Website of the Week Lets take a virtual tour of Juniata shops
Posted by ThoroughBreed on Sunday, 20 July 2008 (01:00:00) (10 reads)

Heres a great site for a virtual tour of the Juniata Shops in Altoona, PA. Explore all the links:
A general history; the gallery contains a tour of the car shops, paint shop; roster shots of steam and electric locos constructed in the shops; miscellaneous photos of modern power with some cameos of NS OCS; A time line; Diagrams and Maps with track plans for the 12"=1' scale; A listing of current build programs, rebuilds, and conversions.
I guarantee theres enough info in there to keep you occupied for a bit, lol. So grab a cup of coffee, and sit back and explore the former PRR shops.

Website of the Week NAPTOWN and WHITE RIVER.....
Posted by IronGoat on Friday, 04 July 2008 (15:55:04) (45 reads)

The Naptown & White River is the premier MRR Club located in Indianapolis, IN, where 30+ very active members maintain a stand-alone building which houses a sizeable HO scale layout, and a N scale layout that is in progress.

They have plenty of layout photos, and several layout video's showing their operation... and they even have the 2 Guyz Forum listed on their site as a useful site!!!

Enjoy the tour...

Ever want to know what an FT would look like in BNSF punkin paint? Or how a PA1 would look in your freelance paint scheme? Look no further than The Railroad Paint Shop where you can download unpainted "line" bitmaps of your favorite locomotive and butcher, er, paint and decorate it to your hearts delight.
