CEO- Mile-HI-RailroadPrototype: D&RGW Moffat Line 1989
Since I did not get anything done this last week, I brought out some old stuff and apologize if I have posted these before.
This is an old Robbins Rails 60' Greenville car, where I spread out the wheelbase from 41' to 46', carved off the rivit detail and scribed lines to replicate the weld lines as this is a Thrall version of the 60' Auto Parts Car. Painted Boxcar Red and lettered with Mark Vaughn's decals.
Another Robbins Rails 60' Greenville car, the only change was to change the wheelbase to 46'. Painted Century Green with Black Ends and Roof and lettered with Walther's Decals.
This is a Details West kit, where I carved off the Plug Door and added a 10' Door from an Athearn Kit. Painted with Floquil Reading Green and lettered with Herald King Decals.
Thanks for Looking
Rick J!
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!
Off to a great start!!!! Good looking pictures!!
Here's my latest project.
Faded, rusty, grimed, even added real wood for the tack board.
"Rust, whats not to love?"
In keeping with the idea of warm weather....
R&R Challenger 2735 rounds the curve past the cool waters of Cuttin Run on a hot summer day. The head-end crew is hoping for a red block ahead so they can break out the fishing poles and make a try for some trout.

When in doubt. grab a hammer.
If it moves and isn't supposed to, get a hammer
If it doesn't move and is supposed to, get a hammer
If it's broken, get a hammer
If it can't be fixed with a hammer... DUCK TAPE!
Ok, something a little different to break up the winter gloom and since I dont have any new photos of my layout.
I took this while doing a sailing trip to and around Bimini this last March.
