Re: Night Running & Lights?
I fitted a white LED in the back corners of the cab and a string of LEDs behind the waterglass and that seems to work well. I never did come up with a suitable 2.5" LED light for the headlight but the LED flashlight reflector & light (which looked like hell) went up in smoke so I had to fin...

Re: Need storage ideas!
Some brainstorming - How about shelves along the entire length of one wall with a lift mounted on the side of one bay?

Re: Tom bee

Old boxcar plans?
I am thinking of adding a boxcar to my 7.5" ga. LE American and looking for plans. The older the style the better. I am trying to stay 1860s if possible. May make them ride-on if my little 4-4-0 can pull them up the grade but I can add the internal structure to carry a rider's weight. I see the...
