Something to help distract from the HOT weather we have been having. I pulled this Galloping Goose model out after a discussion elsewhere on Trainboard. I don't believe that the Denver & Rio Grande Western ever had one, much less in MOW service. They were a Rio Grande Southern creation. So this would be a "Dream Scheme" brought to you by Con Cor. However, I like it.
That scene with the Goose looks great Russell! Here's a shot from before the creek on the layout went too far south.
Good morning from sunny and warm Northeast Ohio! Got a lot of modeling done this week! First, another Branchline 50' Boxcar Kit, this one to match some of the rebuilt cars in NYC Lot 965B where a number of old 50' boxcars were rebuilt sans roofwalk and other changes. I used the Branchline kit, with the 4/4 ends and made a 50' Murphy Panel roof from two 40' left over roofs from other kits, lowered the ladders and removed the running boards. Car was painted with Floquil PC Green and lettered with Highball Graphics decals. Next up a Proto 2000 Greenville Gon kit, painted with Scalecoat II Black and lettered with K4 Decals. I also worked on building some loads for cars this week, here is an American Model Builders load installed on a NYC flat I had done ealier. I also built a couple of more Bowser prepainted hopper cars to increase the fleet for my coal trains. I did dull coat the cars when I was done to get rid of the shine. Last Saturday I took over my Rock Island GP35 and U25B units with a bunch of cars to excercise them on the Strongsville Club Layout. Thanks for looking! Rick Jesionowski
From 11/2017 on my old N Scale road, an LV freight works through AM Interlocking. I scratchbuilt the little station. The factory to the right was painted and weathered by a late friend.
