Progress comes to town with new street lights - as the bustling night life shows: During the installation work, the guy with the backhoe likely nicked an underground wire and the street light at Church and Main no longer has power. I think they were looking for extra work to do... I'll let the town's lawyer loose on'em... There's a part of a background structure lit up, that's the third of the three in the kit, on Church Street.
A little late today, what with going back to work and some meetings this week I did not get things done as usual.k. Here is this week's completed projects. A Walter's 4427CF Covered Hopper kit as a standin for a Bethlehem 4462CF car. I took one look at the bookshelf grabs and ladders and replaced them with wire grabs and ladders left over from Intermountain kits. Also added air lines for the brake gear and a Plano Running Board. Car was painted with Scalecoat II UP Covered Hopper Gray and lettered with Prime Mover Decals. Walters 89' Intermodal Flat painted with Scalecoat II Reefer Orange and lettered with Herald King Decals. Trailers are modified Athearn Blue Box 40' Trailers painted silver and lettered with Highball Graphics decals. Also installed some State Tool and Die ingot molds in some gons that the prototype used to move the molds from the rolling facility to the steel mill after use. A pair of Scaletrains C39-8's with an intermodal train running on the Strongsville Club layout. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
