You should be proud! It is much more difficult for an N scaler to recreate realism than for an HO scaler. Well done! It was a great photo!

Hey, been sick and also trying to beat the heat, and trying to get back into the modeling groove. Thanks, Jared, for this on NSCALE SUPER DETAILS.

Every summer, I have a side project, and this year, I am weathering and putting up for sale assorted rolling stock. This first one turned out decent. Out of production TH&B 50' Atlas Gondola.

I took some downtime from my podcasts and have some great new ones coming this late summer, early fall. Lance Mindheim, Grant Eastman, and hopefully Volker Meisner

I am a huge fan of the disappearing blind siding station signs, sidings that had no control BITD. Santa Fe had the coolest signs. I was able to find the Sunrise Enterprises ones years ago, and I have changed them so many times that they might be wearing out. I asked John at Whistle Stop Models to create some for me, and I think they are N scale size, but too small to letter or really stand out. My wife thinks the SE signs were HO, no they are N. Wondering what you think?

Changed from stripes to flat gray. UP Yard here it was this color. I need to add some laddering and wire tubing/piping.

We have stripes!

John at Railwire sent me one of his new railroad microwave towers and with plastic hole covers, hearing aid batteries, and cones, we will have microwave dishes.
