Solved my problem for trucks. I built them out of brass and bachmann wheels. There strong enough to stand on!

If you want more tanks I found flames of war tanks are very close to scale. The figures are a little small and they all need to be painted. The tanks are resin and steel the new molds are plastic, some assembly required and paint but they look really nice.

Latest update lights in and working except for the copula. for my problem with trucks I will be keeping post on that also. I'm going to get them the hard way hint hint.

LED's are what i've been working with for the past few months. I found strips of LED's at my local hobby town USA. there great for lighting up passenger cars and cabooses. they will run of a 9 volt battery and are easy to install. here's a video of my caboose lit up with a orange LED.

Here's the latest update. Caboose is done except the lighting and took a test run with my train on the line, all is good except stability with the current trucks on the caboose, I would like to put arch bars on but Bachmann stop production on them. Any suggestions from anyone that could help me.

Brass track does have a tendancey to turn green. Your best bet is go stainless steel aristocraft track with 6-8 foot radius in curves, then you can run just about anything on the line. The next thing you have to consider is road bed, If you have permafrost this will be diffcult but not impossible. I would find paving stone that's round with a indent like a crescent moon. Thats what i used for my road bed and it works well then if you need to move some track or fix a grade you just move the stone and dig them half in. Hope these tips help you out.

Windows are all in waiting for a 9 volt plug.

will you be releasing the SD70's in the Alaska Railroad Paint scheme. as from 2001 to now their main road power has been 28 SD70s and GP40s.

Lettering in place just need to add windows, finish electronics and interior detail.

My cousins love Thomas and friends but they also like narrow gauge. I know some costumers would like to see Skarloey and Rheneas, so this is my thinking. Bachmann has a good line of N and Ho scales. 2 foot narrow gauge is a easy thing to do with N scale track and half the size Ho body's. What you will get is Hon30 which is very close to 2 foot and 30 inch gauges.

Those engines would be perfect models for adding to the ON30 line. Sugar cane cars would also be nice for Bachmann.

Thanks for the help I will keep posting pics when the project progresses.

Those sites are a little tricky for a oldy. I tried it and error any other way of making things simple.

The caboose isn't finished, I'm just waiting for wood that I ordered.

Having a problem posting pics tried placing them on word then shrinking them but that didn't work.
