Seems I've lost a lot of time this year, it's almost December and I've not posted in a while.

Seems that other things have taken most of my attention as of late. Not much has been done and my little side business has been booming; I guess enough folks want model train parts to build something unique. That is after all good news for the hobby.

The Arizona Southern Railroad has been busy acquiring ballast material from the good folks at Arizona Rock and Mineral. We've also sourced a few of the old MDC 30' flat cars and their lower sides that make a gondola for use on one very light railed section of track of the El Cobre Branchline. We have four so far, a couple more would be nice, but the prices are getting nuts.




The picture above is one of the cars we recently acquired. Sort of rough around the edges, but nothing some TLC and a little time can not fix.

Well, thanks for looking in, sorry for the longer than usual absence, things are not like they once were for any of us, and it shows.


Enjoy Your Trains,

John Huey

  1. Hi John, I just discovered your blog and have enjoyed reading about the Arizona Southern. I live in the desert just outside of Douglas, AZ. Imagine my surprise to see that Douglas was your Southern terminal! Looking forward to future posts,

  2. Welcome Michael, funny thing, I have not had many replies yet and was about to give up on this. The powers that be removed all of those following just about every blog. Sounds like the same mentality in charge of censoring and downgrading life are in charge here too. They don't want this platform to exist evidently, so they make it less fun for those who do it. Write again whenever you want. I'm on face book too and also have a message board that's almost dead too.
