st maries, id june 1, 2007 for those of you that have been following the rebuild of the benewah trestle on the st maries river railroad, good news! the first...
It's been awfully quiet here lately. Is anyone doing any modeling this summer? I have actually added some benchwork and have been doing a new track plan based...
I haven't done any since the big push to get ready for Rails By the Bay in Bellingham. I picked up a Railyard models MoPac caboose to go with the CsP units...
I think a lot of modelers tend to slow down in the summer. Too much to do outside. I'm working on the Genesee Branch, but probably won't do any more work on it...
Paul, Well, no more than half of the BNSF dispatchers on this list are WWV modelers. I'm not sure what Matt is doing these days. The only 2-6-2 near the Camas...
The n-scale layout will run partly around the walls of a 14' x 14' room on a shelf ranging from 12" -16". I am modeling just the south end from Colton to...
So back in the late steam days was there a power arrangement similiar to the diesels when the UP and NP each had 5 GP9s assigned? Other power showed up on the...

I've been off in the background raising kids and working long hours, so my CSP input has been well, zero of late. I still remain committed to fulfilling my...

Thanks Bill. Great stuff! Yeah, I'd like to include Pullman Jct, but unfortunately, there's no place for a wye at this time. Even in n-scale, they take up...
... (snip) ... The lesser known half of the BNSF dispatchers is working a lot of 12 hours days... And building boxcars, when I have the chance...can't run a...
I can't seem to ever get anything accomplished with the model railroad in the summer, too busy taking rail photos, camping (best when combined) and other...
I bought decals sheets for the B23-7 units from Paul Mack. The art- work looks great. Thanks Paul ! I also bought two of the Railyard models ex Mopac bay ...
... I have been trying to do some modeling each day. With the almost constant rains here the last few months, it's been very hard to get much work done...
Harry, It looks like you are making good progress. Oils are a great weathering medium. Donovan Furin (in Dallas) did a clinic for me at the Ft. Worth train...
Hi Folks, Great to see all the messages about modelling. I'm on the road right now (sitting in a LaQuinta Inn) on a family vacation, but I'll write about my...
All, With everyone seemingly including Lewiston and PFI in their plans in some way or form, I hope it's not inappropriate to mention that Walthers is...

Bill, You are welcome ! It appears your Dad may have some stories about the Day to Day operation of the plant. I was planning to use some of the loads for...

... Speaking of unusual boxcars, I almost never see the 89 foot 8 door auto parts boxcars anymore, except in Lewstion. I guess that they now make good paper...
I have noticed that as well. Where do they take the paper in the 85'cars? ... _________________________________________________________________ Get a preview...
... 85'cars? ... Paul and group, I can't tell you where the shipments go but the only product shipped in the 86 foot cars is tissue products. I was told one...
... My understanding is that Potlatch ships huge rolls of tissue paper in those cars. I believe that the tissue goes Las Vegas to be cut and packaged into...
I worked one summer in the tissue mill. It was a very nice place to work compared to the pulp and paper mill, not as noisy or hot and you were surrounded by...
