The Sunny View Line combine rolled out of the paint shop. Workers still need to fit the stove pipe. Thanks to Ken for convincing me to go with the flat black roof. Ralph

Does the wife know you cut up her good bracelet and put it between your railings?

Yes. I have a coach, baggage car and observation car to paint. I'll take them apart this weekend and paint them together. I have a Korber station to build I will paint also using the same color scheme.

Thanks for the compliments.
I originally had the roof painted green. It was a bit much. Ken suggested the flat black.
It looks much better.

My daughter provided the chain. It is a bit large, but it made her happy that I used it.
Some things are more important than “scale” :wink:

I picked up an Annie. Some new lettering and it will be ready. A baggage car and observation car are in the paint shop now. Ralph

That’s going to be one classy train. Nice paint job!

Thanks Richard. The baggage car is now out of the paint shop. I need to get some paint for the door knobs and print up the car numbers. The Observation car still needs green trim painted and decals. I think the Observation car will be the best looking of the three. It should be finished soon.

Here is the baggage car and combine. I made the REA sign larger on the baggage car. I like the smaller version better

Did they name baggage cars too? If so, I have 6 daughters so I have plenty of names available. Ralph
