    Good morning from windy, cold and snowy Northeast Ohio!

    Got a couple of projects completed this week!

    First up an Athearn 50' Outside Post PC&F RBL, painted with Scalecoat II Orange, Black and Silver paint then lettered with a mixture of Mask Island and Herald King Decals. This car came up from a 2015 post in the MFCL where somebody asked about Orange RBL's on the DT&I, and I replied there were never any Orange RBL's on the DT&I just yellow ones. A few more posts and Jim Hediger chimes in about the Orange RBL's purchased for servicing the Hubelein Licquor Warehouse in Allen Park, MI. Seems due to the loading all being done inside the warehouse that was surrounded by chainlink fence topped with razor wire and the RR police always watching the valuble cars very few photos were ever taken of these cars. Managed to find one so I could piece together the decals for this car.

    Next a couple of PRR G39 Ore Jimmies to add to the fleet, these were replacements for the worn out GLca and H21 Hoppers that were previously used to move iron ore from the port areas to the steel mills. Cars were painted with Scalecoat II Black paint and lettered with K4 decals.

    Thanks for looking!

    Wow, a party car. That would have been a desirable target for the crime community.

    I believe this is the first time you've shown us your W-H-O-L-E system. It's phenomenal and gorgeous. :eek:
