I’m interested but could you post it better so we can read

Is your railroad property remotely located from your house? How far? I’ve heard of one guy that has a massive layout in a warehouse type structure but it’s almost 20 miles from his house. Can’t “op till you drop” at 2 AM in that one, although I bet he’s got a bunk in there and a shower too. He’s got a full time employee to run a train over all the layout every day to keep the track clean and maintain it. A model railroad with an actual maintenance employee. 😮 😆

[attachment=0:1ameruyx]T&P step box with lantern.jpg[/attachment:1ameruyx]this step box came to the Indianapolis Railroadiana show several years ago – and left there with a new owner…
I can’t recall the vendor. he had no information about who it was that restored it. I can’t tell if the top was ever painted, though it has apparently been scrubbed of its road dirt.

It was good to see the folks who came.
A reminder that there are other folks still in the world outside the house!
The train ride was nice and the clinics were interesting.
Look forward to seeing more of you folks next year in St Louis.

I have had my copy for several weeks now.
Still learning new things about the MI every time I crack open the book.
Very dense and lots of pictures.

Thank you Charlie, very well done.

If you don’t like that video your grandkids will!

They are listed as “needing reservations.”

I think someone at intermountain told me they need 90 reservations to break even producing a given boxcar scheme. I don’t know if it’s the same for locomotives, but really, I can’t imagine interest worldwide in 90 MP FT unit sets, as much as I want them.

They did run the original grey and yellow Cotton Belt scheme years ago. Beautiful. Apparently a bad decision for intermountain. They were the last ones in remaining stock. I got an ABBA set for near half price. Got em to run on a now gone club that closed down before I ever had a chance to run them. They are still unopened.

I did a few grey wood flatcar decks with just the colored art pencils. They look a lot better than before (and needed no brush cleanup) but don’t have the depth the washes give.

The art pencil weathering is a great tip I learned from you several years ago.

How did you weather the flatcar boards?

I thought you weren’t modeling this period any more.

Looks like intermountain is thinking about MP FT units again. Any scoop on that?

Got it yesterday.

Marvelous work! I am really looking forward to reading it in detail.

Received my book, it is a beautiful production. It’s going to take a very long time to get through it. I’m just thumbing through and looking at the pictures to start. It has gotten me fired up about modeling the MP again. It’s even made me reactivate the thought of a New Iberia and Northern article for the Eagle although supporting material and documentation is nonexistent.

Now I know why we haven’t seen Charlie showing us much work on his layout the last couple of years.

Anyone besides me notice the neat little “detail” slipped in on the top of the book binding? Pretty subtle.

It appears from USPS tracking that it is arriving today.

How many steam engines were cut up for “defense” during WW2? I’ve always wondered how many junk automobiles were scrapped for defense. Not many, I would bet.
