LOST...No, not really. Yes, WP679 IS in Spokane and far away from it's home rails. But, from time to time the SP&S and WP would run complete through trains all the way from Stockton to Spokane. WP679 is now waiting for the return trip that will return her to the more familiar 'High Line, Keddie. and Feather River Canyon.........


This was built from an Atlas baywindow caboose. Bracing was added with Evergreen strips after the car was sanded, scribbed and new windows and window frames added.

The hack master's at it again..... looks like you could give ride height lessons to some bay window caboose makers (tee hee) - Nice work Marty.....
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

Yeah Marty, very nice. Good prototype choice.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
