Hi Guys,

Got a question...

A friend of mine mentioned that he heard of the New England RR using a generator car to power the PRR/PC GG-1 since they did not have the overhead catenary system. Has anyone ever heard of this and might know where an article or picture of this might be found? So far my search attempts haven't been successful...but it sounds like a great modeling idea.

Thanks!

Is there a way to print off drawings in such a way that when they are printed off they come out in HO scale? i.e. A measurement of 10 feet on the printed paper = 10 feet in HO scale?

Can this be done with a program like AutoCAD? Or is there another program out there that can do this?

Thanks as always.

I have had a word file with hundreds of US license plates in 1:87 scale from many states. I got it from "some where" in the internet.
It has been lost somehow. Do you know the source or another source to download, resize and print them for my vehicles?
I need specific Florida after 2000. That should be the actual version, isn't it?

Got some truck decals in and decided to start decaling a few blank trailers I had sitting around. This is an older trailer that I built quite a while back, so it is a reck! lol It needs a new Trailer Floor, New Suspension, new wheels, and new Landing Gear. All of which will be replaced.

This is an A-Line Wabash National 53' Plate Trailer with partial buttons with a Trucks N Stuff Peterbilt 389 with 70" Standup Sleeper

Here is the truck and trailer as it was yesterday

...or so they claim. Seems they stopped the steam service to the Grand Canyon last year due to environmental concerns and are now going to resume service using vegetable oil.

I was in Alvin, Texas the other day and ran across this. Here is an older "industry" that could be used from the 1930s probably into the 1970s with allowances for the specific time frame.

First, there is a bit of history at this link: http://stantonmeats.com/History.php

The place started as a coal dealer in 1922, then became a hardware/feed/general store.
