HO Scale Diesel and Rolling Stock Weathering and Detailing

I have been receiving a large volume of requests lately for various services and it may take longer than normal to return your e-mails or phone calls. Keep in mind this is a one man operation. I do all of the modeling, photography, video, website updates, packing, shipping, and responses to e-mails. Each customer is highly valued and excellent customer service is at the top of my priority list. If you do not hear back from me, please e-mail or call again. I am NOT ignoring you. I am just one man doing the work of two or three and sometimes e-mails get lost in the bottom of my e-mail box.

Sort and search all of my locomotives by many parameters here (Best viewed via Internet Explorer). I have the spreadsheet (version 1.1) loaded as a web page presorted by Railroad, Manufacturer, Model, Electronics (analog, DCC, Sound), and by installation photo (if there is one or not). Each page has links to the web page for that locomotive at the far right.
