Managed to complete the two 60' Auto Parts Boxcars that I was working on last week! Athearn 60' Berwick DPD Boxcar Kit, painted with Floquil Platinum Mist and Scalecoat II Boxcar Red, then lettered with Oddballs Decals. Car was assigned to the N&W at Melvindale, MI for shipment of small parts to various final assembly plants. Con-Cor (Ex Robbins Rails) 60' Greenville Boxcar Kit, painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Mark Vaughn's decals. Car was assigned to the Van Dyke Transmission plant served out of the yard in Warren Mi. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
Here is a southbound early Friday morning. The crew wants to get the day over soon, as they have a long weekend coming.

Here's SP's Bicentennial Caboose. It actually was numbered 1776 and came in to the Roseville car shop for repairs. The shop crews painted it in Bicentennial colours.
Here is an image I like to show. This N Trak module no longer exists and the scene is now on club layout.................... My favorite train..... Granted, these units are more appropriate for some other holiday, but on Memorial Day weekend I think they fit right in..................... Hope you enjoyed the look see ! always have fun ! Carl
Nice... awesome shot. Even though I've spent my modeling life pursuing the transition era C&O, I've often toyed w/ the idea of modeling the Chessie in the 70's or the Chessie/CSX transition era as you have nicely depicted. Thanks for posting the picture.
