Re: A Trip on the EBT
Nice modeling! Even having seen this in person, this is a great view and shows things I didn't fully realize. Scenery and structures are coming along very nicely - well done!! - Digger RGS history - http://www.rgsrr.info/ Blog - http://rgsrr.blogspot.com/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/stevesrgs/

I've tried the Vallejo Red Leather bUT it's a bit off. I'm not good with mixing paints so was hoping someone had already done the footwork on this. If not, time to practice mixing! Mike Conder

Thanks for letting me know, Steve. I'll put the word out to the very few friends I have who model HOn3!

Re: Relettering Blackstone Coach
Mike Conder
Hmm ... makes me wonder if anybody has pinned down a similar Tamiya formula for the Blackstone red passenger cars? A friend in England found a bottle of solvent-based red that's a dead ringer, but I've lost it and don't remember the name (maybe Railmatch LM Lake or LM Red?) Mike Conder

Look in the messages tab for Matching BS Coach Green or follow the link below. Since this post I have used the formula on a LaBelle parlor car and am satisfied that even on a wood car it's a good match to Blackstone's color.

Re: LED headlight
Mick Moignard
I’ve seen this issue before with Blackstone K27 locos. A friend has one that blows the headlight LED occasionally. I just pull out (gently) the circuit board from the headlight and replace the LED. Think I’ve done it twice already. I guess the issue is elsewhere in the loco electronics or more likely that one of the wires is damaged on its way thru the loco. One place for that is actually where the two wires to the light pass by the gearbox and are held under clips on it. If one of those wires gets nicked and squashed it might short to track power some where on the chassis and that overwhelms the LED. I’ve not explored that far. Another possibility is an occasional short to another wire in the loco/tender plug area, or if it is a first run loco, that the braided wires used in the plug are breaking down and shorting occasionally. All fixable tho, with time and care.
