I like those Log loaded car. Thanks for sharing.
Guy that’s ok looks like it’s going to be a nice yard when your done.
Tom nice pic thanks for sharing today. When my oldest Daughter was around 4 years we were at a local Hobby Shop she seen a Athearn Pickle car and she just had to have it after I told her what the purpose of the car does. For years after that when she would be at the Layout I had to stop what I was doing and add the Pickle Car to the Manifest and watch her eyes light up as the car went around the Layout. She’s 22 years old now and asks me once in awhile if I still have it and I tell her I’ll never get rid of it. Thanks for bringing back a good memory.
Your welcome! One of the neat aspects of the hobby!
That pretty neat I’ll post mine one of these days for you. I like those log cars and the Geep in the background tooYour welcome! One of the neat aspects of the hobby!
I got a pickle car with the original train set back in the 60's. I came across it a couple of years ago, and wanted to build a fleet of them. There were so many of them on e-bay, I picked up 5 of them to make three plus mine. I changed a detail or two on all of them so no two are alike. The hardest part was matching the white for the car number. I left my car, on the far right, the original #---73
Willie some nice pic you posted. I changed the title so it won’t be too confusing I should have done that in the first place.
In an effort to correct certain beginner type errors, I've removed the questionable tracks, and I'm correcting the design.
McLeod: Not to worry at all. I have found that no matter how many times you come up with the 'latest and greatest' trackplan ( or any thing else for that matter ) there is ALWAYS a wrench in the works. What I have been doing in that respect is to put it down for a couple of days then look at it later. Seems that when I do that I see stuff different, a clean slate, different perspective ...etc. It boils down to 'is it good enough', then either fix or move on. We are dealing with MRR stuff which is not a life or death situation and can be changed after the fact. Well, maybe it is life or death!
Thank you Lee.
That's quite the load of logs. With a load like that , how much does each car weigh ?
Wow Tom you make those logs look so convincing job well done. Did you make the log bunks for the flats? I appreciate you sharing your pics too they look really nice hooked to that geep.
This goes to show the benefits of Lionel Fastrack. It weathers into a fabulous and majestic look, yet provides a refined, smooth ride.
