Dave Grigsby: I thought I would recommend a couple of 70's era dvd's from Greenfrog, one is the Milwaukee Coast Division 1976-1978 and This Was The Rock Island! (1975-1980). Both have great action and show these two roads in their twight years. You can order direct fro... more

Christopher Brimley I want to know if it is just me, but I seem to break the tips off of #11 X-acto blades much more frequently than I did a few years ago.

Bob DeStefano
Herb Roberson I just want to say thanks to all on the site for so many great new ideas on scenery, kit bashing, painting, and on and on. What a great site and sharing people! Thanks!!
Adam (adaribros) I am going on a LONG trip today. See you guys in Two weeks.
NW Railfan Ok you 'proto' freaks out there. I have dilemma. I love the NS and the MRL locomotives. The issue...NS is very rare in the NW and MRL as I am sure doesnt exist anywhere outside of the area of the NW(I have yet to see one in Idaho). I would love to make a Appalachian scene. I would even enjoy a Rocky Mountain scene. The only issue I truly run into..We dont have very many cities in the NW excluding Portland/Vancouver, Seattle/Tacoma and the flat cities of Boise/Bozeman/Billings. I would love to incorporate a NS/MRL mountain scene with a city scape. How would I do this being "proto-typical?"

So far the closest to Jim Rockford's trailer Ive found is the City Classi
