Scratch built 6-6-4 Pullman sleeper that I built about a year before Kato released the same model. I seem to have a knack for doing that.
Russell, you are not alone!!!!!!! Managed to finish a couple of cars this week! Walthers PS 4427 Kit, being used as a stand in for the Bethlehem 4452 CF Covered Hopper Kit, Replaced the plastic Roofwalk with a Plano one and added an airline under the side sill. Painted with Scalecoat II UP Covered Hopper Gray and lettered with Islington Station Products Decals. Car was leased to the Ann Arbor by Chicago Freight Cars in 1964 and the Cots Label and ACI plate were added later. Car was used for hauling Malt from Michigan to the Schlitz Brewery in Milwaukee via the Car Ferry across Lake Michigan. Exactrail PS 4427CF Covered Hopper kit, painted with my Floquil Mixture for Anderson's Blue/Gray Paint and lettered with Herald King Decals. Car was built in 1964 and after coming off lease was sold to the Anderson's in 1974 and then repainted. Used for hauling grain between Maumee and Toledo, Ohio. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
I'm working on a new scene. A Team track with office and shack. It's in my head so you'll have to wait to see the finished scene. It's all GClaser and Blair Line.
I see Halloween is coming soon, Jim. Russell, have you considered the possibility that Kato may be spying on you? Candy, even if it's a work in progress, we can see your trademark attention to detail. I just know the final scene will be great. As for the red shoes, boys, it a reminder for all of us to put the ladies in our life up on a pedestal. They do put up with us, after all, right?
So I was playing with an LED and lit up my Coke Train. I put numbers in the number-boards, 1886, which is the year that COKE was invented. I even gave it an MU latch cover. It will eventually get handrails. So since I did this unit, I bought 100 5mm LEDs and resisters on eBay, and some 1.5mm fiber optic cable to do some EMD GP and SD units.
Warning - do not read the above post whilst drinking coffee. It could mess up your shirt and worst of all, be a horrible waste of coffee.
