    Good morning from cloudy and cold Northeast Ohio!

    Still no painting done this week but more progress on kits.

    Finally got around to finishing the Rail Yard Models PC G47 Gondola.

    Added the hand grabs, brake wheel, and brake wheel platform.

    [​IMG]

    Finished car with the parts from the 10th level of hell, adding all the tie down loops on the top chord of the sides.

    [​IMG]

    Also built an Atlas FMC 5077 Double Center Door Box, that will be painted and decaled for the WP.

    [​IMG]

    About 75% complete with a IMRC 4 Bay Canadian Grain Hopper, the Plano Metal Roofwalk will be the last item added before painting.

    Finally a blast from the past, a pair of C430's with a train of Flexi-Flow trailers on flatcars.

    Thanks for looking!

    Awesome pictures this week!

    Continuing the series of "nighttime downtown" shots, this is Johnstown, at the end of the Johnstown Branch line where the track hugs the cliffs and a Pacific Coast Shay is used for mixed trains on this line. The freight station is in the background, and the depot in left foreground. Blue building is a jiu-jistsu business that my son has, hence the "bare" look.

    So far we've seen Hannah Vista, Baumgardner Hills, Kathy's Springs, Sarah's Valley, Franklin, and Johnstown. One more town left and that's Davidsville, coming next week.

    Hardcoaler, Time to move on. Back is shot and I start chemo next Friday. I sell out so my wife won't left to do it. Pictures will continue until my birthday on October 25 it is a Friday this year. I'll be 75.

    Sorry to hear of your challenges. Thank you for sharing your artistry with us over the years and opening your layouts to tours. A couple buddies and and I visited back in 2009(I think) to view the N scale layout.
