Four Project Photos, Peiffer's Pickle Plant, Salting station & pickle car, MoPac Gas electric, & False Front bldgs. | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I built an American Standard Car Co gas electric kit, finding it was the model that the MoPac used for their #651. I used a lengthened RMT Budd car chassis to power it.

I did a minor (re-signing) kitbash on the Menard's sauerkraut station to turn it into pickle salting station, and needed a place to pack those pickles and a car to ship them in, so I refinished a Lionel pickle car to my fictitious company name, and then built a Wabash Valley canning plant kit as the destination from which pickles would reach the market.

While doing this I took a couple of false front only building kits and built building behind them...the white one was infamous Soapy Smith's saloon in Skagway, Alaska... and I refinished a couple of Hallmark pickup trucks, which appear in the photos.

Wow! Excellent work! Looks great! Is Mr. Pieffer's first name Peter? Do they make pickled peppers too or just pickled cucumbers?
