Good morning from Sunny and Warm Northeast Ohio! Bowser ACF 1958 CF Covered Hopper kit painted with Scalecoat II UP Covered Hopper Gray Paint and lettered with Highball Graphic Decals. The Ann Arbor purchase a lot of these cars to service the giant Dundee MI cement plant, after the Interstate Highway boom they were transferred to the Yuma MI Sand Pit supplying the Ford Brook Park Casting plant with casting sand. McKeen Combo Door Boxcar kit, removed the poorly done frame from the car and installed a Details West Cushion Underframe in place of the frame along with Moloco Couple Pockets for ease of assembly, also installed A-Line sill steps. Car was painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and Silver Paints and lettered with Mask Island Decals. Car was used in general service on the EL. Pair of Scaletrains SD40-2's in Chessie Systems paint with a general freight train on the Strongsville Club Layout. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
Screen capture of a video of yours truly playing brakeman during a switching move in Hannah Vista's yard. Want to see the video? Yeah I know; I need more time between the cars lol.
Thank you. Oh, absolutely....cabooses are MANDATORY on my railroad! This was one of our first videos using a "green screen". Loads of fun to be able to shrink yourself down to size and in your layout!
Here is my version of Front End Friday, PRR Electric style. The first photo shows two of my Bachmann GG1's. In the second photo the GG1 on the right is another of my Bachmann's. The one on the left is my son's IHC GG1. It was a Christmas gift for him about 10 ten years ago. All the Bachmanns are DCC with sound.
The height difference between the IHC and the Bachmann model is noticeable. I have one as a long term project, but it is probably easier and about the same price in the end to buy the Bachmann one, but I have been tossing around the idea of using the chassis to build a NH EP-4. Overall great photos. Anything with a GG1 is automatically good.
Try Trainworld. They have the Bachmann GG1's on special for under $90 each. That is how I got the three I have.
Front End Friday Hers is my version................................ Same locomotive after I boogered it up....................... Be well! Carl
This is the Frisco Ft Smith Depot ready to paint the south end roof and awning. Or it's ready for the fumigation crew to start. Joe
I prefer fumigation, though with disinfectant based paint. That way you both jobs done at the same time and for the price of one.
