I may be pushing the envelope here!Stick out tongue
 
Not as narrow the narrow gauge as in George’s neck of the woods, but 3’6” is still  narrow gauge. Stock cars hauled by a WAB 4-6-4T. Photo taken on the Hamilton NZR 9MM layout.

Please show me another freight train of any gauge.Smile

I started this project over five years ago...

More projects-in-progress, please.

 

Here is one! This is an old Mantua kit that someone built poorly years ago. I started to fix it up and repaint it, I just need to out the v-gear back on, and give the model more paint. It is being painted in a version of a Pennsy scheme.
