I haven't done anything really this week except put together a cannon 88'' nose and sub base. Im working on kitbashing a GP40PH-2B for NJ Transit.  Slowwwwwwly taking shape. After getting the correct measurements of the prototype, the frame and walkways will need to be shortened just a tad. Cannon parts are in the mail to make the long hood correct.  And i've been slowly finishing this Athearn SD40T-2 for myself, painted in NYSW and 3014.  |

Finished some freight cars today!  As I had another decal I made another North Stratford Railroad Company 40' Boxcar for the Ethan Allen Furniture Traffic. As the cars were bought on the used car market for this one I used a Youngstown Steel Door rather than the Superior Steel Door that I used on the first car. Car painted with Floquil Dark Green and lettered with Highball Graphics Decals.  This is one of many Covered Hoppers that the Reading Railroad used in Sugar Traffic as noted by the blue line over the road number. I used an old AHM/Robbins Rails/ConCor pseudo 2893 CF Covered Hopper kit that actually has a larger CF capacity and painted with Scalecoat II MW Gray then lettered the car with Herald King Decals. Many of these cars had the buy Savings Bonds slogans applied to the car.  This is an Atlas Pre-71 4650CF ACF Covered Hopper that was used in many various services including plastics and sugar lading. Car painted with Scalecoat II MW Gray and lettered with Herald King Decals. One nice thing is the spacing on the prototype cars of the READING was not always the same so some inaccuracies can be forgiven on the model.  Thanks for looking! Rick J  |

Nice work, everyone.
Frank, please keep us informed as you progress. I assume you are modeling the Santa Fe.
Steve, can't wait to see the GP40PH-2B. I believe I was behind one of those recently when I took NJ transit to Absecon, NJ.
Rick, nice cars as always. You have a knack for decaling. I love the Reading covered hoppers. Then again, I'm biased.
