Jeffrey:

That ATSF shock control box wouldn't be metal would it? Looks like a metal Varney kit that I almost bought. Some of the cantankerous old timers that hung around the Hobby Shop back around 1961 - 1962 when I started in HO used to remark that assembly of plastic kits was for amateurs, they bragged that "Real" model railroaders only bought and assembled wooden or metal kits, because that's what the real ones were made of.

oh me achin eyes,:eek:
Lettering 2 ex Wm BL2's for Chessie, 4 digit numbers in small numberboards.
How small are they?:confused:
Small enough to require n-scale numbers, applied 1 number at a time!:mad:

I'm only half done!! If I don't stop soon, I'm gonna go blind! ;):rolleyes:;):eek::eek::eek:

Mwuhahahahaha!!! :D

IF thinking about it hurt, catch an eyefull of this.:eek: The bottle kinda gives it scale! As luck would have it, no 2 numbers were in sequence, so they all had to be done one at a time!
The rest of the decals ought to be a breeze!!:rolleyes:

Those look like N scale rather than HO which I thought you modeled in, don't you?

No, they are Both Proto 2000 units/ 2 different production runs .

Trying to make a matched set, they had to be refinished, cuz P2K used 2 different colors for the lettering.:rolleyes:

Nope. It's an old Life-Like plastic model. Life-Like bought the Varney molds in the late 60's. That accounts for why so many Life-Like and Varney cars look alike.

Hi Larry,
Good to see your on the forum still, that's a positive sign!

Also it's good to see you still have something to run and have some fun with, I was hopping you weren't dropping out completely.

See you around I'm sure.
 
Good Morning:

It's a Frosty 27F in Central Jersey this morning.

I think I have caught up with all chores, so today is work on the layout day. Well that's the plan right now.

Everyone have a great day!

I think Jeffrey might have got hammered by the storm......last night I saw a sizable line of storms headed across the south and midwest on the NWS radar. He usually has checked in by now.

We're getting hammered by the storm now. It was 53 at 8 o'clock this morning with a few bouts of misty rain. The temperature is now 32 with an inch of snow on the ground and roads. It's only been snowing about 45 minutes and it's been fairly warm for the last three or four days..............surprising how much accumulation we have already. The snow is totally sideways and it's hard to see the neighbor's house across the street. I HATE winter!!!!
