Professor of HO
Either a sun kink or the track team had a 6 pack lunch.
Karl .... Actually, I was needling you.
Next month, there will be a total eclipse here in western Kentucky. .... Evidently, this entrepreneur is ready for it.

Chet, that's quite the heat kink you found there.Good afternoon, Warm, 91 degrees.
Eric - Bored? With all of the work that you've done building kits? And a darn nice job on top of all of the problems you have. You've gotten more model railroad project done in the past couple of weeks than I have in months. More power to you buddy.
Garry - I'm open to trying some of that moonshine. I do have a bottle of Montana moonshine in the cupboard.
Gene - That would make one heck of a model railroad work station. Cool (I can't sew either)
Sherrel - If he ever wants to donate one of those consolidations to a worthy cause, I'll send you my address.
Here's another rail photo. Sure wonder how this came about.

Gotta get home and move the rain birds again, .............................Later
Casey Jones Distillery? Really? Too cool! But can they ship interstate? I really want to try some!
Note that photo was taken with a telephoto lens. That highly exaggerates the roughness of the rail. The track in the photo below looked perfectly straight and flat to the naked eye, and this isn't that large of a telephoto. I'm guessing the one above is 400mm or larger.Here's another rail photo. Can't believe that they actually would run a train on tracks like this. The engineers seat must have a pooch make on it the size of a traffic cone. View attachment 62405
On the roof?So.... does anyone know about where to place reefer car roof doors?
I'd like to be done with project.
The day has arrived. The long planned, much looked forward too. Starting out this morning on my three week road trip.
Harley is all serviced up. Stuff is packed and has found a place on the bike. Gonna stop at Chic-Fil-A and get a quick breakfast, then it's on to Detroit, MI today.
I'll be checking in here on occasion, but not while I'm riding.

I do not know if they can ship interstate. Maybe it depends of the destination state.
Perhaps you heard how rednecks make bourbon. They spit their chewing tobacco into their moonshine to make it caramel color. ...
E your skill with these boxcars appears to be equal to your models, well done my friend!Kinda of funny. I built and/or fixed (i.e. make the track ready) some 25 or so cars yesterday and completely burned out on it.
I was checking what I had left and lo and behold is a Miller Beer car exactly like my Snickers reefer car. So now I know about where to the ice hatches.
