Caught one of Catt's Grande Valley Railway grain hoppers at Absecon Mills    

This was the power on WPMA-40X that brought in the hoppers

So that's where that hopper went. :mrgreen: Nice job Bruce.

Very nice!

I'll say. Nice-looking paint and lettering, and very protoypical looking.

I was doing some switching and came across this boxcar I bought at the Lansing train show a few years ago. I thought the logo was quite clever. The guy had quite a few boxcars and flat cars he was selling, but they unfortunately were all the same road number, otherwise I would have picked up a few more. I like the custom decaled freight cars and sort of collect them.

Since I have the photobucket account open, here a couple of cars I painted and lettered years ago. The tank car is for my father-in-law who was a biology and chemistry teacher in Corunna. I made it when he retired from teaching. The second one is for one of my brothers -- his first layout was the Ohio River & Western. I lettered the car in memory of his "first."
