Ok,
I decided the Demon's Hollow lone caboose nedded some sister's sooooo...
I just pulled them out of the paintbooth, ( they have been there since Wednesday.)
So tonight is "decal - O - rama" night. I'm also continuing work on the logcar.
You can't really tell, but this is Two hour's of " fiddlin" with Plastistruct and Liquid glue....... ( anybody notice my fingerprint in the glue on the main frame ??? )
AND: I may give the Buffalo Brine logo another shot.
( Hey, I figure I already got my fingerprint disaster out of my system ....... what could possably go wrong now ?? )
Rust...... It's a good thing !
Chip, That's a mighty good dusty, dirty, faded look you put on that livery stable. My guy is laboring on Labor Day weekend, but glad the winch has a torque multiplier.
Daves_Trains, Oh yeah, sandlot baseball! Really liking your scene, lots of neat elements, the nice switcher, Buick cop car and DTD structures to name but a few. The palm tree says the locale has a mild climate?
Gonna' sneak another one in; The road turns sharply up before the rest day. Allez! Allez!
Thanks for all the nice comments, regards, Peter
I just received my shipment of the Scaletrains carbon black hoppers. I got 20 of them. I'm gonna use them for Gates Rubber, I just decided that for an industry on my new layout.
I got all the cork in for the railyard. Next I will be working on all the yard tracks.

That's another neat scene, Peter. OK, who's the guy in the red and black cape waving a pitchfork at the bike riders?

Timmy: Nice work update. I really like what you are doing with the logging flat car project.
Peter: I have the same question as John about the pitchfork fellow. Who is that guy and why is he there?
Bear: Thank you for the toon this weekend.
Michael: I looked at the image of your new hopper car. It is a beauty. Scale Trains sure does magnificent stuff. Is the running board made of alluminum on the prototype for these cars?

Why he's my rendition of 'Didi the Devil', a passionate cycling fan who for many years has been attending the Tour de France to cheer and prod the riders on, usually during key mountain stages.
Thanks and regards, Peter

I had to look him up! That's a fun thing to have on your layout. Nice work!

As an old rider and TDF fan, I recognized The Devil immediately. Well done!

Mike, I believe I actually have one of those, including the old transformer. I got it in a box-of-trains so I have no idea of its origin, but it's at least sixty or seventy years old.
Phil: That tender project turned out incredible. It looks perfect behind your Dreyfus Hudson model. A+ work!
Michael: Thanks for the roofwalk explanation.
Peter: Thanks for the devil explanation. That is a great detail to add to that scene.
Nice batch of work and pictures gents! I done love 'em.
Here is the latest for the Mt Hood RR; a new boxcar fer newsprint loading. Got another one in the works.

Since I forgot this was a long weekend, I will post another photograph!

Great looking stuff this weekend everyone!
I haven't done much modelling wise lately, but I took two railfanning trips, to Maine and to Syracuse. If anyone is interested in seeing my posts and videos, they're all on https://northcountrytrains.wordpress.com/. I hope everyone had a great weekend,

Little Timmy--I easily spend hours doing little bitty things. I'm really interested in how the log car is going to turn out.
Peter--another nice bike rally.
Michael--you're ahead of me. I am waiting for the garage to cool down enought to work, then I'm going to start slapping down cork and laying rail.
Bear--hey, old fat farts can still swing, or so I've heard.
Philo--I like your rear bumper.
Toad--nice.
Rich--I was about to comment on the Ivy on the build--then I saw Thomas.
I got a bug up my wazoo and so I made a bunch of mock-ups and played planning commisioner. I designed the streets and what went on them.
I went from this:
to this:
Chip
Building the Rock Ridge Railroad with the slowest construction crew west of the Pecos.
I managed to get a bit more done on the logcar.
As far as the Bison Brewery reffer is concerned, .... I must be out of my mind !
What was I thinking ?!?!? How can I possably believe that I can "Sucsessfully" hand paint Two carsides EXACTLY THE SAME ?!?!
This is going to be a L O N G journy...... I may not "pull this off" .....
( Please dont hate me if I repaint this mess....... Or, somehow manage to turn it into a gondola ....... It could happen ..... I do have a Hammer ...)
It does not matter, you cannot see both sides of the car at the same time.
If anyone ever did an inspection of both sides of the Fleet Of Nonsense, I would never pass.
Little TimmyThis is going to be a L O N G journy...... I may not "pull this off" .....
Little Timmy....... what could possably go wrong now ?? )
Please don't shoot me — I'm only the messenger! But
Isn't the lettering upside-down?
The reefer door latch (I believe) goes toward the bottom?

Still, I think the lettering looks great
Great Stuff this weekend, everybody

I was never going to tell Timmy the car sides were upside down.
OMG NOOOOOOOOO. !!!!!!
Dont know how I missed that ....
But at least I'm consistent, zi got it wrong on BOTH sides .
It's ok, I'm going to " repaint, and thin no more" ...( I'm going to strip the paint and try again ....... this has gotta be the longest paint job I have ever done.)
I'm sure I would have noticed ...... eventually .....
Little TimmyOMG NOOOOOOOOO. !!!!!!
I hate those kind of moments, like after the glue dried on the second story fire escape, 'watch out, that last step is a doozy'.
Good luck & looking forward to seeing your completed log car, Regards, Peter
I'm very surprised that JaBear didn't come up with a "beartoon" for my " misscalculation".

Oh man Timmy!
I feel for ya. I thought I was the king of the doozy mistakes when I cut my foam bridge piers 1 inch too short which equals 13 feet in N-Scale, so don't feel too bad
Edit Scratch my center paragraph after I completely understood, ...Oh No!
Yet I wonder if you could carefully cut the doors at the next siding board seams with a razor saw and Flip-Em? That styrene solvent holds pretty dang good.

JaBearIf someone claims to have never made a mistake, then it is obvious that they have never achieved anything.
I love this statement.
