Next -  More mail trains or facilities.

The STRATTON AND GILLETTE will feature a short mail train. The models are currently unpainted.

The mail train will be pulled by a USRA light 4-6-2 and feature an express reefer and two mail cars. I am not sure if I will be adding an RPO or not.

Show me something else related to the mail.

 another railway mail or express car or postal facility.

 

A Royal Mail train in the  'new red livery'.  At the time there was no ready made decals available, so I had to make my own.

Next -  More mail trains or facilities.

Next  --  More places of work

Here's the Parcel Post Annex where tons of mail are sorted to and from railroad mail cars and dispatched to highway vehicles. About 600 little plastic people work in here 'round the clock.

Garry: "Please show another gondola."

A NYC  GP-40 approaches the Route 32 highway crossing at the head of a string of empty gondolas.

More gondolas, please. Loaded or empty.

Here is a gondola being loaded in Reggie's Junk Yard. In the picture, you can see workers cutting up old structural steel with torches. Also, you can see "Dawg", the meanest junk yard dog ever, in the lower right part of the photo. 

 

Please show another gondola.

Another gon or two, please.

Here is one loaded with potatoes. I do not know if potatoes were ever actually hauled in a gondola like this, but I thought it would make a neat looking load.

Show me another gondola please.
