    Christmas Trees, Trains and More

    We had a glass tree topper like that when I was growing up. I always liked it. I am not sure what happened to it.

    My Review of the Bachmann CN Track Cleaner/Impact Car.

    I watched a video a few days ago by Jennifer Kirk where she tested the HO Bachmann Track Cleaning Brake van. I comes in four liveries and is a short four wheeled car.

    Flat car tractor load

    My '49 was going to be my shop truck for my machine shop, but I retired before I got it on the road. It is still not quite finished, but at least I can drive it.

The sign pole is a sprue from the Walthers bridge kit that I built for the layout. It was the perfect size for the pole. I was going to paint it all white, but my wife really...

I ordered some more Woodland Scenics dry transfers to redo the lettering. I applied white letters first then offset black lettering...

    Barn scratchbuild

    Thank You! I don't have anything in the works right now. I need to add about a foot to one end of the layout to have a place for the barn, but I need to heal from back surgery before I can tackle that though. Thanks again!
