Hi Matt!
Thanks for your interest in my little S scale projects.
Alas, there's no new progress to report on my Baldwin's. In fact, my modeling has taken a backset due to a few factors:
1. Available time/inclination.
2. Other interests (means I have to choose between the interests in regards to point 1 above!)
3. I railroad for a living and (for me) that does detract from the hobby of model trains.
4. I lost $500 on a good-faith purchase of S scale decals from Oddballs Decals that were never delivered. This has taken the wind out of my sails, too.
The biggest blow in regards to #4 is that I had ordered pretty much all the decals I would ever need for my KC Lines theme. Since Oddballs Decals is now out of business... I'm really back to square one as to how to proceed. Oddballs was the only source for the liveries ordered. Hate to spend money all over again with another supplier when I'm already out $500! To complicate this issue further, for the most part all the decals would have to be custom decals. (Oddballs was THE source for such things at the KCT, Frisco, Katy, Missouri Pacific, etc, etc. In otherwords: ALL the KC area railroads!)
So, that sort of catches you up to date.
Andre
