Yay! SWSat is on!
@jhz563 Fall and the spooky season is one of my favorite times. I like your Halloween layout. Hopefully Thomas is not so frightened he dumps his fire. @MELGAR The way you have your station next to a big bridge over a deep river reminds me of the station in Woonsocket RI. Fall in New England is absolutely where I focus this time of year. I went to college in Providence the home of H.P. Lovecraft and one of my student apartments was over the portal of the now abandoned New Haven RR Tunnel that dug under the whole East side of town. The Orange and Black (or brown) paint of the New Haven and later Providence and Worcester are very appropriate to the season.
This week I am posting some pics of my 2 rail O scale Rivarossi boxcab shoving some cars around. I have not seen many of these around so I have no idea how common they are. I am next to positive Lehigh and New England didn’t have one of these and if it did I doubt it was green.
When I first got it I thought Rivarossi had just used the Plymouth mechanism and put a new shell on it. The window end does look a lot like the Plymouth cab but the whole thing is a lot shorter like an inch and a half. It is definitely a production piece and not cobbled together.
Like I say, this the only one I have seen. I got it a few years ago and despite looking I have yet to find another. I would welcome any more information any of you have on this oddball little boxcab.
Have a great weekend. Enjoy this nice weather. I can’t wait to see what you guys post.
