Grrr, those flats and a few other newer releases have me thinking about kickin' out my era a few years to 73ish.  I wonder if I can kick by budget out bigger too...

Jeff would shoot me if I showed everything in the pipeline! :D

I hope a slab side covered hopper is in that pipeline, and a CN 52'6" gon (straight sill, no fishbelly)  ;)

Insert "RTR plastic" into that statement. Athabasca has etched brass kits for both the CP and CN vans.

Painted sample of PS bulkhead flat on display at Jeff's booth at the Amherst show. I think he also got a painted van, but he hasn't sent me anything yet.

For what it's worth, here is my version of the N-Scale Athabasca Pte. St. Charles caboose kit.  It wasn't an easy build.  I also added a lot of post-construction details.  It is meant to represent one of the CN cabooses purchased by BC Rail for use on the coal trains coming out of northeastern BC.

OK, I gues it's obvious now that I'm new to posting photos.  So, how'd you do that?  I actually followed instructions and it still didn't work <g>.

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!

OOOOOOO.... I wish that was mine, Pud!!!

That's Doug's work!

Doug:
I ended up using your "[imghttp://www.flickr.com/photos/bcr751/8417177465/][/img]" and changing it to... http://www.flickr.com/photos/bcr751/8417177465/

I put that in my browser and it got me to the photo.... I still couldn't link it for some reason so (I hope you don't mind) I uploaded it to my Photobucket and linked it from there.

I think your only problem was that you pasted the link one character too far left between the img thingys (that's the technical word... right?) ... so the "]" was at the end of your link instead of after the img... like this [img]
