    Thanks John. I bought the B40 at a good price, but of course I could not just have one Santa Fe loco..... now have four, just because I like them! But I really must get the cab roof equipment fitted.

    This is an unusual bit of reality. Nice touch.

    Nice! Are you going to have a "Fund Raiser" to get the old girl running? LOL! JMS

    Need to work out what it will take to get it running again, I hope the boiler is still ok or the AW could have BIG bills, might need to be shipped over to MC's Lewistown shops for the major work.

    That Santa Fe boxcar looks like it is in need of some work!

    Maybe it finally reached the threshold of visible rust versus paint, and..........

    Alan,
    As always these photos look great! Always impressed and inspired by your work!

    I'm sure you've been asked a thousand times, but what do you use for your gravel lots? Would it work for N scale? Also related, how do you secure it without any clumping? I tried making a small "gravel" parking area this weekend with fine ballast but as soon as I dropped some Woodland Scenics glue on it, it started clumping. It says it contains a wetting agent, but perhaps I need to use something else in addition?

    Again, great work!

    Better tell those painters to hustle. I hear stormy weather is coming.
