Spray those white (or Green/black/pink) and make them wrapped silage bales!

Is that what those things are supposed to be? I guess I didn't realize it when I ordered them from N Scale Architect. I always thought they looked like something you'd find on a pastry cart, lol.

I like the twine rolls better, though. Looks like something you'd see around Hope.

Not sure if that is what they are supposed to represent, but they definitly look like they would fit the bill...

Wrapped bales are common around dairy cows and sometimes even beef cattle, if theres too much rain for dry hay you'll see alot of wrapped bales

Late weekend update entry... spent the day finishing this:

Hope this one is "model railroady" enough! Will post a how-I-did-it in the engineering thread in a couple of days--still shooting pics, writing, and wrapping up loose ends.

Working on a backwoods coal truck dump....

Started these a few years ago but i just now put the MT trucks on.  With the new Atlas turnouts the old wheels didn't roll over the frogs without derailing.  I have four made up. I resin cast the props from my brass master. The suports are made from Evergreen H and T beams.  The car on the left is one of my oldest surviving cars that was purchased at Knots Berry Farm in CA back in the summer of 69 the week after the Apollo 11 returned from the moon, I was eight and we were going to Disneyland for the first time. It was good to be a kid back then.
    I still need to add the tie down chains.

Very cool, but are they upside down?

Got another trailer knocked out this evening.  Amazon Prime ready for shipping, pulled by a Trainworx UPS Kenworth.



And a family shot of other companies I've finished.



Glad I don't model intermodal or I'd probably have to send Carlos a good portion of my part of the stimulus money.  Going to be hard enough finding enough dock space and highways to park all these trailers at.  Good thing I'll hopefully be starting over and can include more roads
