As of 5/22/06:

Been a while since I updated, but here goes some of the current stuff:

• Stripped and repainted an Athearn Genesis SD70 for CP Eager Beaver scheme.  I know CP does not run any SD70's, but it looks nice, and as long as I like it, that is what matters most.  Will post some pictures soon.
• B&M woodchip hoppers: I made a first run of five in the "Woodsville NH" scheme.  These required a false wall to simulate the lift holes on the sides.  See photos below.
• Working on several private projects.  One is for two BAR troop sleepers that will have DCC lighting for a gentleman in Virginia; the other is a SD60 wide cab from a Kaslo Shops kit for a gentleman in Alberta, Canada.  Also doing several BAR MW hoppers and log cars for anlother gentleman in Virginia.
• I recently figured out how to make a 60' Roundhouse bulkhead flatcar into the prototype BAR log car with a sloped bottom.  A bit of work, but this will be a cool model.
• Recently recieved my long awaited MLW 420 kits from Kaslo Shops. REAL COOL.  These will be made into a CN seargent stripes and the other St Lawrence and Atlantic.
• Many thanks to NBSR for providing some Sunbury paint.  I will be using it to make a Proto 2000 GP-38 in the Sunbury scheme.
• Also many thanks to MMA for providing some maroon and yellow paint as used on their B39.  I am in the process of stripping an Atlas Dash 8 and repainting in the MMA theme.
• Back on the Roundhouse bulkhead flatcar, Adam suggested that I remove the plastic deck and place a scale wood deck.  Neat idea.  Since I figured out how to do the sloped deck I can also make one with a wood deck.
