So for the last month or so RP Model Railroads and I have been planning and putting a little project together, and tonight I will shed light on the first portion of this project.
Without further ado, I will now proudly introduce the new Tyco Ephrata Valley Railroad F-9A and wide vision caboose.

Two new additions to the Ephrata Project tonight, #165 and #175, part of the Ephrata Valley Goldliner. These were part of the Amtrak set I picked up this summer locally. Since the removal of my Amtrak engines these became surplus, and I feel they will look much nicer on Ephrata Valley.

Today I got one more piece of equipment painted for the EVRR roster. I am proud to introduce EVRR GP20 #5628. This little Geep is decorated in a scheme based on the Black and White Lehigh Valley number. The reason I chose Lehigh Valley as the basis for the EV fleet is because when asked what color they wanted there diesels to be, Lehigh Valley Management simply replied Yes. It makes for lots of color.
I also added a second set of headlights to this, just for giggles and kicks.
Yesterday I also finished up a paint job on this EV Quarry Gondola. Sadly it had already mostly rusted through later that day.
And last but not least, here's one for the home team. I'm proud to announce that Anderson Lines finally has a hi-rail truck.

The second to last in the saga for now, the EVRR 'Stop, look, live!' caboose #21. I may remember this to #67, to be more current with the times in Ephrata Valley.

Recently I've been given the honor to do another contract with the Ephrata Valley Railroad, primarily getting some revenue freight cars repainted, along with building up some Maintenance of Way equipment.
To start with the MoW end of things. Here is the two car EVRR weed sprayer train.
Furthermore, here is an auxillary boom tender for a future project.
Final entry for MoW for now is the EVRR MoW gondola, a plain Jane number that means business.

Today Anderson Lines Shops reached about 3/5 completion on a new rebuild for EVRR, GP21 #62. Note the GP10 style vent and tanks on the roofline, henceforth the designation of GP21. This unit will recieve a motor and handrails, then it will be prepped for Maintenance of Way Service on EVRR.

Some new additions to the Ephrata Valley Roster. The high cube is done but I still have some work to do on the engines. These are all pieces that I used spray paint to do a good bit of the work.
