10)

Hi everyone, I thought I'd share with you another "Rail Scale Miniatures" kit that I had the pleasure of building.
Dome Oil & gas is a wonderful kit based on a real photo that was found on Shorpy.
You can also purchase a additional lighting kit from Ngineering for this kit, and that's exactly what I did.
Here are some photo's of my build of this great little kit.
