Happy Friday da 13th!

An overhead shot of my Dash8-32BWH, left over from my ‘Amtrak Anniversary’ shoot. Yes I took a few ‘modeling liberties’ with it; the CP style antiglare panel on the hood, cab-top number, sun-shades, & the looped GE STD outside cut bars. However, I believe it still represents, & is a nice model, at least on MY railroad, Heh, heh!

Enjoy!

Here is this weeks set of completed cars!

This is an LBF Greenville 52’ Gon that is similar to the Bethlehem Gon (Not Available) used by the Delaware & Hudson. Decal from Herald King.

This is the second Mountain Pines Lumber car, using a McKeen Models kit and Herald King Decals.

Atlas Kaolin Tank Car kit, painted black and decorated with Islington Station Products decals.

Thanks for looking.

As Pogo used to say, “Woe is us, Friday the 13th comes on Friday this month!”
(Maybe the context of old comic strips will not scan with younger readers) [%-)]

The projects and pictures I had planned for this week got delayed by other stuff, hopefully next time!

Makin’ progress on the Southern Pacific (nevermind the ugly gray paint, it’ll go away). It’s only been a week since I tore down the old layout…

Great shot Mark. I hope to incorporate a scene like that on my layout. Maybe switching the rail line with the road.

I havent seen anything from Grampys Trains lately . Is he ok ? RON

I’ve been putting up some trees and experimenting with some dead fall.

I think it’s pretty obvious that Ezra doesn’t clean up the mess under his trees.

Great work as always Jeffery!

Got all the track & cork nail’ed down. Still need to make a trip back to the LHS tomorrow. I weathered the NP boxcar & SP SD40 I bought today, here are the results…
