Am a DC guy - use Peco turnouts 100% (with Atlas Code 83 flex track). Like them for being power routing-do have to add jumpers from time to time. Perhaps their quality comes from where they are manufactured-UK vs. China!

@@AllenCNW441 I went with Micro-Engineering turnouts when I started building the layout. But actually had to exchange several for defects including overuse of glue during the manufacturing process. That was right before the company was sold. But unless something changes in quality, I plan to stay with Peco.

@@rickzander4859 Found the easiest way is to create a template with soldering wiring. Basically you carefully shape the wire along the curves and within the curve. You can then place the wire on the foam and carefully cut along the wire. Before gluing down the foam, you can trim as needed. (Wheel spacing for example)

Always enjoy seeing what you are doing with structures. Mine have a long way to go. On the bigfoot story, I read something the other day that bigfoot is an alien species. If you subscribe to the idea that we are not the the only inhabited planet I guess it's possible. I like the idea of a G scale or an S scale one would be closer to being in scale.

Glad you enjoyed the video! Fifty of these cars were built in 1962 at the Missouri Pacific Car Shops in DeSoto, Missouri. They were built as mail-express boxcars assigned to passenger trains. With the end of federal mail contracts in 1967, these cars were reassigned. A few stayed in revenue service but were limited to carrying light loads such as styrofoam sheets or cotton bales. The others were assigned to MOW service or sent to the scrap yard.
