An oldie from the archives. It being so cold lately I thought I would drag out some snow on the Nn3 diorama.
Finished up an Intermountain 40' PS1 kit, painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and Black Paints, then lettered with Mask Island Decals. The CNW purchased thousands of 40' box cars and used them until the 1990's hauling grain out of lightly used branchlines that could not use the 100 Ton Covered Hoppers. Tangent 52'6" Bethlehem Steel Gondola, painted with Scalecoat II Black Paint and lettered with Tichy Decals. Also installed a pipe load that I picked up off of E-bay as a load. Bethlehem steel built many gons for the eastern railroads and were noted for their toughness, many lasted in service like this one built in 1952 and still in use in Conrail years. The Wabash picked up a number of CNJ gons as the railroad downsized in the 60's. My SP general freight powered by an SD45T-2 and SD45 with elephant ears, on the Stongsville Model Railroad layout. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
Great shot Russell! Just remember to not eat the yellow snow! Love the SP train Rick! That's another fantastic set f F's Wolf!
Snow seems to be in the theme this week so here is my 23 year old (still exists) NTRAK module. Approx. 1,100 feet of fiber optics in the skyboard, house, and trailer.
