Painting dump trucks while FEMA cleans up the mess.

You mean the RFC? No FEMA back in those days  :P
This coal dealer is one of my favorite scenes on your layout Chris. Keep up the great work!

That sucks, but at least the coal didn't contaminate those intake pipes

Superb scene, perfect location along the layout front. That's how I wish I could model. Glad the happy little accidents worked out, well worth the effort. Thanks for sharing, it's always great to see what you're up to.

Indeed superb! I love the way the lower level coal yard deck expands the scene; there's layers and layers of depth between it and the backdrop. Wonderful....

So...  Chris cleaning up a screw-up still looks how much better than our best, most deliberate work?    :o

Dammit, Chris!   :D

Really? so they'll be out in 17 years  :trollface:

I have an ABBA set of Kato F3's, but they need painted and I don't think there is any way I could paint the yellow nose on them. Erie did first use F3's in ABA sets on their mainline passenger trains till the E8's came, then they went to freight. I'd rather have chicken wire F3 instead of what Intermountain is doing with the stainless grills and angled number boards. They look like F7's  :|

@Chris333 This is the scene I have been waiting for ever since DKS helped with the decals on the tanks.  Gorgeous.
