Good Morning Everyone,
I just got back from vacation and want to post a couple of pictures of what I was working on before I left.
Let's see what you have all been working on.

Great work, men.

I've always liked private owner or leased cars such as this. The CO-OP covered hopper cars from the 70' and 80's come to mind. And you've done great work with the weathering, too! I also like the vegetation growing in and around the tracks.
Thanks D.C.
Looking to add a little more variety to the collection. With the LIRR MP15 on order, I' m moving to the 80’s getting to run all the modern ACF and PS cars.
This rare FARMARCO was purchased on the forum thanks to LI Train – Steve. I weathered it this week for the collection. I did one for a customer and was unable to locate one when Weaver closed up.

Bob,
That looks fantastic. The black and white photo actually allowed me to see the detail better. You did a first class job on these structures.

I remember seeing the FARMARCO cars a lot growing up, along with CON-AGRA, Lincoln Grain, Cargill, Welch Grain, just to name a few. Another great job weathering this car. I spied that GM&O hopper right off the bat! Thanks for posting photos of these cars, I don't see them much anymore. Most are past the 40 year mark by now. Although I was told if a car was build after 1974 and a half they were 50 year cars.
