Here is one from a while ago. The prototype was built in Richmond, Texas but moved a few decades ago to the George Ranch Historical Park where it was restored. It is rendered here in N scale.
Here is this weeks batch of completed freight cars! Bower 1958CF ACF Covered Hopper kit, painted white and lettered with Herald King Decals. Eastern Car Works 1958 ACF Covered Hopper painted Gray and lettered with Champ Decals. Could not determine from many sources if the GN ever painted their covered hoppers in this scheme! Atlas 3500CF ACF Covered Hopper, painted gray and lettered with Highball Graphics decals. Thanks for looking! Rick J
Sorry for a repeat if I posted last week, but here's Tunnel 19 roughed-in a bit more: And Gross Dam Rd's crossing is getting closer to completion:
That is a stunning building Russel...nice job! I built up three water tanks and a few line buildings this week. Photos in the C&W albums. Here is the tank at Lafferty ...and the Farron summit tank. Have a great weekend all. md
Started installing the diesel service area and the machine shop on the Free-moN staging yard: Both the machine shop track and the outer diesel service track can be toggled over to use as programming tracks: (there are Anderson Powerpole hookups underneath for a portable DCC unit) And my nomination for the most silliest / unnecessary animation: Got a crew to do some welding while locos are getting programmed. Well, Silicon Valley Free-moN is going to set up & run trains today at the NMRA Coast Division Meet, so time to start packing the car (staging yard modules, shoofly module, legs for all, toolbox & trains pretty much stuffs me wee mobile to the gills). Luckily, I can watch the Spain-Italy game and the Croatia-Ireland game on my iPhone, when it's not being used as a WiThrottle. I love technology. Have a groovy weekend!
