Sorry, I just couldn't resist.  We were just kidding around up here in Wisconsin with that oneWhistling  Just a little tickle after the tinkle right before the TPLaugh   They do have septic tanks up here too Dontcha Know? Laugh  The more expensive plastic tank is better than the metal ones that corrode towards the top eventuallyIndifferent
 
 
 
With a pair of deuces confronting the road numberWink  Number two is the Green Machine Jeep of mine that I bought with my lawn mower money shortly after my Seaboard coastline Spirit of 76 locomotive that was given to me by my Grandfather for my 11th birthday.
 
 
This isn't the original one of-course but with Christmas Time just only a quarter year around the corner, .....Well, you get the idea.
 
 
 
My Grandfather's birthday present is still on my mantle after 45 years or so
 
 
It was beat up by a young Kid that still feels like a Kid to this day but I still think it looks Good! Yes  Looks better than the Kid does now anywayLaugh

The main ice house at Lowbanks is white...

...as is the one in Dunnville, used mainly for reefer icing...

...and the smaller ones in several other towns which supply local needs for ice...

The rust on this boxcar are weathering decals made by a company that specializes in military miniatures.

This is another example of a "weathering" attempt, not since repeated.

I primed this boxcar with black and white, then gave it a light coat of boxcar red to simulate fading paint on the panels.

More weathered equipment please.

Kevin: "More weathered equipment please."

Both of these Pennsy E8s were in Atlantic Coast Line livery when they started out. I stripped, modified, painted, decaled, detailed and weathered them as you see here.

More worn and weathered equipment please.

David: "Another steam locomotive."

New York Central 'Niagara' #6008 at the head of a heavyweight consist passes by the old Redwing Flour Mill on the Black River Valley layout. 

How about a small steamer, 0-4-0 for instance.

A friend was looking for a Pennsy A-5, and another friend happened to have one of Bowser's kits for the super-detailed version of that loco.  He "donated" the kit to me, and then I built it and installed DCC, and "donated" it to the friend in need...

How's about another small locomotive?
