    Good morning from sunny and warm Northeast Ohio!

    Here is what I got done this week.

    First is another Stewart G39 kit, painted with Scalecoat II Black paint and lettered with Middle Division decals. The PRR built these cars to replace using their coal hoppers in iron ore service and with the sealed bottoms less loss of product through the hopper doors.

    Next a Proto 2000 50' Boxcar kit, painted with Scalecoat II ATSF Mineral Brown paint and lettered with Microscale decals. Here is both sides of the car as they were different, used in general service.

    Finally, a modified 40' Trailer, painted with Scalecoat II White and Silver Paints and lettered with Highball Graphics Decals, I was trying to do more trailers in other than railroad lettering.

    Finally, a pair of Scaletrains C39-8 engines hauling a general freight, notice the two new Scaletrains PS 5820CF Covered Hoppers among a couple of Rapido Procor Covered Hoppers all in plastic pellet service. While in front one of my club members RS-1's is switching industries in Thurd on the Strongsville club layout.

    Thanks for looking!

    Messing around with a hollow core door, literally! Who knows how or if anything comes of it? Having fun though at this point! As you can see it's a mess at this point!

    So I was moving stuff off the Hollow Core door to clean it and maybe try to paint later. All of a sudden I thought, well that's kind of cool. An N Scale gas station on a printer. Photo opt for sure :) And it just kind of happened! Guess what vehicles those are? For some strange reason I think it looks cool? Of course it won't be there long, or will it?

    They are RPS vehicles of course :)

    @rjthomas909 Sweet GP18! Oodles of sharp details and nice to know there's a toilet in there too... one more reason not to chop those high short hoods!;)

    @dti406 Santa Fe all the way! :) And an excellent truck trailer.(y)

    @in2tech Lots of pick-em-up trucks waiting for gas at the very nice gas station.:cool:

    Headend and tail-end shots of the Muskeg Mixed leaving Edmonton for Ft McMurray, with an old Northern Alberta coach still hanging on.

    I know I am a little late. I have been tacking down roadbed and track, and running wire this weekend.
    PRR GP7 (Proto 2000) spots a car at the cannery.

    Wish I could figure out Photoshop so I could add sky to the background.

    I had one but it disappeared after a recent reorganization of the basement.

    BEAUTIFUL! and thanks. Some time you are going to have to tell/show me how you did it.
