    Better late than never, I finished up a couple of cars today!

    [​IMG]

    Intermountain PS1 Boxcar Kit, substituted A-Line metal sill steps for the plastic ones in the kit, painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Mask Island Decals. Original car was built in 1964 and modeled in its as delivered paint scheme.

    This is an Intermountain PS1 Boxcar Kit, used the moderinzation parts with the short ladders and walkover platform, A-Line Sill Steps, painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Oddballs Decals. The original car was built in the 50's and modernized in 1977 removing the roofwalk along with the other changes. This is why it has a COTS label and ACI plate attached.

    Thanks for looking!

    Got this guy up and functional this weekend, now on to the finish work and details. I tried some different speakers, and they still crackle with the bass sounds, so am going to change it back to a TCS 1/2 inch round one. I have had very satisfactory service from them and sound.
    This loco will become a CNW J-class Mike, #2362.

    Plane and train
    The POLB (Port of Lynchbany Bay Railroad) leased an New Mexican Railrunner for shuttle service between the museums airfield and Lynchbanys trainstation and municipal airport.
    For the Airshow nearly all in the US airworthy Japan WW2 fighter arrived. Today they will be videotaped from all sides, using an replica of an German Compass Compensating Platform.

    The Railrunner is parked for the next days on an nearly abandoned track near the airfield.
    in the next months an investor will construct warhouses on this area - reactivating the tracks.

    sorry - a little bit of storytelling .-)

    Bye
