I locked the other thread. There is some good stuff in there that probably has been reposted in other threads. I'll check. In the meantime, here's another place to write. B-)

Getting back easy into RRing. Working on finishing decals on a couple railbox/railgon cars that I painted months ago.

Ran some locos today for a bit to work the dust out. it all started wanting to see what my pair of BN SD70 would look like with some coalporters so while running noticed the kato couplers don't like my cruves while hauling the coalcoars (athearn) I ran them with some other cars and seemed to be ok. (I/M hopper behind loco) SO I might have tio put MTL couplers onto a coalporter to allow the turns. Then ran some other locos to see if they worked with the athearn coalcars which they seemed to. (whew) thought I was gonna have to abandon the thought of a Powder river Basin branch and sell off the coal cars. Other than that I switched over to some much needed car modelling. I still have Nick's El Camino (model) out in the garage waiting for color coats.

Working hard on the brewery, still......is there a pun there? Today I received a couple of new kits and won two more. I didn't get sniped this time on these old kits. Phew! Also received my Prince Edward Island Canadian series car. I wish I had more time and another me...... B-)

Notice the change (for the worse) in the font style on the car Pete? Doesn't match the previous province cars. Font Critic D

[ginzokid]

You must have a misprint Dave. Mine are exactly the same. I did notice that the last two cars did not have the low profile wheels included in them like the others. B-)

[dl85vette]

Are you sure? My PEI and NB cars have bold font. noticeably thicker than the earlier cars..

[ginzokid]

Dave, I thought you were referring to the car numbers. You are right. The font has changed on the last two cars. I have a call in to Joe at MT. Let's see if he will answer my questions. B-)
