Not an unusual site, a AC60CW being towed for repairs.

Good morning from Northeast Ohio!

Bobby, not unusual, toasters never seemed to work as well as EMD's!

Only managed to get one car done this week:



Accurail 40' RBL Kit, added a Fishbelly Underframe to match the prototype, replaced the cast on grabs with Tichy Metal Grabs and the sill steps with A-Line Sill Steps. Car was painted with Floquil Reefer Orange and Scalecoat II Pullman Green, then lettered with Tom's Model Trains decals. Car was rebuilt into this configuration in 1954 from an older car and leased from North American Car Corp. for hauling Ballantine Beer from Newark, NJ to locations across the nation.

While I only got one car done this week I did work on a GP35 for the Wabash Railroad, not a lot of extra detail parts on this one, but the grabs and lift rings have been installed and the roof of the cab has been painted in Aluminum prior to adding the Wabash Blue paint.



Thanks for looking!

Thank you Donnell. The SD90MAC is is a RPP shell on a OMI drive, the AC60CW is a much modified BLI.

I finally painted the autorack I modified with Portec RAVE doors and sill parts to make a PLH21 flatcar. It also has Exactrail 70-ton trucks with 28" wheels. Otherwise, it's a regular Walthers trilevel.
