Good morning from Sunny and Warm Northeast Ohio! Even with working on another bowling tournament and other stuff this week managed to get some modeling done. First Up, an old Details West Blue Island Reefer kit, Evans built serveral thousand of these cars and they ended up in the grocery and lumber shipping business. The Ralston cars did not last long in their livery and ended up with C&NW reporting marks. Car was painted with Scalecoat II ATSF Red and Silver Paints and then lettered with Herald King Decals. Next, the SP & SSW had serveral thousand of these FMC built cars on the roster for transporting lumber from the Pacific Northwest across the country. IMRC Kit, painted with Scalecoat II Tuscan Red and Silver Paints and lettered with Herald King Decals. A Pair of SP & SSW SD's with a general freight running on the Strongsville Club layout. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
That's the kind of steam coal train hauler I am working toward. Yellow Dogs! (?) I liked the truss bridge. We ship lumber!
It had better have retro-rockets, otherwise it's going to t-bone that livestock trailer! No wonder the kids get off the bus white as sheets!

Randy Stahl brought his amazing 150 car Milwaukee Road ore train to do a run on my N-Scale Housatonic RR layout. He body-mounted Microtrains Truescale couplers on every car, with 2 conversion cars having regular MT couplers to couple to the locomotives and caboose. He decaled and weathered every car and there are no duplicate road numbers. All wheels are low profile and are mostly FVM with some ESM as well. Here it can be seen running across the steel trestle over Letourneau Gorge on my layout. At this point there were 143 cars on the train, with an overall length of 21 feet, not counting the two GP9's pulling the train.
It took a good 15 minutes for the two of us to get them on the tracks and coupled. It was worth the effort!
