A Boxcar Fit for an Empress - Custom Painting and Lettering an HO Scale Model Train Car
Canadian Pacific 29114 was a boxcar converted for baggage service back in the days of steam on the CPR. Today, it acts as a tool car for Canadian Pacific steam locomotive 2816, "The Empress."
Come along for the ride as I repaint and custom letter an HO Scale Athearn Blue Box 40ft Boxcar to represent this piece of the Empress' entourage. This car will look right at home behind my Rapido Trains model of 2816.

That's Not Quite Right... HO Scale Model Train Tall Tales.

Sometimes in the model world, you find strange combinations of equipment or things that are painted in ways that never existed in the full size. Here's a collection of 3 tall tales involving such things. That being said, as the old saying goes "It's my railroad." All of these could be legitimate interpretations for ones own layout, and that's the beauty of HO scale model railroading.

Diagnosing and Fixing an Electrical Problem on an HO Scale Locomotive

    Very nice work! I’m actually planning on making the entire Final Spike Tour consist at some point but for now I’m just sticking to the simple 6 car consist from when 2816 starred in the IMax movie “Rocky Mountain Express.” What paint did you use for this car? That Maroon looks sharp and doesn’t at all look like it’s over applied. Really wish someone made decal sheets for Canadian Pacific passenger equipment

    Kudos to Jimmy - what a great video. And the Northern Virginia Model Railroaders' club layout in Vienna, VA looks great! For us "Pennsy" fans and HO modelers, kudos also to the Pennsylvania Railroad Technical and Historical Society's modeling committee. They have been instrumental in manufacturers delivering accurate models of DCC and sound equipped PRR steam locomotives in recent years. It makes it much easier to model the steam and transition eras of the PRR. Four more classes of PRR steam not in the video have been recently introduced - L1s Mikados, I1s Decapods, J1 Texans, and the massive Q2. Great time to be a Pennsy steam modeler in HO.
