As an old rider and TDF fan, I recognized The Devil immediately. Well done!
Mike, I believe I actually have one of those, including the old transformer. I got it in a box-of-trains so I have no idea of its origin, but it’s at least sixty or seventy years old.
Phil: That tender project turned out incredible. It looks perfect behind your Dreyfus Hudson model. A+ work!
Michael: Thanks for the roofwalk explanation.
Peter: Thanks for the devil explanation. That is a great detail to add to that scene.

Kato SD45 - SD40 Combo (as the PC and Conrail usually paired them) with a string of mostly PC Boxcars, of which only 3 were duplicate classes (PC & PRR) or Lots (NYC).

Great looking stuff this weekend everyone!
I haven’t done much modelling wise lately, but I took two railfanning trips, to Maine and to Syracuse. If anyone is interested in seeing my posts and videos, they’re all on https://northcountrytrains.wordpress.com/. I hope everyone had a great weekend,
Little Timmy–I easily spend hours doing little bitty things. I’m really interested in how the log car is going to turn out.
Peter–another nice bike rally.
Michael–you’re ahead of me. I am waiting for the garage to cool down enought to work, then I’m going to start slapping down cork and laying rail.
Bear–hey, old fat farts can still swing, or so I’ve heard.
Philo–I like your rear bumper.
Toad–nice.
Rich–I was about to comment on the Ivy on the build–then I saw Thomas.
I got a bug up my wazoo and so I made a bunch of mock-ups and played planning commisioner. I designed the streets and what went on them.
I went from this:
to this:
I managed to get a bit more done on the logcar.
As far as the Bison Brewery reffer is concerned, … I must be out of my mind !
What was I thinking ?!?!? How can I possably believe that I can “Sucsessfully” hand paint Two carsides EXACTLY THE SAME ?!?!
This is going to be a L O N G journy… I may not “pull this off” …
( Please dont hate me if I repaint this mess… Or, somehow manage to turn it into a gondola … It could happen … I do have a Hammer …)
It does not matter, you cannot see both sides of the car at the same time.
If anyone ever did an inspection of both sides of the Fleet Of Nonsense, I would never pass.

Please don’t shoot me — I’m only the messenger! But
Isn’t the lettering upside-down?
The reefer door latch (I believe) goes toward the bottom?

Still, I think the lettering looks great [bow]
Great Stuff this weekend, everybody [Y] [Y] [Y]
Cheers, Ed
They just are all very tall workers in Timmys world.
I was never going to tell Timmy the car sides were upside down.
-Kevin
OMG NOOOOOOOOO. !!!
Dont know how I missed that …
But at least I’m consistent, zi got it wrong on BOTH sides .
It’s ok, I’m going to " repaint, and thin no more" …( I’m going to strip the paint and try again … this has gotta be the longest paint job I have ever done.)
I’m sure I would have noticed … eventually …
I hate those kind of moments, like after the glue dried on the second story fire escape, ‘watch out, that last step is a doozy’.
Good luck & looking forward to seeing your completed log car, Regards, Peter
I’m very surprised that JaBear didn’t come up with a “beartoon” for my " misscalculation".
“Survived the fire just fine — broke my darned neck tumbling down that hole”!
We’ve all been there [:)] Ed
Oh man Timmy!
I feel for ya. I thought I was the king of the doozy mistakes when I cut my foam bridge piers 1 inch too short which equals 13 feet in N-Scale, so don’t feel too bad[:)]
Edit Scratch my center paragraph after I completely understood, …Oh No!
Yet I wonder if you could carefully cut the doors at the next siding board seams with a razor saw and Flip-Em? That styrene solvent holds pretty dang good.
Very impressive hand-painted graphics[Y]

While I will unashamedly “borrow” contributors’ photos as subjects for a “Beartoon”, it is because I can find something humorous, (whether others do or not is a case in point). But I will try not to make fun of, or embarrass a contributor!
That said, I personally blame the “miscalculation” to the overindulgence of “Bison Brine Ale”!!![+o(]
Besides, if someone claims to have never made a mistake, then it is obvious that they have never achieved anything!!
Cheers, the Bear.[:)]
I love this statement.
