    Good morning from sunny and hot Northeast Ohio!

    I did manage to get something done what with all that is going on with me right now.

    Another Kadee PS 2003CF Covered Hopper painted with Scalecoat II MOW Gray Paint and lettered with Ann Arbor Historical Society Decals. Car were the first to come after the DT&I acquisition and reflected their lettering practices. They were initially used for hauling cement out of the giant Dundee MI plant then were placed in service when the Ann Arbor got a contract to supply sand out of Yuma, MI for use in the Ford Engine Casting plant in Brookpark, OH.

    Next an IMRC 57' PC&F Mechanical Reefer kit, painted with Scalecoat II White and Armout Yellow paints and lettered with Herald King Decals. This car was lettered showing the split up of the PFE Reefer Fleet between the SP and UP. I modeled this car with the Keystone Cushion Underframe as most of those cars went to the UP. Used for shipping California produce to the midwest and east coasts.

    @dti406 I do love you single car models. Lots of really good stuff - which I wish I had the time and patience to duplicate in n scale.

    Last night, I finished up the basic scenery around the old Cornwall Bridge CT station, which is now a private residence on both my N-scale layout and the prototype Housatonic RR. I got the old concrete station platform finished and added some more vegetation in the area. Cornwall final 1.jpg Cornwall final 2.jpg

    Mike, You've created an extraordinary system. I'm also pleased to see an arch of the Tunkhannock Viaduct against the left wall.

    I have loved that paint scheme since we used to see those grinding up Tennessee Pass.

    Your model rivals the beauty of the real thing, a sort of small scale Tunkhannock. I see the NYS&W's mainline in the foreground in the photo below. So sad to think that at one time the DL&W, NYS&W and L&NE filled the valley with the sounds of railroading and that today there's no track whatsoever here. :(

    I took this atop the viaduct in July 1981 shortly before CR lifted the rails.
