Looking from the back across the Richmond, Texas NTRAK modules. An SP Passenger Train is crossing the bridge over the Brazos River.
Beautiful photo! Very realistic. Here's a shot taken at Greenbrier, MO in about 1916 or so. You can see the transition of technology from horse drawn wagons to steam traction engines and gasoline powered trucks. Kind of an early transition era I suppose.
Got some cars done this week, and here they are. Bowser N5c Cabin Car kit with an added Cal-Scale Trainphone Antenna kit and ECW Caboose Windows. Painted with Scalecoat II PRR Freightcar Red and Black, then lettered with Champ Decals. The Ann Arbor leased one hundred of these 1958CF Covered Hoppers of various parentage from Chicago Freight Car for use in Casting Sand Service from Yuma, MI to the Ford Casting Plant in Brook Park (Cleveland), OH. Cars could have the solid or the open sides. This is the 3rd Car I have done and this one has the solid side, added airlines and A-Line Sill Steps to the model, painted with Scalecoat II MofW Gray and lettered with Herald King Decals. Walthers giant Plastic Pellet Covered Hopper Kit, installed all the metal grabs, then painted with a mixture of Scalecoat II MofW Gray/Black and lettered with Oddballs Decals. (Hard to find a decal for these cars.) Thanks for looking! Rick J
That Penn Central train looks like it's in front of a haunted mansion and I've always like those Pennsylvania RR roof antennas.
