Delighted that you are back to trains. It has been a long dry spell.

I never left. I'm just a bit busy wearing 2 different Editor's hats while working more on my layout than posting pictures of train cars, etc. that I have available to put here. Why few others ever bother to post photos of their projects and modeling is unfortunate for us all.

I have attempted to sell more than one of my hand crafted weathered scenery pieces ---- it's surprisingly difficult and I am close to giving up on that effort. O scale modelers seem perfectly willing to part with thousands for an engine, but completely unable part with a $100-150 for a fully scenic'd structure that can be put on their layout. I begin to believe more than even that many of these same individuals do not even have a layout, nor ever run their models in any sense at all.

I for one enjoy purchasing and running your built pieces and kits!

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Your support has been greatly appreciated, Jon.

This one is something I seemingly cannot sell



Shipping it anywhere however would seem a challenge

[2railjon]

Needs more weathering and hookers, it will sell.

Gondola went back together reasonably well.......





.......and it's boxed up for sale at the next meet.

Very nice work, Rufus!! That gondola has some character! I’m tempted to add it to my historic collection!

It's On3, Jon. You're going to have to add a narrow gauge line, or put standard truck under it. It might be a tad undersize for standard trucks.

You're free to debate that though with yourself and get back to me if you & yourself come to a consensus,

Next up on the hit parade:

Thanks for the offer, Rufus! I’ll let you pass it on to an ON3er.
Beautiful restoration though!

It's shocking what a little glue, a host of small clamps, a bit of patience, and sacrificing a chicken will do towards getting a model built!
