October This and That

Starting off the post this time with a couple of views from the layout

A couple of SOO boxcars that have spent a little time on the layout.

Here's a view looking south down South Industrial Blvd.

That's GMTX leaser 2001 on the street trackage

Changing to my next project now:  I ran across this photo of a really nicely done model on the internet somewhere quite a while back, and saved it at that time to use as future reference.

Stinger Arthaus model

Well, the time has come as I've pulled this brand new boxcar out of my storage cupboard to weather.

I've only just gotten started on this one, using several light coats of thinned Concrete Gray to fade down the green.

I know it doesn't look like much now, but there'll be more to come on this one.  The intent is not to copy the Stinger Art model, but to do something similar.

Woodstock train Show is this weekend on Sunday.  I had been thinking of getting a table at the show this time, but decided against that, so I'm figuring on just attending as one of the many, many customers hoping to find a bargain.

That's it for this time.  Have a good week.
