I love the drumhead on 907!

That's a vinyl sticker I had maded a while back. It fits perfectly on those generic round magnets. I can just move them around as I please.
Nice idea for a non lighted drum head
Ordering a 3D print?

I did, and right after I hit send, I realized I scaled it wrong. I'm trying to cancel the order, however no luck so far. After I get a test print they will be available on Shapeways for around $50 a piece.
These are available on shapeways if anyone is interested. It fits great on O-gauge flatcars.
Tom, Nice TOFC and truck with trailer. IT looks like your inventory specialist is quite happy!! Nice place for a yard!!

The CFO came home and asked when she approved the yard extending into the rest of the garage. She said something about a board meeting...
Tom, I love your W.P.&Y. collection. The CTTA has produced some nice cars and you seem to have them all. The Weaver TOFCs are so nice and the trailer decoration on that one is fantastic.
Good luck at the board meeting. I don't think manifest destiny will work so the real estate will probably cost you big time.
Great job on your WP progress. The CTTA is always considering new custom run items. Is there a White Pass freight car O gauge that anyone would interested in seeing done?? Perhaps post some ideas here and forward to the CTTA?? They might do it ?
Silver or black single dome tank car, different reefer or box car design, hoppers or ?? Would like to do that engine some day.
This is a piece of rolling stock I decorated for a railroad that never was. The Chilkoot Railroad and Transport Company was founded in 1897 to service miners headed into the Yukon Territory, bound for the Klondike gold rush. Not a single rail was known to have been laid. They ended up making a fortune operating an aerial tram over the summit of the trail before being bought out by the White Pass and Yukon Route and shut down. But what if they laid a couple of rails and brought in an office from the lower 48?

The container looks great!
Nice work Tom. I like the woodside gondola, or is a flat with sideboards? The ore car looks good,. What brand is it? I had Three K-Line NYC ore cars I had gotten for $5 each. Lowered them by replacing the K-Line trucks with Weaver plastic trucks I had, removed the NYC herald, renumbered two, now all I need is to make some K.C.C. decals so I can pull them with the Collector's club Kennecott Copper MP15.

The box called it a woodside gondola. MTH. The ore car is Lionel.
I used to be a contractor at the Kennecott copper mine in Salt Lake City. I have the Kennecott K-line work caboose with spotlight. I'd love to add a few more to the roster including a Kennecott engine.
Very nice work, Tom
That's an impressive roster Tom. I see some commercially available rolling stock mixed in with your home grown. What percentage of the consist is your handiwork and how much is commercially available.
Those KCC MP15s used to be plentiful on eBay. Haven't looked in a while so I don't know current availability.
This is everything I have that is commercially available.
I have some duplicates that I run or have altered slightly(i.e. car numbers).
There is another flatcar with trailer from weaver that I do not have. And Lionel has made an engine and caboose. Although those are in the very shortly used "bankruptcy" paint scheme.
I keep a few G-scale cars around just in case I ever make a garden railroad.

I think that'll look great.
Slap a number on that tank car and she's good to go. The containers look great. I'm not sure how I feel about the offset drumhead.

I need to make my drumheads smaller. They won't fit in the center.
Tom, did you weather those two tank cars or was the color saturation of the decals not heavy enough to give you bright white decals?

I weathered them. My dry transfer stock dried up and the company I get them from won't answer the phone. These are printed White on clear vinyl decals. The weathering makes the edge of the vinyl nearly invisible.
I might clean the weathering from the bottom half of the decals. Wouldn't look too far from prototype. http://www.whitepassfan.net/ro...-car/tank-car-8.html
go for it.
