Projects
Update: June 2008
Where are we at? Maybe that's the wrong
question to ask but here are the updates. I am in the
process of settling into my new home with my family and
the workshop is almost back up and running. Once we are
settled in, the wife has allowed me to resume modeling.
The pages on the SD40-2 project are almost complete to
upload and all I need to do is start photographing the
model portion of the build. My apologies to those who
have so ambitiously awaited the project kick-off, but
all in all, family comes first. One thing I can assure
you, the wait will be worth it. Please stay tuned for
the July update! My goal is to update this at least once
a month, if not twice a month once projects start
rolling.
Another project which will
commence will be the construction of Hackney, Kansas on
Free-mo modules. For those of you unfamiliar with
Hackney, it's located on the Arkansas City Sub between
Winfield and Arkansas City. You can click
here for some
additional information in the meantime.
With my re-location to
Cherryvale, I have found a local model railroad club
which is in need of a model of the Cherryvale Santa Fe
Depot. I have decided to scratch build this structure as
well and the construction will also be featured here. I
know you are wondering how am I doing all of this? Well,
quite simply my wife is being deployed to Afghanistan so
I will have lots of extra time to devote to modeling
while she is gone. So stay tuned!

Update: April 2008
After a long wait, Railflyer finally shipped
the walkway module and all I can say is WOW! I haven't
received the full order yet, but it's on the way. As
soon as the parts arrive, I will start on the SD40-2
project and begin posting the build so keep checking
back!

First of all,
let me thank you for visiting this website. Website
material will be added as time allows. For those of you
who know me personally, you know I have been very busy
with my new job and with my son Jacy being born. Please
continue to be patient as projects develop. I am in the
process of starting up the Santa Fe Prototypes Store.
What I will be offering will be detail parts from
manufacturers such as Cannon & Company and Railflyer
Model Prototypes.
The first project will be an
SD40-2 built from Cannon & Co. and Railflyer Model
Prototypes parts. What I am waiting on at this point are
the parts from Railflyer Model Prototypes. I will be
adding the beginning of the project within the next
couple of weeks.
There will also be additional
pages added from other well known Santa Fe modelers so
keep checking back.
