Charlie...That's big lad...How old is he..??
Is he "into" trains or just curious..??

I like the load on that flatcar...

[Charlie B]

Gus, he is 5, just started school. He is into trains big time, just too little to understand yet.
The load you are referring to is left over from a project on the upper track to the lumber yard (the buildings are sitting on the track). The siding was a 1.5% grade and needed to be leveled. The brakemen have been complaining about having to set a brake and finding chalks to put under the wheels as well, and it was only a matter of time before the lumber yard let one get loose.... besides, the buildings should be level too.

This is a P2K GP30 I recently finished repainting.
I also replaced the hand railings with metal railings and added some other detail parts.

[Charlie B]

Ray that's a nice job. I like the red and white logo on that and the GP30 is one of my favorites. They don't fit my time frame, but I have 4 of them anyhow,

Thank you Charlie.
I have a small collection of GP30 locos (mostly Bachmann) I am working on one with a kitbashed chassis and painting it Conrail blue.
I have also been doing some of the different PC lettering schemes on different locos (red P, orange C, large emblem only, small emblems on the nose only). I might even try some patch jobs and different stages of weathering.
