The Locomotives

Here's a photo of my Atlas N Scale SD-60 locomotives. The Burlington Northern tiger stripe paint scheme is one of my favorites. I picked these up (used) at a train show years ago and never got a chance to use them very much. They are still in "almost new" condition, but they haven't been run in a while and will probably require some maintenance. They are DCC ready but do not have decoders installed in them yet. Hopefully I will get a chance to fire them up next weekend.

See the photo below for details. Tunnel Trackage West Staging Throat Tortoise Install

Mod-U-Rail Kits Arrive

The Woodland Scenics Mod-U-Rail kits have arrived! The contents of each module kit were pretty much the same. The straight module kit did come with some really nice Woodland Scenics catalogs, however. The brown boxes on the left side of each box are full of scenery material. The white pieces on the right side of each box are the SubTerrain risers and profile boards. The foam sheets for the base and the Track-Bed for the roadbed are underneath. Mod-U-Rail Kits - (top to bottom) Two Corner Modules, Straight Module Inside of a Typical Module Kit - (corner module)
