Got my hands on a BLI Soo Line F3, phase 1 livery. And that naturally calls for suitable rolling stock. Started with a (foobie) heavyweight combine. Making monochrome car bodies do not require 3D color printing, but the shade RAL 3005 "wine red" is so perfectly matching the BLI Soo Maroon, that I couldn't resist to do it this way. Maybe soon I will make some passenger cars from real Soo Line diagrams

Back tree line is mostly done, the front vegetation is in, and I got the road started. I should have done the road first but I’ll remember that for next time, I should be able to get it done, sanded, and painted without destroying the scenery I’ve finished.

Tried to take a few minutes each night this week to work on the H9 tenders.

I decided to go old school on the drawbars rather than 3d printing. I CAed a styrene spacer into the stock drawbar, then used MEK to attach styrene strips to sandwich the spacer into the drawbar. The end result seems quite strong.

Next I turned my attention to grab irons, ladders, and coupler cut bars. Ladders are from my secret stash of GMM industrial ladders. All grabs and coupler cut bars are homebrewed. I use the eyelets from the BLMA early diesel coupler cut bars to mount my coupler lift bars. I was a few short to finish all 3 tenders, so I’ll have to wait til reinforcements show up to finish.

Not really much in the way of modeling this weekend.
What was that today what's up model train show in Lynden, Wa. All weekend. Got to meet a couple of you, but for life of me I can't remember your usernames. Sorry about that. Good show overall, had a lot of fun, got the run the City of New Orleans successfully for the first time. It was seem to be a big hit. Took a few pictures, a few videos which I'm still editing. I'll add the video to this post once I'm done with them. Picked up a few things but nothing crazy
