RE: PRSL RDC decals... this is an offshoot"project" of the PRSL HS web group.... Well worth joining as a lot of guys from the steam days share shots of PRR and Rdg steam on the PRSL.... The decals allow you to take an Undec or even an Athearn RDC if you want and do the PRSL thing. Also includes end stripes , PRSL and NJDOT "arrow" logos as they appeared towards the early 70's, and possibly the earlier wider stripes applied after 1966.

Using my new Northwest Shortline Chopper to cut strip styrene and finishing the pilots on RS-3 504. Planning on painting another RS-3 after I finish my lawn mowing.

Spent a couple hours in the barn, organizing all my back issues of MR and RMC - found my "how to build benchwork" book, for which I had been searching for a while. Also reorganized all my rolling stock - sorted into tubs by car type. Realized I need a lot more boxcars. Also spent some time in Google Sketchup working on some 3D modeling for the next sale item project.

Speaking of benchwork, this has little to do with that. Can anyone tell me what the minimum radius the Broadway/Precision Reading T-1's can handle. Manufacturer says 18", but is that for real? Obviously bigger is better, but what can they comfortably manage with falling off the rails? Track work is what I am doing this week.

Thanks
Rob
