<description><![CDATA[Robin,
Thank you.Looking forward to seeing 517 when it's completed.Don't rush your project,that's usually when something goes wrong.The wipers I use are from A-line part #29201.

Mitch,
Thank you also.I agree with you concerning the cleanliness of my 494. I'll have to add more grime and weathering to the unit in future.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I had the privilege of operating on Jim Hertzog's Shamokin Division layout this past Saturday as a guest of the railroad. I want to thank everyone of his crew for making me feel right at home and making me feel like one of the crew. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer bunch then his crew. All very serious operators who all know have to fun and run real operations on one of the finest run and well organized model railroads I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. As a guest I immediately s]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the motivation guys. Was stuck on some details. I dug it back out and figured out what I need to get it complete.
Francis, that's an Athearn offset quad with new side sheets. Although the spacing is off, it's one of the very few ho models with properly oriented discharges. I plan to do more chopping on the next one to get it closer to prototype.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dave,
 Here are a few photos of my 3603 &#38; 3615.On the engineer's side I used the horn that came with the unit,I simply cut off one of the bells.On the conductor's side I used a detail west single chime horn,235-173 or 235-174 would work.

<title>RDG Motive Power- What If ??</title>

<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I read that article and it makes a lot of sense from the manufactures
point of view. My problem is that other than Atlas and Kato I don't have
any &#34;hands on&#34; experience with any other locomotive manufacturer and
that makes me a little nervous about committing to purchase in advance
from a company I have no prior experience with.  
In this economy &#34;you pay your money and take your chances&#34; dosen't
cut it any more.

<description><![CDATA[While I agree with Robin on the paint colors, I'd be interested to see your technique in moving the ladders to the opposite side.  I was looking through John Hall's book searching for numbering/paint info and I saw that earlier cabins had the ladders mounted opposite.  Can you take some photos and share?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thanks very much!

I kept searching the Train Magazine Index but had the wrong author.

This appears to have the basic measurements that I can work out the RDG version that appears to spread the supports apart at I believe a 30 degree angle.

Please spoil us with more of your photos and models.

<description><![CDATA[That should say Order form at the end....  But if you send any order to Norm I stronly suggest letting me know you sent it so I can follow up with him as the decal inventory is actually in my possession. And Norm is in a retired state of mind, so he kind of loses track of time.

There are also some passenger diesel and steam loco sets in Reading and steam era Pennsy  (sorry for cursing on here) sets for PRR hoppers, covered hoppers, 40 &#38; 50 foot box cars]]></description>
