Dang Bill, you're good
Could we get you turned on to some real western roads (like anything that made its way to the left coast?)
Okay, the Milwaukee did, sorta...how about anything that made its way to LA?
Nice work, as always,

Thanks Otto. My next car just might be a UP sleeper !

Ooh, there is hope? I'd love to se a 1950 "Western" 4-12 sleeper....

Finished Hagerman trestle for the Colorado Midland. All that remains to be added are the fire barrels.  The kitchen lighting makes the bridge look darker than it is.  In reality it's a little grayer.

I beg you change out those railings for etched! Other than that you make a really good argument for Southwestern modelling!

They're gonna need to change anyway...  They're too close to the track for equipment to clear.

Otto:  The Burlington made it to California by way of the California Zephyr, although maybe not this car.

Started working on a scratch built feed mill



Based on reversed drawings for the Hinkle Mill that were in RMC way back and a Walther's co-op shed.

Still plodding along with the model of the ATSF water treatment facility. Ladders, water level guages and heavy weathering left to do. Followed the plans in the Santa Fe System Standards Vol3 book, but updated the tanks with welded seams as was done on the prototype at the Slaton Texas engine terminal. Most photos that I have come across of the late steam era show the same modification.
