Thanks for giving June a start Jimmy

9 hours and no weathered F7, maybe they were kept cleaner than GPs, so here is a weathered GP-7, BM 1715 in a simplified Bicentennial scheme and dirtied up as it was in a photo from around 1980

Show me a weathered boxcar

Two bad order cars pulled out of separate trains in Brown Prairie, Alberta. A CP coach and a livestock car await a repair crew in the middle of nowhere.

Show me a steamer with wood in the tender.

It's been 23 hours and no tender with wood.

To keep things rolling here are two spine cars, one loaded with logs.

Show us a special purpose car.

PRR observation car "4505" with a window on the rear.  Used for inspections, and ocassionaly used as the rear car on the "Valley flyer"-a fictional train that has a combine, RPO, a snack car, two coaches and either the 4505 or another coach.

It's an Accurail kit, HO.  The load is low end Lifelike all plastic cars.  I added black paper floors to all the loads to prevent you seeing right down thru the windshields to the steel tread below.  Not quite sure why I have this car, my rural B&M branch surely would not have an assemby plant, in fact it's so rural I'm not sure I have any car dealerships. I also wonder about the B&M reporting marks.  Did the B&M really own autoracks?  Far as I know the only assembly plant in B&M territory still operating in the late 1950's was the GM plant in Framingham Mass. 

Show me your best model tree.  I'm starting a tree build and I need some inspiration.

Very nice tree.  I also like the bird atop the phone pole.  And the corrugated steel building is nice too.

Good ideas, but no photos. 

Let's try again. ...

Please show a logging operation ..... or a sawmill .... or a load of wood, lumber, etc...... or some wood ties with rails on top with a train!

GP7 MEC 572 is a 3-fer on repaints. Originally delivered in maroon & gold, it was repainted yellow and green in the 60s. IN the late 70s, local railfans requested that a locomotive scheduled for shop work be repainted in its heratige color scheme. SO here it is as it was painted in the 40s and 50s or 70s and 80s

ALso, RS-11 MEC 801 was originally painted green & gold when it was delivered in the late 50s; like 802 in the picture. It was repainted yelow & green in the late 70s

572 and 801 started in my shop as Atlas undecorated kits, 802 is a factory paint with weathering I added

Show me a modern locomotive in a heratige paint scheme

Over 24 hours and no heritige locos. How about a "fantasy" heritige unit??

Maybe CSX could have used the same logo as is on the SD unit,,instead of the silly little boxcar.

Show me an industrial loco!

I wasn't going to post again so soon but it's been 14 hours. I guess the coaling tower, roundhouse and ash pit and hoist count as things I got for free since I purchased them with a gift card. Show me a farm scene.
