... I am doing good Stan. Thank you. The RPM meet was so much fun. Stan, are you the one that has your freelanced road using Alco's? and building it more to...
Hi all, This proto freelance is really taking hold in me. Thanks to all who have encouraged it. If I can get together something I have been working on for th...
Hi Listers: Haven't been able to get this out of my mind. Suppose a shortline used a small switcher like a GE 70 Tonner but needed more grunt and couldn't...
I didn't laugh, nor so much as snicker. It's an interesting concept, and in the world of shortline railroads I'm sure such an odd couple (if not odder couples)...

Thanks Hank for the reply and the conversation. It keeps the creativness going. Also, thank you for the kind words about my models. I simply enjoy building,...

Hi: Out of curiosity, when sorting cars in a small yard what would be the "normal" orientation of the locomotive? On the 70 tonner would it normally pick and...
