    Good morning from cloudy, cold, snowy and windy Northeast Ohio!

    Here are my completed models for the week!

    Alpha Models import of a PRR Class N8 Cabin Car. Not much modeling involved, painted the car with Scalecoat PRR Freight Car Red and Black paints then lettered with Champ Decals.

    Next, IMWX 1937 AAR Boxcar kit, with Yarmouth Models Sill Steps in place of the kit supplied plastic ones. Car was painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Speedwitch Media decals. Car was in general service on the NH, many were eventually sold to other railroads as the financial condition of the NH deteriorated.

    New Haven U25b and C-425 painted in the bankruptcy scheme going by the main yard of the Strongsville Model Railroad club with a general freight!

    I built painted detailed decaled and weathered these Atlas, Frisco Alco's a few years ago, The RS1 had the engineers side handrails modified and additional brake valve gear added above the walkway per prototype images and the stack was extended among other modifications.

    The S2 had some of the same mods plus some more done, those decals on the end of the cab were a real challenge. Wrapping that chain around some hooks I attached to the frame was another challenge.

    Broke out this locomotive tonight. It needs a new tender built, but the grandson was over and full of questions, so out she came!

    Thank you very much. In fact, it was hard work every night. I'll doublecheck it again with a laser. Then it can start with Staging Yard.

    Wow!:)

    That's going to be a lot of trains in the space you have. Nicely spread out. I like the scenery elements already placed (temporarily I presume).

    Keep at it!(y)

    @Mike
    Many thanks. No, there will be very few trains. There is only one double-track main line across the Canadian Rockies. along the Fraser River. Less is more.
    The landscape elements have no meaning yet. I just needed space to build.

    I think this might be interesting to start its own thread here on the Nscale page start?
