Thank you to everyone who made our Weathering Clinic on Saturday such a success! We had a great time hosting you and had a larger turnout than we had hoped for. A BIG thanks also to Kadee, Tangent & Horizon Hobby for donating the cars for this clinic. Below are pictures of those who won the cars that were weathered during the clinic, we also raffled off a starter set of Pan Pastels. For more pictures of the clinic head on over to our Facebook page (@whistlestoptrains.pdx).


Miss the clinic but really wanted to attend? Keep an eye on our Newsletter and Facebook page, we are planning to have another in January.

In the past week or so we have had several new items come into our store. Check out Athearns latest release of BNSF GP7U in the Prime for Grime Series in three distinctive Road number specific versions. All of these locomotives are former Santa Fe engines. On the Santa Fe a 'U' was given to locomotives that were rebuilt instead of an 'R'. Comes in both DCC Ready & DCC+Sound.


Also out from Athearn are the Chicago Northwestern GP9R Rebuilds by the C&NW, features the late C&NW Colors. The C&NW began a rebuild program in 1971 for their GP7's and GP9's. An 'R' was added to distinguish that these locomotives had gone through the program. DCC Ready & DCC+Sound available.
