Rick ... Thanks for starting WPF. Your cars look good this week. Interestig you baked the paint on the brass caboose. 

Curt ... Nice Pennsy steam loco.

Here's a 4-8-2 rolling downgrade through Valley Heights.

Rick-I really like that caboose. Didn't do much this week just some details on the layout.

Since it seems I am the first to post.

Here are my recently completed cars!

This is a McKeen Models ACF Welded side Boxcar used to represent a GATC Boxcar.  Substituted a 9' Youngstown Sliding door for the kit supplied 8' door to match the prototype.  Also installed Details West extended coupler pockets, painted in Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and lettered with Highball Graphics decals.

This is an Overland Models I-12 Brass Caboose.  Painted with Scalecoat Caboose Red, then baked in the oven in order to have the paint adhere better to the model.  Lettered with Champ Decals.

This is a Rail Shops (Ex Eel River) Flat Kit of a 62' RBL mostly used in Coors Beer Service.  Model is painted with White and Boxcar Red and letted with Microscale decals.

Thanks for looking!

Rick J My 2 Cents

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!
