No Gary, both are HO. The 89'4" flat was scratched from sheet brass with PSC equalizing trucks. It's not my best work when you get to looking close since it was before I learned how to etch.

The 85ft triple was an Overland that I considered to be a total loss I bought many years ago for parts and ended up repairing it with parts I etched. It is massively rebuilt and only about 60% original . Since I have the drawings, making/repairing these two HO was doable and a good starting point to create the artwork. If all goes well, the N-Scale will be on a Sunday Night before years end.

These Central Soya C/Hs are everywhere here on the Eastern Shore, hauling soybean meal for feed.


Thrall 5400... CSYX is the only owner... the VERY similar Thrall 5250 on the other thand,, could be done in quite a few schemes, and foobed to CSYX as well.
