All done.

I took delivery of some OG BLMA trucks for the gons and slammed em even lower. This required creating some clearance for the wheels ( @Shipsure , if you guys retool the floors anytime in the future you'll be beloved for doing this for us...) but it was worth the work.

After hitting the crane with a wash and some drybrushing I also did the loads as well. I think this went a LONG way. Pay attention to the rusty tie plate areas.

Really nice job, and I particularly like the loads.  Any close up photos?  Also, how did you do the loads?

Me too! They actually came with the cars.

And closeups... see above.

Oh, one last thing.

Despite the fact that the preview images are still broken (I know, I know, I hate Drupal and PHP version EOLing...), this page and its numerous children on the CRHS photo site was REALLY helpful. I also have a hunch that they might've actually even inspired this project in the first place, but I could be wrong.

Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:

Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

That's slick.  Now send it @DKS so he can make it move on its own.. while the train is running.  Be sure to have an operator in the cab with a cigareet that glows with a smoke unit, too.  And he should be left handed.  Black coffee in his cup.  I'd say a medium roast... Honduran bean from the highlands.  I mean, if you're going to model detail, model DETAIL!
