I'm sure some of you have seen this, but this is still awesome to watch. A complete tear down and then rebuild of an old Geep.

Unstoppable...a little far fetched but based on the real event in Pennsylvania...a little, ok alot outlandish but there is some great shots of modern trains, yards, turntable in this one...and better yet..has some SD40-2's!   

Just wanted to let everyone know I got a nasty virus from visiting the site about an hour ago. Yard master please check the codes. It's a nasty one too. Just wanted to give you all a heads up.

Got the big boy in two days ago, here is the vid of it in action. VERY pleased with this engine, but it came with plastic handrails...surely this is a mistake with the retail price that is on this sucker. Not that I paid that much for it, but still...other than that though, this baby purrs and creeps like no other. Enjoy!

No, I did not, but I will ask Trent if he did or not and if he did I will ask what he used for the lumber.

Come to find out one my other IC friends has this Athearn engine! thought you would like the pic! I'm told they make an appearance on ebay all the time.
Best,

Super nice layout! You need to post this in the Show us your layout thread in the General Discussion Header. Love those street lights!

ah...well, if you want to be savy you can get the ho scale decals and then go scan them up to size and then print them out on a new sheet of laser printer decal sheet. ta daaaaa problem solved! =) any print shop should be able to do this for you or help you at least.

GG1, I will go down and find out what I can for you..it probably is a custom made job would by my guess..i think i did see one of the eagles done in HO. I'll look around for that one as well and see what I can dig up.
B

No Problem, M1, I sent you a private message with the the conact info and phone number to the musuem.
B

Anytime! Hopefully you will get down here to see it first hand!

M1Fred, a vid of the interior of the musuem is up in the trainiacs thread. Hope you like it!
B

Here's a quick vid on the inside of the musuem. Ok, Jerry don't watch this one so it won't spoil your visit up here! =)
Enjoy!
