Preview. . . 

Here is a photo of our N-Scale PC&F "Golden West Service" Insulated Box Car.  Notiiced the pre-weathered roof as a nod to realism.  Usually the roof went south before the sides, so we thought we make the roof look oxidized and rusty for this particular box car.  You may preview more of this car as well as other pre-produciton models at the N-Scale Convention in Milwaukee coming this Friday and Saturday.  Be sure to drop by.

Back when Cotton Belt SD45T-2 was leading Amtrak

Back when Sony BetaMax Recorder was selling for $787; President Carter was debating Reagan on ABC; and "Guilty" by Barbara Streisand was on the top of music charts . . . remember?  It's October 1980, I was with my parents in Sacramento taking pictures of Amtrak Coast Starlight No. 11 led by Cotton Belt SD45T-2, and two Amtrak SDP40F units with Southern Pacific heavyweight business car "Oregon" bringing up the markers.  Nice!  Wish I was onboard the SP "Oregon."   Enjoy.

Nothing could be finer . . .

A photo of the day.  I took this SP SD-9 painted in "Black Widow" scheme on my recent outing to the Niles Canyon.  Enjoy.  (Yes by the way we are busily packing and shipping our first run of N scale PC&F 50-ft Insulated Box Cars.  You should be seeing it at your dealers shelves within a week.)
