This week I've been building some Proto flatcar kits assembly line style. Here are four of them which are all WM cars. The top three are class F-8/F-9 and the bottom is an F-20. Walthers' latest run of WM flats were painted for F-20s, but unsurprisingly did not feature the distinctive side handbrakes. Mine does!

between my job and band there hasn't been much time for modeling....... Finally, I did finish weathering this BX166.

Completed an Atlas (Ex-Branchline) 40' 1944 AAR Boxcar kit using the 4/4 Ends and Diagonal Panel Roof parts of the kit. Painted with a mixture of Scalecoat II Boxcar Red and Roof Brown to get the ATSF Mineral Red. Car was lettered with Mask Island Decals. This boxcar was used in general service. Proto 2000 PS 4427 Hi Side Covered Hopper Kit, substituted a Plano Etched Metal Roofwalk for the plastic one that comes with the kit. Painted with Scalecoat II UP Covered Hopper Gray Paint and lettered with Oddballs Decals. One of many covered hoppers purchased by the MP and subsidiaries for grain service in the midwest. A pair of Scaletrains SD40-2's running on the Strongsville Club Layout with a mixed freight. The background of the car pictures are a large Plastic Pellet Plant I am building for the club layout, hope to have it finished next week. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski

Finally acquired a Rapido RDC with DCC & Sound. Got it from another modeler who was going from HO to N scale for $125. Not the road name that I wanted, Canadian National, but I guess I could repaint it or just enjoy the war paint. Here it is on our Club layout Departing Gardiner, MT along the Yellowstone River passing the Devils Slide.
