This week I applied decals to my first freight car from a 3D printed kit:




The HSC welded gondola is from a Briggs Models kit.  Next is installation of custom tungsten weight, underframe, and application of weathering.

Shell swap in progress.  This gets a frame with factory installed ESU sound decoder (with Full Throttle) under this much older Aberdeen & Rockfish RR GP38 shell.  Couplers and a smaller fuel tank to be installed next:

The engine house. A modular helix. Every week people on this forum raise the bar. I look forward to it. Keeps us humble. Haha.

Great job EVERYONE.

I'm adding two more steeds to the barn that were custom painted for me (I wish I was this talented). The SW1500 is mostly prototypical, minus the handrails; I couldn't wait forever @Shipsure.  :D And the GP30 is a custom foob for me (favorite EMD cab/scheme/railroad). Only thing left to do is add DCC.

I do have a small admission. The GP30 was an Atlas factory painted KCS white locomotive. Sorry @Philip H . I kept it's KCS number since it doesn't interfere with the Rock's roster in 1979.

Let it be known Mark Dance has had his heart replaced with 100 Hummingbird hearts . If you want to see him at work you will need to play back images taken with a slowmo camera .

I spent the last few days at RPM Chicagoland with the N scale Modutrak group.
It was an excellent conference with many, many outstanding models displayed and a full schedule of clinics and demonstrations.
