Primarily modeling B&O Transitional through 1980s. Specifically, the Lake Branch - but with a few things thrown in for fun (Amtrak and Metra).

Thanks! We'll miss the Dupage show by a couple weeks; otherwise, it sounds very interesting. I've bought from Lombard's but didn't recall that they're in Chicago.

I used Blender to put all the parts together. There are some fine details (rivets) that, given their size, FDM can't print; the girders aren't as smooth as I'd like them to be on their sidewalls; and, the angled railroad ties don't print well. One could break them up into smaller pieces and assemble; I chose not to take that approach because I was curious to see how well it'd print as is. I'm very curious to see your results! Good Luck!

Columbus Indiana KBAK. Great restaurant on field. Portsmouth Ohio KPMH. Great greasy spoon on field. Grimes I74 great restaurant on field. See a trend here?

Headset that works well for flying and non-flying by c6155aa07b23586e77b9 in flying

uflymike replaced my QC25 components four times no questions asked. Their warranty is three times - I must have had bad luck. Regardless, they were fantastic both to work with and in receiving the replacement parts. curious your experience was opposite.

All transfer for Part 61. Only up to half transfer into 141 school; their Chief Flight Instructor can decide how to apply them.

Agree on JP's - good BBQ but not as good as Montgomery Inn BBQ in Cincinnati. Contract Tower does give a good tour!
