Happy Thanksgiving to the American TRW members!

I replaced the toilet paper roll tanks at the Kraft mill this week.  And that's about it...



Have a great weekend!

Mark, where did that big red forklift come from?  Looking for something like that.

Also really liked the 'roof' over the Traincat tank rack.  Nice touch!

Tomix - Plaza Japan sells them on eBay - M.B. Kleins also stocks them.  1:150 scale (quite large).

I have a pair of them, and they're too big for any of my current needs.  Loading packaged lumber at the sawmill, maybe, in the future.  I think they're intended for container terminals.

Just yesterday, I pulled one of those out of a project box, while looking for something else of course and trimmed the length of the forks, lowered the cab on the chassis and cut a window hole in the back of the cab.  Eventually, I'll paint it yellow.

A little warbonet fun.  Some are still in the project phase.





Thanks,

Them there Santa Fe diesels are nice!


A bit more progress on Atlantic and East Carolina 400:



Sorry for the blurry cell phone shot; my camera seems to have gone on a walkabout.

So other than my deal on a pair of RS-1s, today I scored a far better deal.
I found an NJ International brass PRR R50B at the Edison, NJ Greenberg show, got it for only $40. It already has Micro Trains couplers, and it's painted. Just needs to be decaled.
I almost passed it by since it wasn't out in the open, but I noticed the keystone on the box so I was required to look at it.

Hmm... does it run...?

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

Ms. Dee, after the recent debacle with the F-units I thought the same thing.  :facepalm:

It's only a reefer, so all it needs to do is roll.
