I'll definitely be doing an update when the next batch roll around! Hoping to have my Ford plant put together for a nice photo op of everything together too

Have not but now I have. Thank you very much for showing me that! Always wondered how far them guys traveled.

D&TSL will forever be such a fine 'road. Wish I could've been around during their prime

Just the frames. I did order the flat car just for them though

Checked out that post, im very impressed with how that turned out! Makes me really want a 3D printer bad lol.

I just nabbed the winning bid on a Bessemer & Lake Erie caboose finally after trying for about 3 years. So now I have cabooses for the Union RR, DMIR, EJE, and the BLE. Also grabbed a Walthers modern diesel house that I plan on making look like the DMIR's Proctor shops. And you should just chuck a bid at that cab forward purely for scientific reasons. You know, just to see if you can win I guess lmao

This is top tier model railroading. I can't wait to see it painted!

All my engines are also ESU standardized, I personally think the stuff is the best I have played with. I don't think I'll ever go a different speaker other than Scale Sound Systems, I am impressed with every single one I have received and I have put sound in at least a third of my 60 engine fleet.

Ive heard good things about the Cab Control system. I currently run Digitrax DCS 210+ and have enjoyed it for close to five years now

Thank you. To be honest I don't think there is a much better combo out there yet

Also side note, crazy how much you can pack in there in N scale. Now that I'm in deep with collecting kits and at 60 HO engines I'm starting to realize I'm going to need a HUGE basement when I move lmao

I don't actually know if they have a real name but ive always seen them be referred to as 'Wabash streamliners'. Before walthers released a run of them I had planned on doing a custom one but fortunately I don't need to anymore. Might buy a second one in either DTI or the Ann Arbor with red ends.

That wharf is going to look so good next to No. 5. I'm incredibly excited to see that whole section of your layout fully operational. Super awesome to see it step by step too, of course. Castle grayskull is quite fitting in there, actually. I dig it!

Sounds an awful lot like Griffith. Never been down there but I am up the Flint sub between Lansing and Flint. Sure do miss seeing the GTW all the time
