A lot of BLMA Trinity reefers! All spanking clean.... I've seen this often on the UP West Line but never ever once without plenty of graffiti on 'em. All that white surface just too tempting.

Indiana Harbor Belt GP40-2 by Atlas at Lombard Hobbies
Test running one of the Atlas GP40-2's in the IHB scheme with sound (it's loud).
It's http://www.lombardhobby.com by the way. They're fussy about that. Not lombardhobbies...
Also, a couple of shots of a Santa Fe step-up coach I bought. Walther's has outdone themselves here. The pictures don't do the piece justice.

Ashmore Hotel - Kit (Plastic) -- Walthers Model Railroading
Walthers just announced this: Ashmore Hotel - Kit (Plastic) -- 8-5/8 x 4-7/16 x x 13-7/8" 21.9 x 11.2 x 35.3cm (933-3764) -- Walthers Model Railroading
Reminds me of the Hotel Gayon at Pulaski and Washington Blvd in Chicago, Nice feature is the kit comes with three different facades for different eras. That means you'll have to buy three kits and then swap them out depending on what era's trains your operating. Maybe a fourth kit to modify for the boarded up era.
...and a fifth for the coming renewal?

Accurail's Trainfest Specials
I'll probably buy a few of these Milw cars and some of the PFE ones when they come out. I remember long lines of the PFE cars on the C&NW through Oak Park in the 60s.

Rapido HO "The Canadian" Tour Blog:
Rapido using the kind of technology that's made it the best of times to be a Model Railroader.
This past Monday, November 7, 2011 Rapido made model railroad history by commissioning from Creaform to perform the first-ever 3D scan of a real MLW/ALCO FA locomotive: FPA4 #6765 at Exporail, Canada's national railway museum in Montreal, Quebec. Jason, Dan and I all were in attendance as were about 30 of our customers who came up to join in the day's events.
