Cars, Locmotives and Projects

Last Saturday a box came from Bill of BTS fame.  It included a USMRR flat car, a USMRR House Car and an Open Wood Rick. These should be a good start on projects whenever work slows down.  This joins another project which is already under way and that is the conversion of a 3 rail SMR Texas to 2 rail.  I picked up this beautiful loco a month or so ago. Dave provided me the parts to change the drivers and tender wheels.  The NWSL wheels for the front truck arrived recently and they fit very well.  Now comes the time to to paint the wheels the right shade of red , put on the pickups and try to figure out DCC. 

Hopefully by the next post I will be able to include a skethc of the basement area.
