The last few... All these shots are from the Miramar area Industrial trackage. And yes, those ARE plastic pellets. I plan to baggie some up sometime!

Still designing them. I'm hoping to have a set printed in 3D to test fit everything sometime this spring...

Well Josh I see you got a good photo of a derail. One night back in 1971 I was covering the midnight hostler's job and on the first move went over the derail in front of the fueling pad. For some unknow reason someone decided to put up all the derails in the yard. Well anyway I had to buy everyone in the yard hamburgers and hot dogs all night until we the FL9 back on the tracks. One photo and all the memories come back.
