Here's a N-scale Coal Mine I've been working on for a diaorama. The first picture is how it looked after I dug it out of the plaster. Still needs some work but I can make adjustments on the diorama.

Zak - you could just send a PM to Matt (mtrpls) and he should be able to send you some tips.

UP2CSX - thanks, that is exactly what I was going for. This 40' boxcar is now in MOW service, so it still has a few years of life left.
 


Jim,

I don't mind a bit of nit-picking. I did notice I forgot to do the top of the cab and front of the cab after I had it all sealed up. I'm not having any luck with the fuel tanks. I can't seem to find a weathering scheme that works for me yet. I'll keep trying though.
 


Nice shot Chessie4155. That cab sure gets around, I've seen the same one here in Windsor on my module! :)
 
Evening. This past week-end,while returning from a visit at my Mother's,I decided to do a little railranning. Well,to make a long story short,my scanner detected some train traffic in and around a place called,Coosa Pines. This area,is in East Shelby County,and is located near the town of Childersburg.Anyway,I started looking around for a train,or trains,and well,I soon found at least one. The following photos are from a spot I found next to the track,and just outside a BIG Paper Mill.Although the weather was nasty,I was not disappointed. So,here are my photos.

Thanks Carl. I forgot to mention,that unless I am mistaken,I think that railline is actually served by Norfolk Southern. The reason I say this is,because although there is a CSX locomotive on the point,there is a NS Geep behind it. Also,the last few times I've been down there,there was a NS locomotive parked in a small yard,a few miles up the road. But,now that I think about it,NS and CSX,interchange cars out there. Because,I just remembered that,the Southern,and Seaboard Coastline,did interchange cars out there,and still do to a point. William.
