Here’s another winter project that should be in service soon. It’s ready for LED’s and Railpro/battery.

This would look great at a modeling contest in Ohio!

You don’t get out much
Nice work as usual!

Nico, maybe an RLD open house when my dollar is worth a little more.

Sean, when the snow flies, I hibernate in the train room.

Fantastic job on the winterized cab window! What a great looking unit. One of my favorite SD45 liveries. D&H being my #1 of course

Thanks Jenny. I’m certainly looking forward to getting it into service.

WC SD45 is now in service. I’ll try to add another photo later showing the LED’s.

A thing of beauty. You’re truly a master modeller, Shane.

Thanks Cliff. That’s a high bar.

Here’s a couple shots showing the lights.

I can’t help myself with “fresh in service” equipment!

As always Shane excellent work !!

Thanks Rooster.

Hey wait a minute. Did you just tag my new locomotive?

Today I began painting the GP9rm’s.

Ah the classic Barbie take…

One day a father on his way home from work suddenly remembers that it’s his daughter’s birthday. He stops at a toy store and goes in and asks the sales person, “how much for one of those Barbies in the display window?”

The salesperson answers, “Which one do you mean, Sir? We have: Work Out Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95, Astronaut Barbie for $19.95, Skater Barbie for $19.95, and Divorce Barbie for $265.95”.

The amazed father asks: “It’s what? Why is the Divorce Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?”

The salesgirl rolls her eyes, sighs, and answered “Sir…Divorce Barbie comes with: Ken’s car, Ken’s House, Ken’s Fishing Boat, Ken’s Railroad, Ken’s Dog, Ken’s Computer, and one of Ken’s Friends”.
