I bought this old Takara 4 car set last week. It was basically junk, but, I think I can fix them up. The first photos in this set are the cars the way i purchased them. The other photos are progress photos as I work on restoring all 4 cars. Some had to be disassembled and roofs replaced using brass sheet, others just needed flat filing on the roofs to remove the pits. All will get new KD couplers and new trucks, if necessary.

most of the pieces...starting to dismantle every possible thing I can without breaking anything as I want to paint everything and making it clean.
I bought this model last week, it arrived, but needed some work. I had to remove the cab and fuel bunker in order to correct their alignment. It appeared that at some point the model was dropped and the cab and fuel bunker were pushed out of alignment with the boiler. After repairing the cab and making a new cab vent, I used the blast booth to remove most of the blemishes on the brass. Then it was reassembled after an airbrush coat of clear gloss paint. The model still needs some work, but, it is coming along well I think.
Here are a few recent additions to my brass locomotive collection.

Over Christmas I made some digital copies of some old square slides at my folk's house. A couple show me and my first real trainset, a Lionel complete with a Pennsy steamer and Penn Central caboose! It was a big day. We still open presents here and I still can't get enough trains.
The Monashee Pacific was a proposed railway in the 1950's that was never built. The Edmonton Model Railway Association, located at Fort Edmonton Park, has created a world where this railway exists. The level of detail is incredible, from the towns, the trains and the people, no minute detail has been omitted. There is even someone taking a crap in the woods with a bear approaching him.
I could have spent days photographing this incredible layout. I have only included the highlights.
Did some more work on this station. Got the widows in which I tinted with some tamiya TS 71 smoke, and put in the protection posts in.
Right, this is the model of an airport, shot at night. It's part of Knuffingen Airport, the latest construction stage of this unassuming model railroad in Hamburg.

A few photos of an early hand built HO brass PRR GG-1 Electric. I believe this to have been sold through Tetsudo's shop, but, may have been made by Kawai Models for Tetsudo.

This is a Custom Brass New York Central P-2A Electric Locomotive in HO scale that I bought recently. I spent this weekend repairing it. It was a basket case and was missing some parts. I still have to find a pantograph shoe for the roof to complete it, but, now it looks much better and runs very well.

Earlier I shared some railroad graffitti that shared a heartfelt emotion concerning the loss of a loved one. I have no doubt that this emotion is just as heartfelt, though without all the warm fuzzies. I've no idea who Mike Carey is, but I suspect he works for the FRA and that his reputation may be sullied in some circles.
