Very neat. EMD GP40? I grew up watching Chessie SD40-2s roll loads of coal into Baltimore on the tracks behind my house, so that paint scheme still gives me the warm and fuzzies remembering train watching with my dad. Yep. Video here His next project is a 1/3 scale Cat bulldozer.

Damn. That is pretty cool. Too bad he has no place to drive it. I'm not sure if it's powered. If he ever does power it, he can run it in Reading, PA: http://rsme.org/ There's a 1/4 scale railroad there. It runs a 1/4 scale Reading RR Baldwin diesel engine and a 1/4 scale steam engine. |

Quoted:
There was a guy outside of reading that was building his own 1:1 railroad. Had a bunch of equipment & everything. He passed early on in a crane accident, the rolling stock is still there along the road, a little north of Geigertown. Was that the guy that worked on the Reading & Northern? |

| Don't we have a member who makes model train cars & locomotive with so much detail you can't tell they're models unless there's something in the photo to show scale? The ones I'm thinking of have dents, rust, dust, and everything. They look exactly like any piece of rolling stock you'd see in RL. |

There are a bunch of good modelers out there, and a couple here who do some great work. There is one guy on eBay who has taken things to a whole nother level, check it out: K+wOsBNZF,ZVb6g~~_3.JPG)

Yes, I believe so Interesting. I didn't know those were his, or I forgot that it was he who owned them. Met him years ago in the Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern's Hamburg shops. Nice guy. What a shame. |
