Ed how and where to you connect the roundhouse lighting wiring to the lighting bus? By that I mean, where to you run the wires. I know you use microplugs, do they connect at "ground level" or below the layout?

Let's see another in-progress project.

.

Well... this is embarassing.

.

I posted this picture a year ago of my work-in-progress for an EMD center cab switch engine.

.

One year later, and I can reuse the same picture because ZERO progress has been made on this project.

.

 

.

Show me another work in progress picture.

Judy's Bar and Grill on Main Street in Black River. A favorite watering hole for the locals.

Years ago I printed off one of those paper buildings you can get on the internet. It was sitting on the desk and my daughter came in asked about it and asked if she could put it together. I think she was five and she did a great job. It has been on the layout ever since, it is that gray shack way in the background. A little worse for wear but I won't remove it.

Show me something your kid made.

Rick did not make a new request, so I guess blue boxcars are still in effect.

.

Here is the ultimate freelanced blue boxcar... the VIRGINIAN & OHIO of Allen McClelland.

Show me a yellow or orange regular boxcar, not a refrigerated boxcar.

Please show me a blue boxcar.

Here you go!

The EL acquired some blue Boxcars for General Foods Service, which they helped finance, and the cars were painted in GF standard color.
