Good morning from cold and snowy Northeast Ohio!
Peter, thanks for starting us out this weekend, nice looking van!
I finished a couple of cars this week.
First is an Athearn Offset Side Twin Bay 50 Ton Hopper Car, painted with Scalecoat II Black paint and lettered with K4 Decals. The NKP used these for shipment of coal to small retailers.
Next per a couple of posts in the MFCL this car was pointed out and I found there was a decal for it so I took one of my old Details West Blue Island Reefer kits (although 2’short) and replaced their coupler pocket with a Moloco one for maintenance purposes then painted the car with Floquiil Platinum Mist and Light Green paints and decals from CMR Products. This car was used to haul lumber products from the Pacific Northwest all over the country.
A trio of Athearn GP9’s with a coal drag on the Strongsville Club layout.
Thanks for looking!

Some photos from today’s running. Number 17, which I built recently, pulls its first train - a supply run to logging camp B.

Nice work Rick, when coal was king. Like the double plug door.
David, your photos are always comforting.
tbdanny, Good to see #17 making a first haul
Simon, That’s a nice shot, tunnel, bridge and choice rock-work. Oh yeah, the Vannin’ menories, wishing for a 60s Ford Econoline version in 1:87. Was nice in winter with the motor between the seats, not so much in summer.
Thanks to all the contributors and viewers. Have a good week ahead. Regards, Peter
