Good morning from cloudy and cold Northeast Ohio, temps in the teens and wind chill below "0". Finally started work on some car kits, got a couple done and working on two other ones before firing up the air brush. One Front Range and one Branchline kit complete, ready for painting. An Intermountain kit and an Eastern Car Works kit in the process of assembling. A pair of SD45's with some of my new Scale Trains PS4785 Covered Hoppers. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
The last two weeks we saw downtown Davidsville and Sarah's Valley; tonight we see Baumgardner Hills. This town is actually in N scale (the rest of the layout is HO scale) in a corner above the layout for forced perspective with 1.5 volt bulbs. The road to the right leads down to the depot, which will be a another series after the downtown series of pictures.
A shot from one of my Ntrak modules that I have not had out for quite awhile. Getting it ready for a show that is coming up in 4 weeks.
Yup, fries and a root beer were my things to get there. Loved the fries but never was too much into their burgers for some reason. I recall the larger take out root beer came in a cone shaped container of some sort. This kit is from Randy Brown Models (formally Arrowhead Models). Many A&W's had covered drive up spots and would not be hard to scratch build and added to this kit in a spot with a bit more room.
This is an older photo of the D&RGW 3048m the only GP35 on the roster to receive the "Billboard" lettering. It received this paint job after a wreck, and was rebuilt by EMD.
Yeah. I absolutely remember that cone shaped container. It held a quart. Loved the coney dogs, too. Our A&W also offered great fried mushrooms. Very nice scene and the vehicles set the period nicely.
A couple SD35's working the end of the line at Finchley on my freemon based set up. Plus a switcher working the classification tracks on the new yard module set.
