Just out of curiosity, what brand is your BL2?

It's a Life Like... The only BL2 made in N scale.

Hinshaw Bridge, named for noted engineer Gary Hinshaw who worked out the grades and curves at this location.

Show me a spot on your layout named after someone... And if you can, the someone in question!

Bassett's Station at the foot of the Sierra Buttes.  Named after a Sierra County pioneer who ran a stop on the old Yuba Pass stagecoach route in the 1870's.

Show me another spot on your layout named after someone.

Of the 1934 Ford school bus and the 1926 Essex (my first Jordan kit), I like the bus the best

I also have the 1940 Ford sedan that the Army recruiter drives

and the old Mack truck that no one drives any more (on the Boothbat RR Village layout)

A very old photo of my first box car kit before it was lettered:

Yes, I do like green.

Show me a green object with wheels (car, freight car, locomotive, etc.) or show me another bright color (purple, yellow, red, pretty much any L&N rolling stock).

Any more Green out there?
