Hi everybody,

This is my first post here on Big Blue, but I've gotten a TON of inspiration from visiting during the past year or so! You guys are doing some great modeling!

I thought folks might be interested in details of a corrugated cardboard plant served by rail:

Your blog is interesting and I will definitely have to spend a bit more time poking around!

Maybe the next time I visit, you will have listed this forum under the "Blogs I Follow" section of your profile.

If you've been "hiding, observing from the shadows," you know that we are a friendly, helpful bunch who like pictures. We all look forward to seeing some images of your work. I think yours will be the first container plant.

And just in case you didn't catch it before ... :!:

Jack;

Several of us have been following your layout building and you've inspired us!!!

Jack, I'm glad you finally made it over here!

I have also been inspired by your work and I can't wait to see more of your layout!

Welcome. It is interesting to learn how the prototype works in detail.
The weathering of the boxcars is beautiful

Hi Jack - glad to see you have decided to come in and join us

Hi Jack, welcome to the Gauge! I already bookmarked your blog quite a while ago. I am glad that you got on board here now.

Welcome! What great work! The room construction alone was informative and helpful...those weathered cars look terrific! I think we're definitely going to need to see some close-ups of those cars.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! It's nice to be here.

I really need to work on my camera skills :oops: but here are a few boxcar photos. I can't take all of the credit for weathering. Some are weathered by my good friend Don Smith.
















and here's one of my 1/48 scale cars next to an HO car:




I still have details to add on many of my cars (cut bars, Kadee's, separate air hoses etc.) but I've been concentrating on layout building for now:-) Thanks again for making me feel at home here!

Jack,Nice looking "rusties" ..
