I too am enjoying the models of ships and boats. Here is a quick run by featuring the LC&NC loco and three AccuRail boxcars. These had been sitting on the workbench in various stages of unfinished. They were the first cars I worked on. I finished building them and weathered them. I used dry brushing and washes on them. The caboose is brand new and desperately needed as both of my LNE cabooses need repairs.

Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33527 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 12/13/2020 :  12:21:38 AM   Tom, again a great looking fleet of boxcars, and I love the camelback loco. They are so unusual, and not often seen. Bruce, great looking tank. You really nailed the weathering.

I normally model in N scale, but this O scale stuff is quite addictive. As with the other one, I heavily modified a kit hull and deck, and all the rest including all the details were scratchbuilt. Full build here. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53262 Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2953 scott robertson Crew Chief Posted - 12/13/2020 :  8:03:21 PM     YouTube slide show link. https://youtu.be/U-llsFjqjJU . This is a link to my modeling during this COVID period. Not all year, but seems like two years.

I assume that is your new Large Scale project, not the On30 layout ?

Country: USA | Posts: 891 scott robertson Crew Chief Posted - 12/14/2020 :  10:11:49 AM     Robert Goslin.........Yes I am still around. I still belong too an On30 club but the focus of my layout now is 1:24 scale G- narrow gauge. All areas are converted or rebuilt, and all equipment and buildings sold. I did modify my lower lever logging line to Gn15 using my original On30 track layout.

The Mother Hubbard as IHC called them in Atlantic City Railroad livery was a surprise find. I was searching for something else and it popped up. Since the price was right and the ACRR is a predecessor of one of the lines I have on my layout, the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines I grabbed it. The next two cars I consider one of my best finds for the year. They are Athearn Blue Box kits of Heinz pickle tank cars. From what I could find out about these guys is they have been out of production for 30 plus years. The cars were assembled but required some tweaking to get them running. I had to replace the metal spring trucks since they were causing a shorting issue, add metal wheels, and add Kadee couplers. A little bit of weathering and they were ready to go. The following two cars are also rare as is anything for NYO&W. Atlas and Roundhouse (Athearn) RTR have released a few items in the past couple of years, but they sell out quickly. These two are kits made for the Old and Weary Car Shop by MDC/Roundhouse. 9721 is a 36 FT Wood Boxcar and 6521 is a 36 FT Wood Reefer. Both were unbuilt when I obtained them. I assembled and weathered them. The St Louis Refrigerator Car Company reefer is a run of the mill Bachmann Silver Series car. I got as part of an order with Trainworld just because I liked the way it looked, and it was on sale. Bring up the rear is a Roundhouse (Athearn) RTR Reading caboose. I needed a new all red caboose for Reading and purchased this one. Since I don’t have an ACRR caboose, I am using the Reading caboose as a substitute since the ACRR was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reading and they would loan the ACRR a caboose when needed.

Louis, Nice to see all your work in one hit. You certainly achieved a lot this year. Tom, more great rolling stock. And another camelback. You sure do nice work. Dave, in 1:29 scale, must be a huge diorama. All scratchbuilt I assume ? Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2953 TomPM Fireman Premium Member Posted - 12/15/2020 :  01:21:53 AM       Louis, Those scenes are incredible. Dave, great looking building. Rob, thanks. I have another IHC Camelback from many years ago. It started life as Chesapeake & Ohio and I converted it into Lehigh & New England. I also have a NYO&W Mantua Camelback that is the pride of the Camelback fleet. I will post a photo later and the story behind it.

I bought the plans, castings, and some of the wood on e-Bay. The rest of the wood came from my stash. That was an enjoyable build.
