Kevin, Love those NEB&W boxcars. Never knew that anyone made those.
David, nice mini scene.
Intersting bridge, TF. Nice work.
My contribution...Finally getting back to my N scale Kato U36C kitbash. It took so long because I finally decided what to model! I am focusing on the SCL / L&N / Family Lines era. Not my best paint job, but I'm happy with it. Still need to add a little weathering to the body, although I did weather the grills slightly. Painted using Model Master, PolyScale, and Tamiya paints.
Chuck - Modeling in HO scale and anything narrow gauge
Good morning
Thanks for getting the weekend off to a great start with another WPF Kevin. I like your New England Berkshire And Western box cars. Always fun to get some new hard to find rolling stock.
Love the bench scene in front of the sheep farm David. I think each one of your scenes tells a story.
I'm looking forward to getting bridge number six done. The inner styrene and cap added to the gaurd wall.
It will be the only one of the eight bridges that are finished. The other five are built but need to be painted.
Looking forward to seeing some more great stuff this weekend.

Thanks for starting WPF Kevin. Great looking boxcars. This item may help. The second paragraph mentions your boxcars.

To the world you are someone. To someone you are the world
I cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought
Hello again and happy weekend to everybody.
I have a nifty new purchase to share this week, quite a happy eBay find for me.
It has been pointed out that I have very few roadnames that are represented in my Fleet Of Nonsense on multiple similar freight cars. Other than the home road SGRR, I only have three roadnames with two boxcars, and then I have a pretty good sized fleet for the DAWDLE AND DELAY.
It is just impossible to find good quality freight cars predecorated for ficticious roadnames. Very few of my decal trades resulted in multiple sets of custom decals.
Imagine my excitement when I found these. A beautiful pair of NEW ENGLAND BERKSHIRE AND WESTERN 40 foot boxcars by C&BT Shops with different road numbers! Now I have another pair of beautiful make-believe freight cars, and I do not even need to paint them.
The boxes even have the original purchaser listed on them. Judging from the postage stamps, I think they are from 1989. I think that is when the Constitutional Bicentennial commemoratives were issued.
I cannot read the date on the cancellation stampings.
OK... We are off to a new weekend. Show me some of your fun photos!
