Some old ones from me this weekend. A maintenance of way train parked on the siding in front of the Visco Chemical Company and the Imperial Cotton Gin.
“Dessert in the Diner.” Stragglers in the diner need to be finishing their dessert because the Santa Fe Texas Chief is crossing the Suter Bay Causeway, less than ten minutes away from ending its journey at Karankawa Union Station on an island on the Texas coast (my N-scale version of Galveston). I posed this shot to show off my Kato diner, my newest passenger addition. No actual figures dining yet. The causeway section is not completed and not installed on my layout. Some cars have MTL and compatible knuckle couplers, some have Rapidos. The oblique angle hides gaps between cars that don’t couple. I have a kit for a segregation-era divided streamline coach, yet unbuilt. Otherwise the train is about complete. F7 ABBA set is out of the picture at right end. I would have to attach another section and more background to show it w/o running out of background.
OK Candy, what is going on here? Are they dancing in the street and the guy is dipping the girl or is he just adjusting the head on a manikin? Or maybe its like cow tipping, girl tipping?
Sue and Barbara are playing with their dog in front of the Bail Bondsman. Binky and Linda are showing off the new moves they learned in swing dance class while Hank and Joey are enjoying Linda's up skirt view
Finally got some cars done yesterday, so here they are! Assembled and painted an Intermountain 10,000 Gal Tank Car kit, painted it with Scalecoat II Black and lettered with Champ Decals. After Athearn announced their NYC 40' Early Bird Foobie, I had to finish this correct 40' Early Bird Car. Started with a Branchline 40' Kit with 8' Door, substituted an 8' Front Range Door from the scrap box. They NYC Despatch Shops did this with 1937 40' Boxcars in the 50's and lettered them for the Merchants Despatch Service. Car was painted with Scalecoat II Reefer Yellow and Boxcar Red, and lettered with Greg Komar Decals. Note the car was designated an RB instead of the more common RBL as it did not have installed racks for lading protection. Walther's 50' NACC RB, note is is labeled an RB as it did not have lading control devices, painted with Floquil Signal Red and lettered with Herald King Decals. Thanks for looking! Rick J
