Well...
After the threads regarding where to find foam in the San Francisco Bay Area
basically turned up not a lot of options, I finally found some.
I went to Bob's Foam Factory in Fremont, CA and they sell the blue stuff.

We are taking a break from trains for a month sooooo- see us in August.

Well, we finally realized that all along we had been "preaching to the
choir", so to speak. Digital Railroader failed to impress and gain financial

I received this e-mail message from someone (who may have a broken "Caps
Lock" key) - can anyone help?  I never heard of Model Craftsman, let alone

this kit, or is it just a case of more than one or two ...

I bought a Model Power 4-6-2 Pacific, Union Pacific #2295 with
the Vanderbuilt tender. With a little cutting and grinding I was able
to body mount a MT coupler on the tender frame. Then I installed
a Digitrax DZ-143 decoder. Nice! The pickup wires from the

Alaska Railroad blue and yellow as in the Kato SD70MAC. Any guesses which
