help me find a part
ok so i have an Atlas Yellowbox RS-3, and I want a N&W style extended cab window for the Drivers’s side window. I have a pair of Athearn ones from my N&W SD45, but they aren’t long enough to cover the entire window. Is there any part that might fit better?
Thanks,
AstroKnight

Conrail Ex-Reading GP40-2!
A couple days ago (Saturday) I went to the New York Hamburg train show, and picked this up for 95$! It has DCC, but no sound. It’s an Athearn Ready to Roll model. Runs pretty good, and it’s slow speed is amazing. It’s been weathered and patched by someone (It was being sold by a friend) I also picked up 2 RTR SD50s in B&O Chessie, which both…

The “BoomBox” Project
Hi guys, i have an HO scale boxcar that im going to fit a Bluetooth speaker into. I think ive found a good option in terms of speakers, gonna do a little more digging. Hopefully i can just pop the shell off to charge it.
The boxcar in question is up for debate. Ive got 2 good options, both Roundhouse (from the 80s). I can drill speaker holes…

Walthers Mainline F7 A+B Set: Really good!
A while ago, I bought a pair of Walthers Mainline F7s, an A/B set, painted and lettered for Penn Central. Are they any good? Do they break the stereotype of cheap price means poor quality, or do they prove it right?
The models came directly from Walther’s website, with an amazing sale price of $180 USD for both. Both units came in…

BLI Paragon 4 SD40: Is it any good?
Recently, I bought an HO Broadway Limited Imports Paragon 4 with DCC and Sound, in Conrail livery. (Shown below) Some say that it has outdated tooling… but does that matter?
I purchased the model from Yankee Dabbler. It was shipped in a standard shipping box with barely any cushioning between it’s own box and the shipping box, allowing it to…

Roads... how do I do them right?
Hey, guys.
Me and my grandfather were discussing roads for his layout. He’s part of the 33%ers, so he doesn’t really want anything too advanced. We were thinking cardboard glued down to the foam and then painted gray with weathering. We also wanted to add a sidewalk to cover up the ugly “waffling” inside the cardboard. (HO and O scale)
Does…

EMD Widecabs
Anyone know a good design for an EMD Wide cab? (Mac cab, not Ace cab)
For the nose, I was thinking if it’s 8 studs wide then it can be done with 1×3 slopes mounted sideways on brackets/snot bricks, but then you have to deal with the studs showing.
Not sure how i’d do the front window piece. Here’s one idea: In set 60134, there is a window…

Newbie: What should I expect?
Hey, all:
I am new to this platform; found out about it from Jimmy DIY’s channel.
I have been a model railroader for a long time, and I’m part of a MRR club.
I come from ModelRailroadForums.com. The people there are nice, but I’m thinking of leaving it and coming here, because the website itself has a not-so-good past (or so i’ve heard), and…
