Enjoying these great pieces by A-A-Ron. They capture the mood of Armadilloville they
will probably end up replacing all the motor vehicle stock, except a few classic matchboxes
from RP Model Railroads, which will never get modified!

I have six new vehicles for you. I'll post pictures later on tonight. Right now I'm getting ready to take off for the 5-3:30. The song 'Bang the Druns All Day' by Todd Rundgren just about sums up how I'm feeling about it.

My SOTW will be the latest vehicle contract loaded and prepared for shipment to Armodilloville. There is one more item not pictured, but it shall remain a surprise!

You can convert the little flat car to Kaydees right? I did all I could with the two Kaydees. I built a custom coupler box on the C628. I just hope that thing will be able to hold Armodilloville's Tracks. It's a driveshaft unit, so it's tight in an 18 inch radius.

Wait a minute... Is that a pirated Jade Fog Corporation truck?
I am calling my lawyers! And Sending in the Welcome Wagon with its little "Gift Basket"
to help you consider ceasing and desisting in your piratical creations!
I guess mimicry is truly the sincerest form of flattery!

Well it was part of a vehicle contract for Armadillovile, so yeah. I may have to get a new piece of hardware to put outside the Anderson Lines Shop...

I'll warn you now if you decide to get one of those, out of the box that big gun will most likely not stay on the rails. You'll need some extra weight. Coiling solder around the axles helps a lot to keep the duplexes on the rails.
Nevertheless,I commend you for helping CHOPS out with a vehicle order.

Thank you. And I was just joking about the cox railway gun. With my setup, I am aiming for a railroad-tracks-through-small-rural-town vibe. I think it would be a little overkill for that.

| No problem Aaron- just having a little fun here. I’m surprised Chops hasn’t weighed in on this yet! I had one of those Cox guns 40! years ago and at some point tossed it out because it was unreliable. But it was a fun piece to have when it stayed on the rails. Sometime I will have to post my collection of Jade Fog rolling stock.

Interesting photos and stories.
Not Jade but Cherry Red. I forgot the model car description.

Oh were you the creator of Jade Fog? I've only been on here for just about two years, so I wouldn't know...

Mine runs and tracks fine, I suppose some more weight would be better, but out of the box it's alright
