Let's start Weekend Photo Fun!
I had to go over to the club layout to start picking up my trains since the club is closed until further notice. While  was there I let my son run the trains for a few minutes as I packed up.

It is late 1949, and the PRR management's decision in 1945 to dieselize is finally paying off.  Due to the availability of cheap coal, the Pennsy was one of the last class 1 railroads is embrace diesels.  That put them behind other roads in line for some of the new diesels coming off the assembly line.  Pennsy's first road diesel was an EMD E7 AA set, #5900/5901.  Below is one of #5900's siblings pulling a P70 coach train through Maryland.

The E7s are Lionel, the brass P70 is 3rd Rail.

Well, I'm sort of joining in this weekend. I say that because some months back I had an idea(and should have gotten what I needed then, but time was short). I had an idea to make my own coal loads for my Lionscale B&M Hoppers.

At work, one of our vendors is always sending in this foam as packing with their stuff and I thought this would be great to pop as a base for making carloads. I figured to cut it to size, shape it, spray paint it, then work on gluing the coal to it. I had also thought of making a jig to pop the foam in when gluing the coal in so I would have control of a potential mess. I have to wait until I can get stuff. Any thoughts on how to make this work great?IMG_20200327_052701IMG_20200327_050417IMG_20200327_050421
