Making Trees

Some of you maybe firmilar with Super Tress. Well about a year and a half ago i had some extra trees left over from my layout. I sold them on the OGR Forum, I had so many emails that i decided to start making them and selling them. I did about 700-800 before i finally got to buisy with other things and had to stop. I actually had to turn people down. I was selling them for 1.50 each with noch leaves and 1.25 with ground foam. I did them in all kinds of shades of green and some in fall colors. I am going to start doing this again. So if you like the trees that you see on my layout and would like some please email me at grswrestler@aol.com I have a minimum order of 10 trees. Here are some trees i made for someone else.

New Milk cars

I have bought a lot of milk cars since the last time i posted. I made a video of all of them being pulled behind the Decapod. It can be seen here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37I1rxPlic0 I also made one of the Blue Comet set that can be seen here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFXkWKtKU34 I have been working on a mountain for an empty corner so stay posted for another update any day now.

More Milk cars

I have bought some more milk cars over the past couple of months. Here are some pictures. I am still looking for the 2 TCA cars and a few others. I have a New Haven and NYC that are not pictured becasue i couldn't get a good shot of them on the shelf. If you have a milk car that isn't pictured and you want to sell it for a reasonable price then please email me at e07little@aim.com

So far i havn't had to pay more then $35 each except for the 2 LCCA cars because they arn't easy to find. I also picked up a "Buy War Bonds" railking caboose and an orange one. These are really nice for railking products i think i might get one in CNJ or maybe Leigh Valley if i can find them.

New engines

Sorry i havn't had an update in a while. There are a lot of things that have gone on since my last update. One of them is for my 16th birthday my grandpop got me a K-line C&O Allegheny with TMCC. And i bought a few other engines since then. One of them is a MTH Leigh Valley Camelback with ps2 and a MTH GG-1 with ps2. I picked up both of these off of the OGR forum for under $150. I also had a K-line A-5 with a whistle and i bought one with TMCC off OGR for $175 and sold the one with the whistle for 135. So i pretty much upgraded it for $40. I have aslo started collecting Lionel Milk cars so far i only have 3. But I have a Hoods, Farifield Farms, and a Bordens on the way and I found a NYC and Dairymens at affordable prices. I also found the 2 rare LCCA cars for decent prices but i have yet to make a decision on them since they are so much diffrent from the rest. Here are some pictures of the engines and milk cars. Stay Posted for another update.

First PS2 engine

I got my first PS2 engine the other day, it's great i can't stop playing with it. It is a MTH Railking Decapod. When i was first looking at buying DCS i had no idea that the sounds where this good. Now i am glad i bought it. Heres some pictures.

Weathered freaight cars

I started weathering a few freight cars this week. I finally bought an airbrush its a passache VLS double action brush. I like the double action brush because i think you have more control then you would over a single action brush. I think the Rock Island car looks the best. To do these all i did was verly lightly spray the cat starting from the trucks moving slowly up with dirt. Then i sprayed the trucks and couplers with rust. In the future i want use some of my grimy black. I thought the process was going to be alot harder then it is. It takes me about 10 minutes to do a car. Heres some pictures of my first few cars. I plan to do more soon so i will keep you posted when i do some more cars.
