Up close today: " The wrecked hopper car & the car dept. inspectors."  I actually bought this fire damaged Weaver hopper car, as is, off E bay for $5.00  plus $4.00 shipping because I wanted the trucks/couplers.  Once it arrived, I thought why not weather the car and create a scene.   I later photographed the car in different scenerios before removing the trucks.  Here's what I came up with ... including it's delivery by a B&O dockside switch crew.  It all takes place on the Free State Junction Railroad's Mountain Division. IMG_6347IMG_6276IMG_6270IMG_6292IMG_6281IMG_6305IMG_6325IMG_6339IMG_6301IMG_6294

Very cool Pat'... Great imagination at work here'....

Up close today: " A freshly painted WhiteHouse refer car has been spotted on a rural siding.  Apple growers are pulling up in trucks to off load their precious cargo onto the refrigerator  car.  Later this afternoon the local switch job will take the loaded car to Butler Junction Yard where it will be coupled to others of the same, forming a 26 car block.  The block of reffers will then be cut into the Merchants  Limited due east out of Patsburg.  IMG_7561IMG_7564IMG_7570IMG_7589IMG_7583IMG_7580

I was looking on eBay this morning there’s a Weaver one just like mine and other Weaver Western Pacific boxcars for a reasonable check them out. As for the Vintage Atlas O Western Pacific good luck but they do show up now and then and they are usually cheap they say there 2 Rail but they run just fine on Fastrack I run them a lot on my Fastrack with no problems there wheels have a high flanges hope this helps you
