great work
Awesome!
That is fantastic! It’s great seeing Tropicana in O scale! Living in Florida all my life, and as a kid. Seeing the orange Tropicana fleet with the earlier SCL FGE Solid Gold reefers really have a special place in my nostalgic heart.
So how soon before you're amassing a TPIX unit train (aka the 'Juice Train')?

Absolutely beautiful model, love the cooling tower on the roof. Now I'm in the mood for a tall glass of orange juice.
That looks fantastic! Now if we could just get Atlas or Lionel to put out some new Tropicana reefers so we can both extend our juice trains...

Very nice. I recently saw the structure on a YouTube video showcasing the new Lionel Class A, and it instantly caught my eye. I didn't realize it was new.

On ConRail it was known as MD6B. I would see it once in awhile while visiting a friend who worked in a couple of the towers in Baltimore. Two E44s and a long string of reefers.
Hey Ben,
Is this model anything like the Tropicana facility in the Jersey City area,off rte.78. Nice building! What building or buildings were sacrificed for Tropicana. Need any help? Have you heard anything from Al's son about his engines in the glass case? I told him in a text when he and Al's daughter asked me if I had any pics of their Dad in the group.

Hi John
Its similar to Jersey City but with all the tanks it is most likely based on Florida A few minor Korber buildings were displaced
Al's son was up to the club Working with him to recover his stuff I might assist him in selling
