Love the heavy equipment. Does this work as a mixed train. Its an old Ambroid Passanger/flat/box/cabin car. This also would work for a foam mountain before painting, but only I would ask for such a thing.

Show me a mixed train with more than one car.

How close is this? "Stuff" FROM (not in) a JUNK BOX (without the box), painted and weathered to look likie miscellaneous cargoes to detail a dock scene.

 I used a few of the junk items as modeled details in the scene, but mostly I used a PHOTO of them Photoshopped onto my background.

 Okay, show me "something borrowed."  (or BURROWED I guess wiould do...)

or BURRO-ed?

I can't resist.....  This part of my layout has been completely revised and is now where the quarry will be.  It was at the time partially a logging road.  The shay is on the bridge which ended at the aisle and went off into space...  the so called.... "Bridge to Nowhere!"

Since I just posted a couple posts ago, lets find another train on a bridge crossing over another train....

In fact, I just ripped it all out this morning. The part from the bridge down above the track was my first attempt at plaster cloth. I never liked it so I never even tried to finish it.  I will try a painted backdrop of mountains and a lake and some foam cliffs as a view block. I don't know if it will be good, but it will be better.

Show me something you like to show off when people come over.
