• 1 Proto 2000 SD-45 that needs stripped for N&W
  
• 1 undec Kato GP-35 to HH for N&W
  
• 1 undec Atlas RS-11 for River Run
  
• 1 undec Atlas RS-36 for ?
  
• 1 undec Stewart HH C-630 for N&W
  
• 1 undec Front Range GP-9 for NKP
  
• 1 undec Atlas HH GP-40 for N&W

now, an entire layout..LOL

I just packed up a
GP40HH
2 SD35's HH's
a GEVO undec

Those being the bigger projects.
The finishing of a lease engine also that got packed up.

Matt, that GP40 would probably look good rolling down the HO Frankfort District! LOL

2 GP30 (PC & RDG) both to receive CR stencils
3 GP40-2 (one CR blue and 2 RDG units to receive CR stencils) [the 2 RDG units are preorderd, so I'm waiting]
1 SD35 (CNJ to receive CR stencils)
1 E8 (CR black, to be striped and become blue for my planned OCS)
1 RS11 (CR blue, but waiting to get Smokey valley handrails!)
2 E33 (one CR blue and one PC unit to get CR stencils)

and I better don't start with all the rolling stock, vehicles and building to be done ... it's enough to keep me busy till 2010!!!!!

What a devious way to get us to reveal our shortcomings, Randy!!

Normally I only hear that one from my wife, for example, "When are you going to finish that..............?(fill in the blank space), but it doesn't always apply to model building. I have a whole closet that is stuffed with "back burner" projects. However, it does make it interesting to pull out something I haven't touched in ten years and say "Gosh, I thought I lost this one".

Another category would be , what is your oldest back-burner project. Mine is a 15-ton scratchbuilt crane that I started (and re-started many times since) in 1971, which I think may be a record of some sort. I still intend to finish it, but whenever I hit a snag, I box her back up and work on something else. Oh well, variety is still the spice of life!!

Everything lol. I have finals this week so everything takes a back burner. After this week, all projects will be restarted though.

[MONONC420]

NS GP38AC, BN GP39E, two NS D40-9CW's, CIND GP30, HLCK SD40, UP SD40, CN SD75, UP SD70M, two BNSF patch B40-8W's, and an NS SD9M, thats all I can think of.

Lets see whats on the burner,

3 R&GS SD50's
1 RG&S SD60
1 KP SD40L-2
2 KP SD50's
2 KP SD45-2's
4 KP SD40-2's

1 KP SD75I
1 EG SD75I
1 CIOR SD40
1 KP SD60M
1 KP SD70MAC
1 GR SD40-2

All these are in some sort of detail level at this time.........

[DRLOCO]

good idea for a topic.
I'll add the things I can think of off the top of my head:
3 GE44 tonners that need details/decoders
2 GE 70tonners that need the same.
1 Railpower convert CF7 project that will probably never be done now that AThearn re-released them. (needed one as a grain terminal switcher)
About 40 freightcars and 30 structures.
I didn't have a layout for 5 years, and I'm just now getting around to building one, but I kept buying things in the interim!

Hey, Jim, why don't I send you MY Bowser Challenger (which is in ten thousand pieces) so you can do two at once?

Sure, mine's not to far a head of that

Hello all.
Unfortunately all my HO modeling is on the back burner until I sort out my shed, not to mention finishing the revitalisation of my current project car. Although this does give me an opportunity to acquire all the detail parts I may ever need for the HO locos et al.
Perhaps one day I may even continue my N scale layout which was put on the back burner to build a HO!
