Rick,
Thanks for starting us off, those are excellet shots!!

I'll downgrade the fun with a 70's Freightshaker that I bashed from an old Athearn bag kit into a container shuttler! Although, I did not have the Plano mirrors on hand, I trimmed it out with an extended frame, scratchbuilt container frame (with pockets) scratch exhaust & air intake, & pusher axle. I used the kit front wheels, but used A-Line 2 holers for all the rears, & the container. I painted the cab in Testors Gull Gray & the container in Alclad under a medium gray (more in Antonios thread). A-line flaps in the back, & I still need to locate my stash of pintle hitches to run doubles!  Yeah I'm a truck guy at heart!
Now back to Trains!!

I have not completed anything new this week, so here are some pictures I took at the Club I belong to in Strongsville, OH.  I don't know if I have posted these here before or not.

PRR N1s stopping at the crossing with the 20th Century Limited in the background.

RS-32 and F3's highballing a general freight through town.

NKP GP30's moving out after stopping at the tower for orders.

 

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!
