Here is the Borden's style milk car that I scratchbuilt in N scale. I was attempting to make a Borden's milk tank car but made a couple of mistakes that were not easily fixed (such as the sharp corners). I decided to start over but also figured that this would make a good "what if" model. Nyack...

2 very dumb brothers go into Loupa's Lumber. The one brother asks the salesman "can I get some 4 by 2's?". The salesman says "we only carry 2 by 4's". The one brother talks to the other and comes back. He says "Okay, we need 200 2 by 4's". The salesman asks "how long do you want them?". The one...

And one more. I will add more photos when the car is finished.

And another.

I started to build a Borden's butterdish milk car in N scale but ran into a couple of dimension problems. Realizing that It would be easier to start over again I took what I had and made it into a freelance car for my own road the Piermont Dock Railway. I put on a round top door with a porthole...

Val, that's soooo cool!!! I noticed the time of your post was 3:16AM.....couldn't sleep so you detailed a building eh? Very nice work.

Evergreen Styrene makes sheets that have squares of various sizes. Decide which size squares you want, then cut strips out of the sheet. The sheets are .040" thick, so you can use .040" square strips (also available from Evergreen) for your curbs. Here is the URL to their website. Evergreen...

Great work Judy. You have a great sense of color and textures. You also seem to like to add those fine details that really bring the scenes together. Isn't N scale great? I have a 2' X 8' and it seems huge. Keep up the good work and keep those photos coming.

Can you imagine what went through his head when he DID wake up!!! That's a good one.

Great one Pete!

Looks great Val. The scenery will be allot of fun too. You'll need a figure of a guy eating a hard roll in there somewhere.

Well Dan, I'm glad you like the gauge. Actually, if Kato would run there F-7's again I'd be happy. That would nearly complete my Erie covered wagon needs. The only other ones that I would want, would be the GE demonstrators. I may try to scratch build of kitbash them. That should be fun!

Hey Dan, welcome to the gauge. I just read the post about you getting trains at Smith & Strieble and said to myself "I know this guy". I have seen both the Kato and the IMC FT's. They are both quite nice however, I like the IMC locos better. They have all separate grabs and window glass that is...

I had the photos linked to my website and deleted them. I thought this thread was defunc. I'll take some more and post them today.

Not even a thin one Ralph.:D :D :D :D

If you have seen my avatar you might be thinking "where did he get that photo?". Well, that's really me!! Two of my buddies and I were out at the Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ station (on the old Erie...of course) doing some night photography of the commuter trains going through. This was around 1989. After...

Hey Val, I guess you mean the "cutting up" of brass locos and such. Once you cut that first gaping hole in a $500 brass loco tender, it's all down hill. I'm working on another one of Gary's locos, this one is a NYC K-5 Pacific. It is getting a speaker for future sound installation. This time the...

Robin, you are an amazing modeler!!

Getting them addicted at such a young age. It's great!! My grandfather was a tremendous influence on me. He lived his whole life just a stone's throw from the Erie Railroad. First in Harriman NY, then Monroe NY and finally Fairlawn NJ. I used to climb up on his lap and he would show me Railroad...

Great work Belg.
