No it does not, but it is my tribute to his OHIO SOUTHERN. I corresponded with Jim many years ago. He sent me decal sets for HURON STEEL, but not OHIO SOUTHERN. I lettered that boxcar with lettering from a SOO LINE decal set.
I used the decals he sent to letter this gondola, and a couple of idler flat cars.
Jim's decals for HURON STEEL were printed by Rail Graphics. He used the same type style and color I use for the STRATTON AND GILLETTE.
It looked like his OHIO SOUTHERN also used the same, or very similar, typestyle. I try to introduce a variety of typestyles in the Fleet Of Nonsense, so the SOO LINE set seemed like a good starting place for my fancy OHIO SOUTHERN tribute boxcar.

angelob6660 Show me some trees.
You want trees, you got trees. This is a forced perspective shot. I used puffball trees for most of the canopy making them smaller the farther away they are. I use Woodland Scenics and Supertrees in the foreground. The two houses are both N scale as are the telephone poles that don't show up in this photo.
Show me any rural scene.
This is about as rural as it gets on my layout.
Show me something 'slender' other than tracks.... :)

Slender? You bet — those ankles are sure healthy, though...

I think my 9 stall roundhouse qualifies. I think it's Heljan but it's so old I can't remember. It might be Kibri. The 5 stall auxiliary roundhouse next to it is a South River craftsman kit.
Show me something tall please.

I just posted this photo in the thread about mirrors but it works here too. Someday I'd like to light up my structures as Ed has because I love night scenes but that is well down the to-do list.
Since we are coming up on the final day of the August thread, why don't we make it free choice as to what to post.

Show me some falling water. Regards, Peter

Well, it's rippling. And technically, the water IS at a lower elevation as it's doing that so I guess falling would count?

Thank you, Kevin. Positive feedback such as yours is a great boost and encourages me to keep up the efforts on the layout
A few hours left... anything of your choice?
