Living the dream.

I dunno whether it's all that interesting, but after adding new passenger platforms between the tracks at Dunnville, I decided, around 3:00AM, to finally ballast the tracks. Here's the "before" view...
...and the "after", with another day or two for the glue to dry...
...and still more to be done.

Wood_cars by Edmund, on Flickr
Please show me a wood caboose —
gmpullmanPlease show me a wood caboose
The most common caboose on the STRATTON AND GILLETTE is this "standard" design of a wooden center-cupola caboose.
The model is a Hallmark import of a GULF MOBILE AND OHIO prototype. There were a lot of them made, and it took me less than three years to get the ten of them I "needed" for my layout. Only six of them are painted so far.
Show me your railroads "standard" caboose. Prototype cabooses are OK. Thank you.
Kevin: "Show me your railroads "standard" caboose. Prototype cabooses are OK. Thank you."
I don't know about "standard" but this BRV caboose is the only home road caboose.
More cabooses, wooden or otherwise, please.
BRVRRI don't know about "standard" but this BRV caboose is the only home road caboose.
I would say that makes it the standard!
BRVRRMore cabooses, wooden or otherwise, please.
Here is one for the "otherwise" column. This steel body caboose is built from an Athearn Blue Box kit, and is used in the Prop Fleet for photography.
Please keep going with more of these cabooses, wooden or otherwise, please.
Did someone ask for a caboose?
More cabooses if you will.
rogerhensleyMore cabooses if you will.
This caboose, by Roundhouse, pays tribute to John Allen's GORRE AND DAPHETID.
I am going out on a limb with this request...
Please show me something that was inspired by, or pays tribute to, the great John Allen and/or the G&D Line.

John Allens "Organic Switch Engine" (the dinosaur) was GORRE AND DAPHETID #13 and nicknamed "Emma".
This locomotive, when completed, will be STRATTON AND GILLETTE #13, and be named "Emma". This is the oldest prototype locomotive on my roster, so it is my dinosaur.

Rules: A participant should post a photo that meets the request of the previous post. After 24 hours, a participant can post a picture of something else. Each post should have a request for the next person. If no request was made, the previous post is in effect.
I will post two pictures this time so we may get back on track while being fair to Wayne and Ringo58.
Wayne's request was a bulding in which freight cars are loaded or unloaded inside of it.
The rolling mill loads gondolas inside.
