Passenger Service on the Sub


Well, I'm finally getting around to posting again. Since the last post, I have ordered some scenery items that I am going to try to use for groundcover on the mine area. I have ordered through Walthers two items. Hopefully one of them will do the trick. The items are both Highball products - one is their dirt product ( geezzz - where'd they get that saying "Dirt Cheap") and the other is Z scale dark grey ballast. Keeping my fingers crossed that one of them will look good. I have received through mail order another of the Atlas D&H RS36 Trainman locos. These locos are a great bargain, and might just be the ultimate loco's for operators who like to handle (grrrr) locos and rolling stock. They have the excellent regular Master series drive train, but lack all the delicate detail parts that a lot of the newer locos have.

Since my scenery progress has been at a standstill for the last couple of weeks, I have decided to post about Passenger service on the Nottingham Sub, or rather lack there of. Service will be minimal with the odd CN RDC passing through. Have a look at the latest pic as CN RDC D300 passes through. The model is a Proto 1000 model that I purchased when they were released about 7-8 years ago.Till next time...
