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!!
Here is one of the trains from one of the members in my club
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!

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!
