That is Youngstown under the Center St. bridge    Now just the CSX and NS crossing at one time it was PRR, B&O, P&LE,and Erie. At one time the busiest (non interlocked) crossing in the US.

Formerly Conrail #50 the car still carries "CR" sublettering...

That looks way cool. Would make a great scene on a layout.

Yo man....Triple Threat!
Looks like you have a few "added on" details on that "Deck" (bell, number boards, roof hatch, etc.)? Is that a Delta trailing truck? Oh yea, those pilots look good

Wrapped up 28 NS G117R coal hoppers for someone. I don't want to see another coal car for awhile.

Superturbine, that's some fine models you are working on... thanks for sharing the shot!!!

[superturbine]

Thanks guys!!! I've really enjoyed building again.  I appreciate you comments very much!!

@superturbine -- outstanding and coming along famously. You are inspiring to get off of my modeling butt and get back to work on my 2-10-2. (I have been working on my layout)

Thanks,
Wolf

All 70 windows and doors for the Nelson station are done (5 "layers"/6 pieces each).  Lots of experimenting with suppliers, painting and assembly.  I found the assembly jigs I designed were too loose given the cutting tolerances and that assembling them by eye gave better results.







I have figured out a design for the shingles and flashing and found a manufacturer who will do them in 5 thou thick peel and stick paper.

Next up are a few test walls.  Unfortunately I couldn't bring my spray paint cans on the plane East and can't find a match in Ottawa for the cream I chose in Vancouver.  I'll search in Toronto or have it shipped to a post office box near our cottage.

  @mark dance, you, sir, are an animal that makes the rest of us look bad.

I took this shot on my layout this week, and it's starting to look like a layout!,.....More info in the layout engineering forum..

Thank you, I think, but hardly.  I am learning (slowly) as I go here and @Chris333 has been a big help.
