Great work everyone.

Here is this weeks progress on some projects I am working on.
Here I have masked the frame stripe and painted the locomotive in its basic black color, and have stripped off the masking tape, this U25B is now ready for the New Haven decals.
Here is a 100T Greenville 12 Panel Hopper, where I cut out three panels and glued the car back together along with the frame modifications in order to replicate some P&E hopper car rebuilds of the 1960's.
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!
James,
Here's to a layoff only long enough to relax and catch up on those important modeling projects!
At least here in WPF, no matter how hard we work, we always get a three-day weekend.
I found a good deal on a dump truck for the CCCP Quarry at Dove Creek. It's an Ertl John Deere #35249 and appears to be pretty darn close to HO scale, all for less than $5 at the local farm store.
I kept at installing LEDs, since I have some visitors to wow at an op session Saturday. First a pic looking in on the dispatcher's desk at the Durango station. There's work at the freighthouse in the hours before dawn. After a day of travel and fun, it's up early again.Here's a pic of the Silverton REA agent loading a "hot" piece of freight on his truck for delivery. Our nocturnal railfan caught this pic of a rare early morning westbound to Red Mountain. In Red Mountain, we caught the train turning on the wye. It may be morning someplace, but it's time to hit the sack here.

Very nice Bear.
Well I got bad news yesterday. I got layed off. Shouldn't be out of work long, so not worried yet!
Despite that, an order I placed from Trainworld arrived today. I guess now, I'm officially a CSX modeller.
