You’ll see train CDWJ (a Concord, NH - White River Junction, VT manifest) blast through the Main Street railroad crossing behind GP7 #8569, then local turn LEWC (Lebanon, NH - West Canaan, NH) runs around its train and shoves some cars into Delery Pulpwood. Then it heads back out of town towards Lebanon as symbol WCLE (West Canaan to Lebanon)
We beat WCLE to Enfield where work extra LECN passes it in Ogden Siding. (Yes, this is the same locomotive as on CDWJ…my other GP18 that’s assigned to the road freight is in the paint shop so the Lebanon Switcher had to pinch-hit). After LECN is in the clear, we stand in the parking lot of Agrawal Paper to watch CDWJ roll out of Enfield to head back to Lebanon.
I’ve done nothing on my layout, except for beginning to tear it down (which I prefer to NOT have photos of), Instead, I have one more prototype shot, which will be the real life version of my HO scale station. I will make it a one platform station (there will only be one track…), although I may extend it (each platform on the prototype holds three cars; I may make mine closer to four).
Great Video’s Tyler. Your sound system is sooo much better than QSI or Tsunami. And the boxcars sound realistic too! You must have speakers in every boxcar you own [|)]
Just picked up several of Athearn’s new SP 77’ Pullman coaches. I found out while running the cars that they have a constant lighting unit and even stay lit for several minutes at a station stop after the track power is turned off.
Jarrell, I note the way you have placed your ballast. Really good work. I like the choice of colour, too. Well done. Oh, and the engine is very nice, too. I do like those models.
This car is a Robbins Rails car, with the rivits removed, scribed weld lines, changed wheelbase and extended coupler pockets the same as I did with the Wabash Thrall Car. I then decaled the car like a repainted ex-Wabash car in the NW livery after the NS merger. Added a 3 to the Wabash Car number and used Mark Vaughn and Herald King decals to finish the car. This was per an article by Jim Six in the NMRA Bulletin.
Stock Robbins Rails car, estended coupler pockets, Mark Vaugh Decals.
Hello still working on the radiator shop got most of the roof done still needs a little more weathering. Got the lean too up and working on the trim boards.
Hello Thanks Jim this is a kit by Evergreen hill design. The roofing came with it. They showed it mounted to card stock. I thought it would look better mounted on the rafters. I have tried to make my own roofing with tin foil and a fine tooth comb it looks ok but not as good as this stuff from the kit. Have a good weekend Frank
