Here are some recent entries for COTW.
Just a collection of things that I have been working on and on and on...
This is what happens when you put together 4 Tyco triple tankers into one articulated tanker!
It's riding on Athearn heavy duty flatcar bolsters
Ant the articulation end has a "quick disconnect" so you don't have to handle 4 feet of Megatanker!
And to be a little less looney, here's a repainted PC gondola. It started as a metal kit in a junk box at a train show. It was $1 and had decent trucks and Kadees. I bought it for the spare parts but along the way I saw a diamond in this coal lump
It's the Santa Fe gondola
Is it really an old Mantua kit?
Painted and with a worm placard added
Dull-coat needed and ready for revenue service!
And finally 2 more IHC ore jennies. I removed the 100 ton roller bearing trucks they came with and substituted the older AHM 50 ton trucks.
I hunted high and low for the history of these models since they have individual numbers. I couldn't figure out who would be crazy enough to release PC individualized cars in the general market. I have been buying a bunch of them form a flea market in western PA.
