  1. Hey Tom, I got lucky and happened to spot a early 2000's era 2 bay ACF cruising through central Ohio last week. Maybe this will help as you keep adding to your fleet? ;)

    Steve, I thought your railcars are real at first but after close inspection realized that they are models, fantastic job!!!

    Please tell us more about your weathering experience.

  4. Thanks Tom. I appreciate it, hope you got a kick out of the idea. I started it earlier as I have been painting Keith's stuff but got pink eye from the kids and modeling ceased for a few days until I could see again.

    Joe thanks a bunch, that's a heck of a compliment! I had to just take pictures in the driveway because of the snow here. I will do a little weathering piece in the HOW TO threads if you'd like so I don't HI jack Tom's thread. You never know I may have spotted a couple more modern FRISCO cars and even some motive power around here?;)
    This is an Intermountain kit and for some reason those always kick my behind pretty bad. I break every little part on the sprues, their plastic seems very brittle.
