    the Model Railroad Series is back - I mean it this time!

    A long, long time ago, I got the crazy idea to start a video series on youtube - based around my model trains. It had horrible voice-acting, horrible camera work, and a horrible plot. But for some reason, people liked it, so I kept working on it. I improved the storyline, signed on more...

    Hello, Does anyone know where I could find a sort of smelting yard for TRS06? Particularly like the ones in the old Thomas episodes. I need one with an interior for a project I'm working on.

    reskinnable diesels and freight cars?

    Could someone point me towards some 2nd-3rd generation diesels that are easily reskinnable? Also, some freight cars for them to pull would be nice as well. I use TRS06. Thanks in advance, Aaron.:wave:

    CP SD70M-2!?

    I was browsing railpictures.net today, and I spotted this. Look at the engine on the far left: Okay, I'm no expert on Canadian railroading, but I can't find any records of Canadian Pacific ordering any SD70ACe/SD70M-2s. Would someone care to enlighten me on this!?:confused:

    Serious consideration here

    Hello everyone,:wave: I've been debating a serious decision in the past couple of days related to Model RRing. I've been walking the line of selling all of my HO gauge equipment, and moving up to O gauge. I want to start off in Lionel Legacy so I don't have to worry about upgrading later...
