Tim, really nice pictures of the joint line around East Dubuque, great models, you will definitely need a model of East Cabin. One of my favorite junctions. Tom, the Rock Island Joliet pictures are great. Ryan, nice job on the GN Tangent 4740, and John, nice milling rig, will help you raise the bar, if that's possible on your modification work. Nice FM H-15, Mike. Good stuff. Bill

SNIP...Nice FM H-15, Mike. Good stuff. Bill Bill, Thanks. I've got full handrails that were added by the Rio Grande on deck for both my F-Ms next. The Rio Grande's F-M switchers got a stanchion that looked like a square bar. It may have been a square tube. The 150-class roadswitchers got what looked like a stamped stanchion. I suspect since they're F-Ms, there aren't any exactly suitable parts available, although it's possible that the stamped ones on the 150 series were repurposed parts from another builder. I just don't recognize them if they are. Mainly going by pics in Strapac's Rio Grande Diesels Vol. 1, although I've got others if I dig through the library. I've got some 1/32" square brass bar that's looking like the most likely source of new stanchions right now. Heck, most of the handrails are black, so gonna be hard to see small variations anyway.

Took some time to do something other than building. Decided to take one of my athearn automax cars and add some mural graffiti to it. Dam paint pen either dried up or leaked out the rest in the cap as i couldn't use it anymore and its not nearly finished.

Nice modeling. What brand of couplers are on the Tangent and IM cars?
Respectfully, BNSF Fan
