Matt,
Thank you for the response. I will do some research and give it a try

We recently moved the layout to its final destination. Yes, not the best way to move a layout, but the 15km long trip on derelict roads didn't cause any damage.

Sorry about the poor lighting condition. New table legs will be made.

Also, here's the entire rolling stock fleet. It totals 60 cars (40 completed and weathered and 20 in various stage of completion):
-28 boxcars
-7 reefers
-14 coal hoppers
-5 gondolas
-6 flatcars

While things seem calm at Harlem, beware! I recently repainted an Atlas (old DC tooling) Alco S2 in Erie colors. This new switcher will replace the boxcab until it is ready to hit the rail.

I didn't bother to superdetail the locomotive since it was the operator's wish to keep thing simple and sturdy. Decals came from different diesel and steam sets by Microscale.

A light weathering was done according to prototype pictures to represent a well-maintained and fairly recent locomotive. While not a prize-winning model, I'm pretty sure it will gave hours of flawless operation due to its excellent drive. For your information, it is the Grand Trunk Western switcher a few of you spotted on previous operation pictures.

Meanwhile, I can announce the entire freight car fleet is now assembled. I need to weather about 16 cars and I'll consider this huge undertaking done once for all.
