Description

Share and learn about repairing, restoring, and detailing model railroad locomotives. Specializing, but certainly not limited to, vintage steam locos such as Mantua, Varney, John English, Penn Line, Bowser, and MDC Roundhouse. We also have topics on all aspects of railroading, and welcome new ideas. We have many members who are also in other fine discussion groups, and enjoy input from those areas. Both brand new and experienced modelers are welcome to join us.
