I have finished assembling 28 of 28 utility poles for the North Weirton / Crawford's Crossing portion of the layout.  Now I am puttying the grooves in the lighted ones.  Will soon be painting.  Next steps are assembling the Crawford's Crossing highway overpass and installing the poles. 

 

In the meantime, I have started another (small ) project - a Weirton Steel caboose.  It is based on the PRR N5.  Awhile ago (2000-2001?) I bought a Weaver "Northeast" caboose lettered for PRR.  After becoming disenchanted with the Weaver crummy (lack of accuracy to the prototype), I decided to re-paint it.

 

The Weaver caboose looks close enough to an N5 to be made into the Weirton Steel caboose.  Unfortunately, disassembling it was difficult.  So I bought an unfinished, unassembled one from Weaver last month.  The new one has been painted and styrene panels have been added to hide the extra windows.  See below.

It will be numbered "4" and will get the Weirton Steel logo just between the windows.
