They are authored by the dudes who were in it, can't vouch for accuracy, but are supposed to be true accounts.

Hi Paul, Thinking back, I'm certain that the reason for the extended coupler pockets was so these ore cars could negotiate a tight radius......the prototypes were so closely coupled that the opposing wheel flanges nearly touched. Model Die Cast (Roundhouse) ruined the look of these unit trains in HO scale by doing this and as a result I had to spend many hours cutting down coupler pockets and moving the mounting pins for the couplers to bring them closer together..........a real PITA!! The joys of model railroading.

Finished gardening around mine complex.

That mini area looking good Paul , well the whole set up does, but that just looks so good with the steep sides.
Thanks for the other title, I should be able to find that by the title alone on Amazon.
I'd only just downloaded those other two when I switched it on tonight. :thumb2: What I liked about Amazon was it refused to down load that other title as I'd already downloaded it .Clever stuff .

LAYOUT MUST GO! Layout is too big, I no longer have room to work on other projects. A donation will be accepted from whomever takes it away.

Poor planning on my part as there is no longer space to remove washer or dryer should they fail. Pointed out by plumber friend when replacing hot water heater.

[scottie3158]

That must be heart breaking after all the work you have put in to it.

[minitnkr]

Thank you. The joy is in the build for the most part.
