trumptrain posted:Up close today: " The wrecked hopper car & the car dept. inspectors." I actually bought this fire damaged Weaver hopper car, as is, off E bay for $5.00 plus $4.00 shipping because I wanted the trucks/couplers. Once it arrived, I thought why not weather the car and create a scene. I later photographed the car in different scenerios before removing the trucks. Here's what I came up with ... including it's delivery by a B&O dockside switch crew. It all takes place on the Free State Junction Railroad's Mountain Division.
Very cool Pat'... Great imagination at work here'....
I know I posted this elsewhere but it fits in the spirit of this thread, too:
Up close today: " A freshly painted WhiteHouse refer car has been spotted on a rural siding. Apple growers are pulling up in trucks to off load their precious cargo onto the refrigerator car. Later this afternoon the local switch job will take the loaded car to Butler Junction Yard where it will be coupled to others of the same, forming a 26 car block. The block of reffers will then be cut into the Merchants Limited due east out of Patsburg.
Kevin- They are a set from Woodland Scenics

Beautiful Layout Ray'... Lots of tedious detailed work has provided excellent results'...👍
Thank you Ted, I do like doing the details so that if you look at picture and have to look closer to see if it could be real then I've succeeded.
