    Good morning from cloudy, cold and snowy Northeast Ohio!

    Here is what I finished this week!

    Another IMRC 1958CF Covered Hopper kit, these are so nice that I did not have to add anything to the car. Painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red #2 and lettered with CMR decals. The Shoreline serviced a sand pit in Rockwood, MI where they picked up loads of high mineral content sand every day to service the glass industry in Toledo, OH.

    Next an Atlas 50' ACF Precision Design Boxcar kit, painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red #2 and lettered with Herald King Decals. This car was one of 25 cars renumbered and repainted from the original 154000 group for special services.

    Its a cold early January morning at the Blue Front Bakery in Weir City. The crew is in the back baking away. A warm stove will greet customers come sunrise. Happy New Year All! -Bob T.

    Looks beautiful! I love this thread. A square hatch covered hopper! I almost had to get a napkin. :eek: Is Weir pronounced "wire" or "weer" or something else?

    Weir as in "Weird" without the "d"

    Especially when said eye isn't stinging from smoke. No danger of that happening in that nice engine!

    More amazing models. The ladder and other details are fantastic.(y) :notworthy:

    Somehow I haven't been able to shake that extra "d"... so I'm just plain weird.:whistle:

    The D&RGW bought one Russell Snow Plow. Numbered X-67. It was used to clear snow on Rio Grande's main lines...as well as branch lines.

    It is a photo that I took. I had it printed out as a poster at the local drug pharmacy, laminated it to a sheet of foam core project board and then sprayed it with dull coat to get rid of the glossy finish. I have a few different ones that I alternate on my photo diorama.
