While my wallet's bleeding dry at the gas pumps, the folks at Phoenix Oil are raking in the dough.

The Youngstown and Southern RR just spotted two tank cars of #2 heating oil at their Boardman, Ohio facility. Good thing, too, because despite those green leaves on the trees, it's going down to 20 degrees tonight. Brrrrrr....

Very Nice. I was able to track down that same Walthers kit (glad they're coming back) for a citrus-based module set I'm working on. Even in "sunny" Southern California, you needed "smudge oil" to keep citrus warm in those San Bernardino winters.

Thanks, Matt,

I used three blue colors in the same range... two in green, and then blended with an air brush. Then built a shallow "hill" against the backdrop, and ended up covering most, if not all, the green with sedum "forest."

That looks really good.

I too am happy to think these kits are coming back in some form.
