@bman - that billboard website is very useful. Great catch.

I can't take the credit. That was btrain.

We used one of these at my short-line in our transload yard. We had certain cars that there wasn't enough clearance for an RBT to get under the first loaded pocket (think POTX cars). we would use air shores to lift the end of the covered hopper enough and then brace it with 6x6s and 4x8s once the desired clearance was met.

Our local division of the NMRA was in attendance this past weekend at KVRA train show in Charleston, WV.  I had all of my T-TRAK modules there in our setup.  Still working on these but it's good for the public to see stuff in stages and they ask questions they other would not have in a lot of cases.

I gotta get out more, those modules make me re-think T-Trak. Well done!

Beautifully done t-trak modules there! They’re all great at telling individual vignettes.

No progress on the layout, but every day working on the new kitchen is one day closer to moving the layout.

Thanks to @mu26aeh there was a couple of nice additions to the Retro fleet.
