Shawn is a Houdini when it comes to hiding that “pull string” so you cannot blame dad for that. He is getting old and never could see correctly when he was young. However he knows where them coffee cans full of $20’s are buried !
Edited to remove the trash talk about dad.
OK…Lets play trains!
Once again nothing is mounted or finished. Only showing/sharing progress and pleased with the results so far. Getting closer to calling it done but need to add more a few more details and then finish paint.
Thanks BD…I told you my vision… 
Beautiful looking model, son… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Mick,
That pic taken about 1910 shows where the model I’m working on will reside in the structure behind the car. http://www.mechanicsburgmuseum.org/
Once again the model is for educational purposes only and NOT finished nor prototypically correct or to scale. Only trying to capture the flavor and “HOPEFULLY” peak interest within the generation behind me. I was blessed with A LOT of information over the years from many now deceased elders that knew I had a historical fetish with a “gift” to work with my hands. They shared with me so now I’m passing it on along with other things. (Make sense?)
This stuff needs to be passed on or it will be lost! So if a model as opposed to a picture helps with passing it on then I have won! There are a LOT of things I cannot answer (headlight configuration (note the bracket on the roof where it was moved to the railing) , losing two out of the 4 catenary poles,etc) and I’m sure it didn’t have a brass railing either but I’m doing it because I can and learning skills along the way. BTW the "plow,cowcatcher " is on the model.
I’m rambling but enjoying sharing. When the 5th generations from now dust off the memory chips saved from LSC (and figure out how to make them work like a 45 record) I hope they can carry on the historical end as it’s bottomless!
LMAO
Rooster,
Where is that picture taken in relationship to the location of your house? Great history stuff!!!
