GREENLIGHT INTERMODAL.INFO HOME PAGE Last updated 5-09-08
WELCOME TO GREENLIGHT INTERMODAL.INFO
The goal of this site is to provide the N scale Intermodal modeler with a One-stop source for information, News, Product announcements & reviews, Prototype information and a connection to anything related to N scale Intermodal modeling. Including a listing of sources of articles on how to improve existing models, how to kitbash needed models, available stand-ins, Tips & techniques and articles & web sites that will help us to model the Intermodal scene in N scale. It is and will be a 'work in progress'. There is an all N scale Intermodal forum (button at top right) for discussions.
NEW tabs have been added for future webpages for the next major expansion of this site. To better help us model, the web pages will highlight important areas related to Intermodal modeling. The present plan is to have the following three sections on each decade page ; 1) Trailers & Containers; 2) Yards, load/unload equipment & methods; and 3) Power and ETC.
These are preliminary - Your suggestions and input are needed and welcomed.
We need volunteers to help gather and assemble the information for the different Tabs/decades. If you can contribute, please consider helping to provide this information to share.
This site is hosted by a godaddy.com server for long term continuity and is presently sponsored by The N Scale Intermodal Store . Except for sponsorship information & link, the site will be free of commercial listings, ads, etc. Manufacturers, clubs, and individuals who produce N Scale Intermodal related products should send New Product information (not the product) to questions@greenlightintermodal.info for inclusion in the NEW PRODUCTS sections. This includes anything related to N scale Intermodal modeling. [Trains, trucks, ships, buildings accessories, details, etc.]
N scale modelers, have wished for a One-Stop source of information like this for many years. I hope that you will contribute to help make it the best and most useful source available, on N SCALE INTERMODAL modeling.

Your input is requested and will be needed to help provide a complete listing of the available information that is on the internet and in print form. I hope that you will share Your Tips & Suggestions to help make our Intermodal models perform better and run smoother. Please email us with your suggested listings and to submit articles: questions@greenlightintermodal.info. Several modelers have already given permission to post their 'Tips & improvement' article links. The listings will be an on-going project. So, when you can't recall where you read the article on improving the MDC Husky stack car, (as an example) you can just go to Greenlightintermodal.info and look it up.
