Hoping to see lots-o Model Railroading photos this weekend.
Have a good holiday weekend as we honor those who made the supreme sacrifice for our country. Thanks and regards, Peter
Thanks, Peter, and thanks to all those who protect us.
I wandered into PWRS this week and grabbed these. I didn't have to pay for them as I had enough points to cover the cost.
I wonder if any of these cars ever made it to Canada.

Thanks for another weekend of photos, Peter. Nice flag scene.
Brent, it's great you have that model rr store that you like so well. It sounds like you've let your friends know where to shop if they ever need to get you something.
I had a strange small corner on the layout that I didn't like leaving blank, but couldn't figure out what to do. It's not big since this is N, but this little cabin fit the bill.

Thanks for opening Peter, good stuff everyone.
After weeks of trying to post finally I think it'll work. Following a video from our friend Luke from down under... the basic beginning of pine trees. except now there are 9 trees.
RR progress is rare when good weather dictates outdoor work. Dan

Thanks for starting off the Memorial Day WPF, Peter! Great stuff here as usual...
I continued to add little details and modifications to my blast furnace stoves. I'm waiting for more 3D printed parts to arrive before I move on.

I managed to build only one car this week, an Intermountain ACF 4650CF Covered Hopper kit, painted with Scalecoat II ATSF Red paint and then lettered with Oddballs decals. Elder Grain was an Australian Firm that spent a lot of money acquiring midwest grain elevators in Kansas and Iowa in the late 70's and early 80's and bought a number of cars to service these elevators.In honor of Memorial Day, my DT&I Bi-Cenntenial GP38-2 with an auto parts train, running on the Strongsville Club layout.Rick Jesionowski
Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
Never too late for more WPF, even with all the cook-outs, picnics and outdoor activities. Thanks to all the contributors and viewers. Enjoy the remainder of your holiday weekend and have a good week ahead.
Regards, Peter
