Trent, thanks for the details. You've taken on quite a job with that IHC conversions. It looks good so far. I remember reading about that engine and wondering what idiot thought a Hudson would work in freight service. The difference in box sizes is beacuse those are two diferent model of FA's. The FA-1/FB-1's shutters were at the far end of the carbody, whereas on the FA-2/FA-2 they were further forward, the design having been modified to allow the installation of a steam generator behind the radiator. So the rear two are FA-2's and the front two are FA-1's. The FA-1's happened to come out at a time Atlas was changing box designs but there's no difference in length between the two different models.
Matt, you had a customer that want to buy Jack's Cabin so you just sort of whipped up another one for the convention?
You are a much braver and faster man than me.
I've been thinking about using some of those transparent paints for stained glass in my church. I think I'll give it a try. I forgot about that businees block you built although I never saw the trolley diner shot before. You are one of the few modelers I've seen that can do plastic urban scenes and country scenes with wood structures equally well.
Brick, nice cars you've picked up. What is the red FEC hopper used for?
IG, nice paint and detailing job on that NW2.
HB, Nice job on that Merchant's Row. Are your eyes all blurry yet.
Your son is doing some nice ballasting work.
