Nice Dave! I see Andre's press in the background. Is that Lisa Douglas, (Green Acres), climbing the pole to make a phone call?

Alan, the tower looks great...and so does your lawn!!  Dave, really nice job on that ALCo...and of course your scenery work is outstanding!

I recently started a 3-car re-lettering project.  Being a big fan of the high level of detail and overall quality of Lionel's PS-2 two-bay covered hoppers, I got tired of waiting for them to offer a set in my favorite road's livery (Jersey Central, of course!), so I decided to do it myself. 

I picked up a 3-car Pennsylvania set for very reasonable $$, and have since started the lettering removal/re-lettering process.  One car down, two to go.  And yes, all three cars will be weathered at some point. 

Dave,

You did a nice job on the engine but my eyes keep wandering to the background.

JoeyA,

Great job on the hoppers. Looks like a picture perfect job.

Alan Graziano

Great work everyone.  Was a busy week for me but I did manage to get some work done on my hopper.  

Some progress on the yard area. 

My humble offering of a work train, not a wreck train.

Good work everyone! Al that vacuum tower is massive. What company made those PS2 hoppers?

Just got back from trip back East and nursing a cold so haven't been in the shop yet. Plan to this week for sure.

Cyber infection.

Looks great.

What type of paint did you use for the Orange?

I have to paint a mth premier plow for my AC&Y GP35.

I hear Cyber infections are anti-biotic resistant... or so I've been told.

Faded glory........................plus more

I've been using Tru-Color since Floquil is no longer available.  It is solvent based, which some do not prefer, but I cannot get the hang of water based stuff.  The color is called CN orange which is actually Western Pacific orange.  Be careful there is a CN orange /red which is the color on CN engines.

Both of the B&LE S-4s were sold to Youngstown & Northern and kept the Western Pacific orange paint.

Good luck!

Dave

Amazing work guys! Alan, it looks like that vacuum tower is actually operational.
