The cars turned out nice, and I can't wait to see the wabash unit.
Nice action shot
keeping us in suspense Mike?
Heres what I've done.
This also was finished
The electrical work was a first for me... I've never wired anything before much less LEDs in parallel before. So I'm proud of myself for joining the electrical side. The Sd40-2 is a repainted Scaletrains.com

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway. As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).
Rick,
That's an interesting car. Not sure I ever drank a Ballantyne.
RDG Casey,
Nice acton shot and some sweet looking cars there, too.
Me?
I can't say much about what I've been up to this week, not just
yet.
It's not quite national security material, but it is a surprise

Good morning from Northeast Ohio!
Only managed to get one car done this week:
Accurail 40' RBL Kit, added a Fishbelly Underframe to match the prototype, replaced the cast on grabs with Tichy Metal Grabs and the sill steps with A-Line Sill Steps. Car was painted with Floquil Reefer Orange and Scalecoat II Pullman Green, then lettered with Tom's Model Trains decals. Car was rebuilt into this configuration in 1954 from an older car and leased from North American Car Corp. for hauling Ballantine Beer from Newark, NJ to locations across the nation.
While I only got one car done this week I did work on a GP35 for the Wabash Railroad, not a lot of extra detail parts on this one, but the grabs and lift rings have been installed and the roof of the cab has been painted in Aluminum prior to adding the Wabash Blue paint.
Thanks for looking!

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!
