Show me even more of silvery stuff.

-Kevin

Several companies offer similar diners. I acquired the built up and lighted Miss Molly's Diner that Woodland Scenics relased last year. It will go at the front of a scene I will be redoing soon.

Hi-ho, Silver.

By the way that does not look like one of Jim Hediger's Ohio Southern Boxcars.

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.

I think silver color is still the request.

Here is a bright and shiny bus:

Show me a little more of the silvery-color, please.

-Kevin

By the way that does not look like one of Jim Hediger's Ohio Southern Boxcars, and the Ohio Southern was a real railroad absorbed into the DT&I.

How's about a Train Miniature reefer I did whilst a member of the Yosemite Valley RR club in Atwater, CA.  Tis one of those fantasy schemes.

 

Any more silver gents? Cowboy

More ALCOs please!

 
How about a pair of ALCOs? Most of my commuter trains are handled by RS1s and RS3s. Here a bird's eye view of NYBW RS-1 and Pennsy RS-3 leading inbound commuter trains during the morning rush hour at West Chester. I learned after staging this photo a few months ago that Pennsy also ran theirs long hood forward.

Maybe a stretch, but after reading about them in the Sept. issue of MRR mag please show me a Helium car.

 

This car is awaiting some modifications such as new ladders, grab irons and sill steps. Hopefully a manufacturer might come along with a new and improved version some day:

Anyone else with a helium car?

 

Not me. I had one but it floated away.Big Smile

Maybe someone else has one that's tied down.

More fictional roads please.

 
The fictional short line Munsee Valley Railroad connects with the equally fictional New York, Binghamton, & Western at Bedford Falls. Here is the MVRR's rickety old caboose.
 
 
Let's stick with the fictional road theme a little while longer.
