Got some work done also this week along with a number of projects in progress. Tangent RTR car that came in basic gray paint, added the flag placard and decaled the car with Mark Vaughn's Wabash decals. Original car was built in 1962 and I don't know how long it lasted in Wabash paint. There are no known closeup pictures of the car, so I had to go by the diagram that came with the decals. The only known picture of this car is a pair of them shot from a distance on the Detroit River Ferry. Intermountain Railway 5283 CF FMC Boxcar Kit, painted with Floquil GTW Blue and Platinum Mist Paints, then lettered with Herald King Decals. The prototype cars were built in early 1975 but were transferred to the BAR in 1976 with the demise of the MILW Road. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
Those MILW boxes in blue are rarely modeled. A quick side note: They may have gone elsewhere in 1976, but the MILW had no actual demise. It abandoned west of Miles City in March of 1980, but continued to exist until merged into the Soo Line in 1986.
Jim- Edited in the picture for you. Just click on the tiny icon which is "Image" and paste the photo link. The tiny icon will show by that name, simply from hovering your mouse pointer over it. It looks like a mountain shadow in a small rectangle, in the row of icons above the message box.
Candy, I always look forward to your contributions. However I have to take exception to this one. Hudson and Packard were fierce competitors to the very end when both marques died untimely deaths in the late 50's. OK, tongue having been removed from cheek, you once again have given us creative beauty. BTW, I love it that you have relegated "Men" to the back of the building, while providing your young lady convenient and quick facility access.
Wolf, that is a well planned industrial complex with ample area for expansion, a credit to the Economic Development Commission planners.
I am duly impressed by the accurate modeling done by Candy with this service station... Impressed is a mild word, BTW. And I'm quite amused by Hytec's predicament - which illustrates the principle where if one raises one's foot high enough, it becomes lodged in one's mouth...
