After I kit bashed a "tool" car for my UP excursion train I found out that one was available at Shapeways. Oh well, story of my life.
One of my favorite pictures! Pennsy N1sa 2-10-2, with a coal drag going up the hill. The Pennsy used these monsters to haul ore from the docks on Lake Erie to the steel mills in Piitsburgh, Wheeling and Youngstown. On the return trip they hauled coal from the mines in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Southern Ohio to the docks on Lake Erie where the coal was sent to power plants and factories on the upper Great Lakes. These were the first engines to be gotten rid of when dieselazation started in earnest. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
Me too Russell, I may look up the Shapeways unit, just for grins, this one was most likely more economical................. I just could not wait for ConCor to do this foobie, so I made it one of my fantasy schemes......... As always, have fun and thanks for looking, Carl
A mechanic looks over a lady's car that obviously has a serious problem, at the busy Mobil station in Davidsville. John
Somebody mentioned a foobie?! Yeah when Athearn released the Blue Box GE C44-9W undecorated in the late 90s, I bought a couple, and made this Rio Grande unit. To show size, that's a GE 44 tonner next to it.
Personally, I'd love to have either the '55 Chevy or the '48 Ford Ragtop. My wife, however, would almost certainly prefer the red Cadillac.
