Second time around worked a bit better,using some wood squares you can find at Hobby Lobby. Really makes you miss Trains West, eh? |

The entire Model Railroad Community misses Trains West,RARG show for this year was CANNED
due the NMNG unit was called up at the last minute to serve in the Middle East.
The Security level at the Armory was ramped up as well.
Will not comment about WIG-WAG......

There have been reports that some of the Biz fleet has been repainted to ph III Beech Grove,Corridor Clipper and 10021 are the reported cars done so far...... They are being repainted in the phase three scheme. I don't have a picture of it yet but Beech Grove was in Union Station Washington, D.C. in Phase III paint 2 days ago, 10021 "Pacific Cape" was also done I got a picture of it in Philadelphia last month  |

Thanks for sharing the picture. I have seen pictures on Railpictures.net of the 10001 in Phase III, but no reports of the 10002. Is the Corridor Clipper in Phase III as well?

From the looks(or lighting)the stripes don't have sharp edges,was that car done at Bear De Shop?
Noticed the return of the "Pointless Arrow" logo as well.

I'm not sure if it was done at Bear, DE I'll have to ask around at work, but that would be the most likely location to do the work, the stripes do have sharp edges, the lighting in the photo is obscuring the edge I haven't been down to Washington during the daytime recently so I haven't been able to get a daytime photo yet.

This was how Beech Grove was painted back in July '14 when in ABQ when Mr Boardman,BNSF officals, NMRX and NMDOT officals ran a inspection extra from Topeka Ks,This train also had Pacific Cape,American View, and a View I sleeper a long way from the NEC. The last "TIGER" Grant was just announced a few days back for track rehab work in NM,Co,and Ks along the Chief's route Attachments:

Hello all, for theater car American View Shape ways has the theater end that fits with very little modification. I'm currently working on one myself.
Also Details Associate makes the theater window glass.
Just sand to fit.
