seoren Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 N scales are like 11 bucks a car. So the bigger you go, the more expensive it gets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EATADICK!!! Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 zed thanks for all the tips, turns out my boys dad is some kinda engineer and builds n wires some crazy shit at his work and i told him what i was doing he i think now after all he showed me n told me im just about a certified electrician, lolz, and the gauge wire we use on train layouts is to small for anything he uses so he gave me enough for my whole layout and all the switchs, i gave him an old MR mag with a how 2 make ur own walk-around throttle so maybe ill get lucky n his pops will make me 1, as for the weathering, yea i posted awhile back my first weathering ever i did on some granners that came wit a 2003 shoprite trainset that i got through a trade, i recently just repainted the unit....from this too this i kept the numbers the same everything else is swaped for espee, n 4 kicks, also zed thanks for the sawdust dip worked awsome, n fresh, real nice cars, gr also n get some track! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv never seen a cryo with boxcars in real life, only with a line of cryos. So i couldnt tell the difference. My bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed_Eastwood Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 2003 shoprite trainset! wow - shoprite:lol: . you must be in NY or the tri-state area...havent heard of that store in mad years. no prob on the info..the SP repaint looks good also. @seoren. that set up looks slick. i think i painted one of them CP pac man joints back in like 92. unless you plan on getting serious into the hobby you can get away with that line up. good way to always tell older boxcars from modern ones is the running board at the top. sometime in the 1980s (or maybe 70s) the railroad removed all running boards from boxcars because with dynamic breaking, there was no longer a reason for anyone to be running accross the top of a train. but thats just some super nerd shit. point is just have fun with it - like EAD's alligator:lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EATADICK!!! Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 zed glad u liked my alligator haha yea u guessed it i see shoprite trains out every xmas, there cheap but well built, i think once something goes its done, probly not worth the trouble trying 2 track down any broken or missing parts but good 4 only 25bucks i havnt had any problems n i got ones from 94 - 95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed_Eastwood Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 caught these on Thursday. I have been seeing unit trains of these for over 10 years. the placement of the reporting marks is obviously not prototypical though. naturally, the newer 70' ers are most common today, but there are still a few orange 1200s in the mix. i think Athearn makes the tropis in the photo above, not Lionel - but i agree about Lionel's approach to model aesthetics. they make toys, not model trains. apropos, the Cryo in the photo above is grossly inaccurate - in addition to the oversized coupler and huge flanges.
