Thanks Bob , it is alot easier than the old way.

Since I just figured out how to post pictures , here are some more pictures of a car I did awhile back but didn’t post anything about it. The older “opera window” centerbeam car.

Those are models?!?

[todus2 (mike dorsch)]

Thanks Cliff ! I’m hoping to one day take all my stuff to RLD’s open house . Just have to get a couple of loco’s battery powered but right now it isn’t in the budget.

thanks for sharing!

[todus2 (mike dorsch)]

Thanks John , I’m going to be doing 2 more of the AEX cars so i’ll do a build log for those now that I know how to post pictures.

Mike,
Excellent work as always …

Thanks Mr. Rooster .

You need to look up Mike’s videos on Youtube. His railroad is amazing. There are photo angles that combine his modeling/weathering skill with an amazingly realistic setting to the point that it’s nearly impossible to tell it’s a model

Cliff , or Mike , what is the YouTube channel name?

[Mark_Hadler]

Here’s what I found - Mike Dorsch YouTube

[todus2 (mike dorsch)]

thanks Jon , Pete my you tube channel is todus2 . I’ll have to post more video’s this year as soon as the weather gets better around here.

[JRad (Jon Radder)]

That’s the one I couldn’t find! There is one with your full name, as mentioned above, but it only has two videos and one of them the aspect ratio got buggered. I used to be a subscriber to todus2, but that was with a work email . I lost all my subscriptions when I quit that job

Nice models!
Ive seen the debris car up here hauling wood shavings from sawmills to the paper mill. Full of wood chips with a net covering the top.

Hi John , I did the netting over the load too. My wife picked up this veil fabric from Hobby Loddy a few years ago for me. Still have alot of it for future loads.

I second Cliff’s comments about being models. The weathering on those center beam flat cars is impressive.

[todus2 (mike dorsch)]

Here are a few pictures of the AEX gondola I was building . I will be building two more of these in the future and when I do i’ll do a build log. Hope you like the pic’s.

[todus2 (mike dorsch)]

Sorry about the duplicate pictures . I couldn’t figure out how to edit them out.

That can’t be a model…
But I’ve never seen 20’ long retaining wall blocks…
