A bit early but this was the project from last week. I like to have protective boxes for the command stations I have. This keeps them save during transport and because the connections are passed through so the command station hasn't to be removed from the box to be used.
A couple of weeks ago I could get an used ESU Ecos command station for a very decend price. Last week I build the box for it and installed the Ecos in it.

I printed and painted up this abandoned brick kiln stack that was located between the WM and the C&O canal. I think it predates the WM western extension if not the canal as well.   |

Here is a photo of my PRR redetailed Bowser H39 coal car. I removed all of the heavy modeled on grabirons and replaced them with 0.0125" wire. Kadee 178 couplers and Tahoe 70-trucks replaced the Bowser items. Finally I added Tichy stirrups and a Kadee brakewheel. Decals are a mix of leftover decals.  Almost Brings this former Stewart model up to currrent standards. |

Here's an update on my MPA rebuild:  Not sure what I'm going to do for trucks, the prototype had these A-3s but converted to roller bearings. |

Replaced a missing step on this U28C with some Plano material. I need to figure out something for a bigger lip:   Future plans for the unit are to change some details for the later 70s, and I think add a beacon (will check Proto photos) Finished a branchline kit for a C&O boxcar. Thanks to the MFCL list for finding a photo of this particular car. Need to touch up some paint and lighten the car up (lite yellow washes?)  Also could figure out how to explain this on the BN. |

Added all the decals to my NJT/CNJ unit. Didn't get pics of it with the added color to the receptacles or hoses which made a huge difference in appearance.  20220116_191646 by Tripps Pics79, on Flickr Both air compressors crapped themselves with bad pressure relieve valves. Hopefully the replacement valves i got will fix both. Can't do anything without them. |

Adam,
Are you going to make that Kiln stack available? It would be nice scenery item to have!

Also could figure out how to explain this on the BN. C&O DF-19 with and without door openers.   I found the thread on MFCL, but didn’t see any photos attached. Thanks, Mark Reading, PA |

Adam, Are you going to make that Kiln stack available? It would be nice scenery item to have! I'm not sure, I had to print it in a few pieces for the height/print time. If I add a lip to make it easier to align I could... Also the missing bricks weren't printed that way, I did that with a file. |
