It has been almost a day, all I can come up with on my layout are a couple of modified Model Power structures

The white tanks on the left side of Country Kitchen bakery are grain bins that I am modeling as tanks for cooking oil and molasses (bring on the molasses dounuts!)

Also, the gravel loader is a modified rural coal tipple

Show me the largest structure on your layout

bogp40, Dana Evert who did the work stated by photographing the Dragon Prodcuts limestone quarry in Thomaston, ME; about 40 miles from us. Using the photos, he made a base from styrofoam insulation board, and covered it with hydrocal which he applied with a putty knife and an artists spatula, then carved and colored it with various washes.

Nice!, the scenery guy doing our's may need to check out this, what material did you use within the quarry? (Hydrocal, scultamold or carved painted foam)

And back to George's request for a coal mine.

Carl, actually, the BL-2 is an EMD product; BL meaning branchline road diesel. It basically is an F unit with a modified car body allowing a view to the rear for switching. It was not too popular, BAR had a number of them and, along with their F3s, kept them running into the 1970s and 80s.

It has been about 8 hours with no Baldwins, so to move things along, MEC 524 was made by ALCO

Show me an EMD early switcher, like an SW-1
