i ordered a couple of these over the summer too and they are sick!! from what ive seen, the only diff between the BLMA and the exactrail is the price. the same exactrail was about 10.00 more. i went with the BLMA.

prototype.jpg

 

here is the prototype. not the greatest reference pic, but considering this is probably the very first piece on a freight ever, i did it anyway. i had a G scale car that fit the bill. no way to know what was on the other side...im sure no graffiti since this is from 1974. been working on it for almost a year (off and on) and im almost finished. just have some touch up work to do now. yes it will be a full replica - weathered and everything. only problem is the car looks brown in this pic. the only proto of a 40' CNW box with yellow herald manufactured between 1960 - 1964 (which is probably the batch this car is from) is red and just looks brown because of the flik and years of weatherng. ill post the progression fliks once i get the wheels (maybe another month or two), dullcote seal it and gat a piece of track for it.

 

the 1/25-35 projects, are they trains?

 

 

Great info!

KO - the store's site says it's built to G scale. the store is a big garden center with various other stuff. they have been setting up the train display every winter since the early 90s i think. i think they change a little bit each year as well.

 

only thing that kinda bugs me is the old fashion feel of everything - buildings, people, advertisements etc. but then most of the trains running are more modernized. doesn't really take away from the display being cool regardless, it just kinda stands out to me
