Save Money On Stains:
Read about making your own stains & washes on our Tools & Tips page. Our formula for a wash to color hydrocal rocks like those found along the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad for just pennies is on that page.
Thanks, Tom & Julie Andersen

If you have one of these kits but have not completed your model the revised instructions and drawings are available at no cost on your request. We can mail printed sets, or, if you can read Microsoft Publisher files on your computer, we can e-mail the documents. Best regards, Tom & Julie Andersen

G Scale Wolf Creek Roundhouse & Machine Shop
Rich from San Jose California is building our Wolf Creek Roundhouse & Machine Shop in G scale. Rich cuts his own scale lumber. As the pictures show, Rich is a master woodworker. Besides model railroading, Rich markets wonderful artistic wood turnings and teaches wood lathe work. Visit his web site, www.latheart.com to see what he does.

Rich made some minor changes to our plans, planking the roof, and boarding the openings in the clerestory. He also made the roof removable, a very good idea...
