    Good morning from sunny and cold Northeast Ohio!

    I got some models done this week.

    [​IMG]

    IMRC 1937 Mod ARR Boxcar Kit, substituting Yarmouth Scalemodes Metal Sill Steps for the kit supplied plastic ones. Also filled in the side sill to match the prototype which had a full length sill due to the only cars of this model to have an 8' door. Car was built in 1940 and repainted to the green scheme in 1949. Painted with Scalecoat II NP Dark Green and lettered with Mask Island Decals.

    Atlas ACF 3560CF Covered Hopper Kit, replaced the roofwalk and walkover platforms with Plano Model Products. Painted with Scalecoat II MOW Gray and lettered with Herald King Decals. Car was used to transport raw gypsum to the plant in OK to be made into drywall.

    Have not been to the club for the last few weeks so I resurrected and old pictures with my Athearn GP38-2's hauling a steel coil car train.

    Thanks for looking!

    It has gotten so that if I glance at your pics I know who the modeler is before I see the name. The quality being so high. Most excellent.

    Here are a few shots that I took of another great layout that I visited in September of 2019 while at the Narrow Gauge convention in Sacramento. This layout is Sn3 and is called the Copper River & Yukon. It is set in the 1940's in Alaska and is really well done. Enjoy !

    Here is an oldie from my computer. The NTrak module was made several years ago and was part of my Ewing Oil and Refining complex. The foreground depicts a gathering station that injects area collections into the main line. Several small tank batteries dump into the larger tank and then batched out of there. In the middle an EPL repair crew is winding up a leak repair job. The foreground is an ancients cliff dwelling..................

    Oh yes, there are tracks too...................

    For this weekend I broke out all my Athearn, MDC/Roundhouse, Bev-Bel, Rail Runner, and Accurail grain hoppers. For the locomotives I selected my Bachmann Spectrum Reading SD-45’s. Number 7602 was acquired over the summer and number 7603 is the oldest running locomotive I have. It is almost 22 years old and the first locomotive I purchased when I got serious about model railroading.
    This the longest train I have run this year. It is 16 cars long. The locos handled it with ease.
