The tanks used to be the main water source however they really complicated the plumbing on the loco. I simplified the plumbing by making them cosmetic. I have an injector for it but never installed it. The electric pump is a no hassle means of water supply. I also took out the axle pump. With the el...

I thought I'd share some pictures of my recently completed NYC Pacemaker Box Car in 1" scale. I scratch built the car using masonite. It still needs some details here and there. Next I would like to build a matching caboose.
