Sunday Photo Fun - June 30, 2013
Posted by stebbycentral on Sunday, June 30, 2013 7:57 AM

To start things off, this is a shot of my "reefer block".

The NP car is a classic Flyer, cleaned up.  The Rath car is a re-paint and re-decal, using a decal set from LBR.  The Wilson's car is also a repaint, using a home made decal set.

So, the subject for this Sunday is reefers.  Let's see 'em if you got 'em.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

Just realized it's possible that I might need to stop buying trains for awhile...

Stebbycentral - You need to make your layout larger, not stop buying trains!  I'm curious.  Does that locomotive make it all the way up the grade pulling all of those cars?  Impressive if it does.

I'm afraid none of my locos would move an inch under these circumstances.  It's an almost constant 2% grade.  As for growing the layout, first I have to find a bigger basement.
