George, looks great! 

A great example of what a father and son can do together in this wonderful hobby, well done "Judge."

I like it. Good addition for your grain train..............Paul

Chris, Das Boot and Paul

Thanks for the positive comments. 

Das Boot especially when he's 17, plays high school hockey, school work, part time job and now girls.

Here's a photo of the other cars we did together.

George, those are great looking cars. I don't have much MEC rolling stock but I am a real big fan of Canadian road names................Paul

That Maine central paint job is bad ***! I want one!

Hockey and girls, a lethal combination for all other hobbies and activities.

Here’s our pandemic Maine Central GP9 custom paint work.

Thanks for looking and enjoy your trains

George “The Judge”

Great looking models, all of them!

Thanks for sharing.

Menards, where are you?

Your MEC paint jobs are awesome! You guys did a great job!

also like those GEEPs!

Great job on that car !!  I spent part of my life north of Millinocket-almost immediately below where a B&A bridge crossed the east branch of the Penobscot River. Our nearest neighbor ( 8 miles away) was a recently retired  engineer-and was able to identify the motorman of a passing train on that bridge by listening to the loudness of the compression of the cars as the train came "out of the woods", down a hill to cross the river. Although I grew to love the ole BAR, they had mostly mondane consists-like potatoe cars, pulp mill "stuff" and  oil cars for the mills. I always imagined the "down east" MEC branches  to have more interesting loads-like lobster boat hulls from the Portland area, Renys and LL Bean box cars, Wyman blueberry cars etc. So, IMHO, you absolutely have licence to create such Maine Central cars !!

Turtle 7, Speaking of interesting MEC boxcars, does anyone have a photo of a Renys boxcar?
Judge, your MEC creations are wonderful. Your customizing work is motivating me to decorate some of my 3 rail in this manner.
thanks.

LL Bean box car!  That's what I need!  How about a flat car stacked with Old Town canoes?  Or a refrigerator car for GosHEN eggs?

Tracker John, I just got one of these! They are out there!

Trinity River Bottoms Boomer, Leroof, Turtle 7 and Tracker John thanks for the comments, these are some other cars I have painted.

I have all of the NETCA division cars and the LL Bean car is one of my favorites, the division website (www.netca.org) has all the cars produced.

Leroof  Look at the Maine 3 railers web site-they have a picture of the Renys car done for them. 

How about a repurposed #464 sawmill with lumber going in one side, and Shaw & Tenney oars and paddles coming out the other?

Nicely done MEC fantasy car. Good choice in selecting the later logo as would be expected. Here is my collection of cars you would see through the years. Wish I bought the green RS-11. Would love to have one.

Judge you and your son are turning out better product than the OEMs.

Nice work SIRT, where did you find the decals for the PS 2 hopper car

I have all 3 numbers by Weaver. I will ebay one in 21. No decals used. I did print out the sand service stencil.

Really should look more like this using M.S. caboose 048 logo.
