Really nice job weathering that GP15-1.
Great operation.

Over the weekend I finally got these abandoned 40-foot trailers off the workbench and onto the layout; these are old Wheel Works kits that I have had forever!

Thats a nice touch with the weeds growing out from under the trailer. It really looks the part!

Thanks @wazzou and @mdltrn ! 

The weeds are from a Scenic Express sample "mat", great stuff.  And on the GP15-1, the MiG pigments on the roof have turned a little shiny with time/humidity.  I'll probably use my airbrush next time for Conrail roof weathering.

The layout has been pretty quiet this summer, but I ran a quick switching session today (instead of working on scenery like I need to).

Pulling onto the passing track, with two loads of paper at the head end:


Uncoupled and making the runaround move:


Spotting the loads at the printing company:


Shoving the rest of the loads onto the interchange track:


Heading back toward Hatboro with some empties:

Great stuff Frank, you've got everything working together nicely, weathering, structures, scenery...

Those ties on the abandoned siding look too uniform and not rotting . . . .

Appreciate it @NorthWestGN ...  and @Philip H you are spot on, man!  I totally appreciate that feedback and will rough it up.
