Yesterday morning:

I have an unopened set of decals (Herald King L-500 Hood Unit) for Reading 2nd generation locos (SD45, U30C, C630, C430 and others) with the yellow/green paint scheme.  Can't remember what I had in mind for these, but I can't see much use for them at the moment (I say that and an undecorated C430 ends up in my lap...).  I'd swap for a set of Kadee #148 couplers (or similar), or some Canadian National (red and black scheme) loco decals, or something else you may have.

   

January's postings were excellent!  Hoping for the same quality in the shortest month of the year...

Got a nice shot of my weathered N5B in Penn Central livery crossing over the old CNJ mainline at White Haven.

New project:

   

Interaction Hobbies just released this kit a month ago and I just had to have it. It's a mobile diner on the back of a 1955 Cheverolet Cab over truck. It comes with a complete 3-d printer interior.

   

The kit is a mix of laser cut and 3-d printed parts. It includes signage as well.

     

The truck cab, interior chassis and wheels are 3-d printed. It's a good looking truck that could be used as a flatdeck on it's own.

   

I spent the first few days of construction painting parts and preping for construction. I decided to paint the truck in a teal instead of blue. It's more of a late 50's-early 60's color.
I first removed the cab and interior from their carrier sheet. I't's fairly easy, I just broke one pin at a time until the parts come free.

got this off the bay don't recall ever seeing one before.
