 John Schneider played Bo Duke in the Dukes of Hazzard and Jon Kent in Smallville. Great start to WPF this week guys.

 Two unfinished narrow gauge cars.

 

 

The gondola is from Main Line Models "Ye Olde Huff-N-Puff", the flat car from Micro Engineering. Now I'm waiting for couplers.

True, most of the General Lee cars were 68 Chargers.  This is the only model I could find in HO, a Classic Metal Works 67.  My research indicated that a few of the cars were 67s.  The show went through a lot of these cars.  Every time they did a serious jump, that was the end of that car.  Given the number of times that car went airborne in the show, you can see why they produced quite a few.

But no, Jon Kent was never a guest on Dukes.  Keep trying...

Every time I read an ad for "Old Hot Rod" I dream of finding The General Lee under canvas in some old lady's basement garage...

this is a thought provoking scene... 

I'm thinking of 'stealing' that idea for part of the layout here---except having the subject car being an old 'gasser' from the 1960's found in a barn------

Terry, thanks!

Did that myself. Pretty easy and if you mess up you just paint over with the sky color and try again.

Nice start - I've got to post early, because I'm off to Hartford for the National Train Show on Saturday.

Here, Jon Kent is checking out this old car he found behind the Clampett place.  Somehow, it seems to call to him from his past, but he doesn't know why...

300 "Whose Line" points to the first one who can make the connection....

WPF Weekend of July 9.5, 10 & 11...
Posted by PB&J RR on Thursday, July 9, 2009 7:50 PM

Looks like I'm first this week, matter of fact I've been chomping at the bit since last week... The P. B. & J. is starting to come together... After only a week in the new man cave I've been very productive over the last few days...

Last Thursday...set up table, fitted foam...

Last Friday...laid out the grid and started serious planning...

 

last saturday... Started laying out the outer main line...

Tuesday...finished laying out and tracing the outer main...

Wednesday... started laying out Inner Main Line...

Today... finished laying out and tracing Inner main and the yard...

Now all I have to do is lay out towns and roads, a body of water (cut out that last one, glue the foam to the table, put the inclines in place and start laying roadbed... so little to do and so much time! wait, scratch that, reverse it.
