Am I seeing a lot of work equipment you could add to this train already?

Hmmm..

So there you have your standard rail length for bolted track. Cut many many of them.

Robert, does Lucky have one brown eye and one blue one? What kind of dog is he? He just looks brilliant.

Yes indeed as you noted a brown one and blue one. It is a typical characteristic of a Blue Merle Shetland Sheepdog. He's two years old, and we just love him.

Ok, that rusty old scrap rail in the box will get dedicated to scenery use!

Just curious, if I now need a flatcar with ties if this extra Rufus flatcar kit would work or would it be to early of an era?


I thought you built that one already :!: Well, for a line captive MoW train you can get away with just about anything, :wink: :wink:

Forgot just like I forgot about that caboose........ :roll: :roll: :roll:

Just not sure if the finished one in red was a Erie color or not. Or should I not give a shite?

Not like it has decalling. Paint it greys like weathered wood that the paint fell off, a hint of black metalwork and Bob's yer uncle...
