Hi all,

While I'm gathering parts for my Spectrum 2-8-0 kit bash to an ICRR 2-8-0, I've been doing some kit building. Here are two photos of an AMB "Iowa division" caboose and one shot of an resing kit ICRR box car which will wait until sprint to be painted.

I am really enjoying building the resin kits ... slow, but very enjoyable.

The roundhouse is a large Walthers kit with 3 more stalls. the tape was to hold the doors closed while I worked on it

The plow is an old Ambroid kit of a B&M plow

[lanny]

Very nice work on the roundhouse and the snowplow! Wish I had room for even a small roundhouse on my layout.

Years ago I built some Ambroid, etc. wood 'craftsman kits'. Once in awhile I see a Labelle or Ambroid come up for auction on eBay. What's your opinion of the detail of those wood kits vs. some of the 'craftsman' style kits available today?

thanks!

they are well worth the bucks. Good detail for an old kit

Ill be in Rochester (well Fairport/Penfield) this weekend so don't be surprised if you get a knock on  your door

[pdlethbridge]

call first. By the way, there was a nasty train wreck in east rochester a couple of weeks ago. all cleaned up now and it happened a block away from despatch junction, our favorite train store.

Was it a CSX wreck? 

[pdlethbridge]

yes it was. I'm still having issues with the image size.

I can post the html tag and the url, but the img here always gets resized. could it be an area of the image problem, too big?If thats the case then this should be small too.

Here's my latest kit ... a Branchline Blueprint REA 1953 built reefer for my ICRR "Land 'O Corn" daily, Chicago to Souix City. Branchline Blueprint kits have enough detail parts to keep any 'fine scale' modeler happy.





... and if you are into detailed underbody/brake rigging ... these kits will satisfy you as well.

yes it was.

I KNEW IT! Who else could have wrecked?

I too find the images on here too small, so you can see some of my work on:http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/dandgbathome
This is a public gallery, so be on your best behaviour!
No layout as yet - too busy having fun building stuff!

stUPid

dispatch Junction is good
If I go Ill see if  I can meet you there PS if you go bring the R1d 

[pdlethbridge]

only if Frank brings it to the store where he works. He is the pro painter and it's my brothers engine. Stan owns Despatch Junction and runs it with Frank's help. The train wreck was at the next overpass east of the building.
