Brada,
Nice job.
Is that a Pecos River early Hudson in the background. I've got the late one but cannot find the early one. Wanna sell?

Ron,
i can entertain an offer. My email is in my profile. Has about 45 minutes of run time.
Your cars are beautiful. When do we get to see the refinished OB box car?
Bob, you mean the one I got from you? It's either the L&N or the M & A.
A few VERY pretty cars
Erik, You are too kind. I am a work in progress. The tank bands got screwed up.
Don't know if anyone caught the Minneapolis and St. Louis herald on the stock car... the Louisville Henderson car has decals jerry glow made for me in 2013. The decals and car are accurate. LH&s merged into L&N in the 1930's.
Kinda funny to see Tichy has his line--- I paid jerry to do four of the recent sets Tichy ran.
The pac limited gondola is one sweet unit. Operating drop doors!
They look fantastic! I like the weatherize too!
Andre.
That's right! they are fantastic!

Well, I like the Missouri & Kansas the best. And I did not know anybody had produced a G-50 gondola in O Scale - one of my favorite prototypes. I bet those were the $225 gons that were sort of out of the question.
Bob,
These gondolas usually trade around $375-450.... I got lucky on this one: brass trains special!
Proto-craft is making some really nice decals and you did a great job with them on the LV car! Is the SP boxcar Proto-craft too?
Great work!
Malcolm
the SP is Protocraft
LV is a PSC PS-1
atsf tank car is Pecos River Brass
single sheathed cars are PSC
gondola from Pacific Limited
Nice cars! Not trying to be a smart a**, legitimately curious if the gon should say "Southern Pacific" instead of just "Pacific"?
Big train: good question. This car will be lettered Pacific Electric. PE was a subsidiary that had these cars. I added the correct car number and build date per a photograph in tony Thompson's book from his series on SP freight cars.
it is prototypical
Nice work on the weathering. Thanks for posting the photos. We can all get inspiration from your endeavors.
Cool. I figured it was something like that. I just didn't want you to get all the rest of the way done with it and realize at the end.
Dan, thanks. I have a lot to learn. I am pleased with the wood cars. The tank car was a bummer as the paint pulled and bled under the tape.
big train, it's fun to find smaller roads and subsidiaries and add those models to the layout. Spices up a consist and adds some history.
