Hi everyone, don't post here much but enjoy everyones input. Just surfed onto a "Trains" Magazine website that seems to have a link to every article that they...
I saw this posted on Altamont Press today. Is this anything the AMTI in Wasilla would want to get involved with. The timeframe is very tight. Is there any...
The business observation car "Seward" offered fro sale by the Chamber of Commerce in Seward is significant that it is the last of the "Wood" obs cars from the...
I sent an email to Kaslo Shops the other week about seeing if they could do a run of GP49s. They said that they would consider it, and I would think that some...
Chris, I saw your post and am wondering what scale you are wanting a GP-49 shell produced in? It would be nice to have one in HO but someone already makes one...
I was talking HO. My hope would be that the model would include all the details for a proper ARR cab, which I noticed the N-scale model is just a long hood, ...
His body castings are pretty decent. I bought a GP8 in thoughts of doing it in ARR. The cab will have to be changed, which will be hard since it's all cast...

There is a dome car at Harbor Island lettered MRLX 9410 in gray with a blue stripe. I must have missed some news, anyone know why it's coming up? Curt...

Curt, Are you sure it didn't just come off the barge from Alaska? I understand that they were returning the former Montana Rockies Daylight equipment. I ran...
Curt and others, Does anyone know - I don't recall a brake wheel on these cars. My recollection is that they had a ratchet lever on the end of the car. Can...
Jason, Correct, ARR had the Universal ratchet style, not a wheel. Athearn's car has generic details and that's the best it's going to get. I've had to...
Curt, What other details need to be fixed? I agree the lettering is good, and one problem I've had with ECW gons is the car sides are often warped, so I look...
I was at Caboose Hobbies today and saw an announcement from Accurail of new 41'6" gons. They look like a match for the ARR gons. Now we just need them to...
Jason, Actually from the side a very good representation of the ARR short gon. ARR had different ends, but the overall effect would be good. Only other route...
Curt, Actually, I looked for a picture of an end to compare but could not find a good one. I can never find the Sunshine kits anywhere. The last one I saw on...
I can post a photo of the gon end if you want. Sunshine kits are direct mail only. I don't know of any shop that carries them as I don't think he deals that...
