    I am working on an inside corner N-scale T-Trak module. No specific prototype, just a generic grain elevator typical of the rice dryers on the Texas coastal prairies.

    The structure built from Evergreen styrene still needs details and paint.

    Finished my ATSF Ce-3 rebuild out of an old Trix body with Kato frame and parts, lots of wire and etched parts, with a Richmond Controls lighting package that has interior lighting and reverses markers with direction.

    Jim,

    IMHO the trees, shrubs, and rocks are spot on. Very realistic scene. Good job ! !

    I like the light on the caboose, especially since I got one of Richmond's units a long time back to put a beacon on a loco. They're great!

    Nothing earth shattering from me, happen to be in East Bendtoday and looked up to see this going over the old Passenger Terminal. That little tanker still dwarfs the semi. You don't see many 0-4-2s either.

    First thing coming into mind, when I read 0-4-2, is something like a Maine 2 Foot Forney.

    The trees in the foreground look too real. They can't be models. ;)

    Installed 24 linear feet of double track shelf around the garage. This will just be a loop to run stuff since there isn't room in the house and no money for a shed for a while.

    Sometimes we just have to go back to the basics of the hobby. We just want to run some trains!

    Sometimes we get too carried away and forget what it is all about!
