Some very nice prototype structure modelling this week; I look forward to building some one day.
Some farm trucks have been completed for my layout. These pewter castings from CinC Miniatures are representative of the types of trucks seen at the grain elevators during the 1970s. Side mirrors had to be added. The one on the left was patterned on a truck often seen in photographs of Fosters Seed & Feed:
This photograph of my Fosters Seed & Feed shows their truck which also shows up in the reference photograph against the backdrop:
At the other end of Fosters, next to the fertilizer warehouse, a stake bed truck is seen:
I have a newspaper photograph showing a very similar truck in this exact position at the Alberta Wheat Pool:
Last night Op Session #20 was held; the last one for a while due to upcoming travel. RS-18 607 was assigned to Chetwynd Yard and is seen here pulling cars from the Canfor mill:
RS-3s 567 and 570 arrive at Septimus with tonnage bound for Taylor, Fort St. John and Fort Nelson:
C-425s 804 and 812 switch the elevator track at Dawson Creek:
The westbound Dawson Creek Switcher crosses the Pine River bridge with 17 cars and caboose:
