We use lots of professional items on the Railroad but I don't like posting photos or talking about it because people have a tendency to say "OH! I would never buy that stuff for a Model Railroad to expensive"
Yet they go down to the hobby shop and buy another Big Boy locomotive that they don't need!
We are not pros just average blokes who like things to work the first time and just about everything we do is done by us (Bruce Temperley, and myself Neville Rossiter) we don't have access to endless people and resources in West Australia that can help us, I admit sometimes I wish we did, skyrocketing shipping costs, new custom duties all making it harder and harder to have USA O scale in Australia.

I just bought two cheap old AHM flatcars and the shipping was 35 dollars Customs 5 the cars were 15 ! so 55 dollars all up. I modify the flats into slab cars for the Steel Mill they are ideal for what I want. Sorry for the rant I apologise.
