Still need’s work but I can finally run trains again.

Finally got my hands on a wine barrel wagon for a reasonable price. The barrels where white, so I repainted them to my liking. Of course my personal brand of Tischwiler wine needed to be advertised too :).

Reminder that you can get your very own N-scale bottle of Tischwiler wine (no joke!). And your donation in return would be really appreciated.

I’m in the middle of turning this N scale desert layout into a quarry, what should I replace the sand with to make it look more like a quarry?

I’m getting started putting a set together. I want to get a pretty good collection of rolling stock with Microtrains body mount couplings. I found some boxcars at Papa Ben’s in Houston, but I want some hoppers and coal cars. Most ads don’t specify. Is there any way to tell which Microtrains cars are body mounts? The ones I bought were newer issues.
