    For those who have not seen it and have access, Keith @klrwhizkid has a great article in the NMRA magazine this month.

    For a second, I did a double take thinking his install on my VO-660. Great photo of the final product weathered by @modeltruckshop .

    A little progress on the “Kansas & Texas Supply Company” for Weir City. This is a Mine Mount Models kit (Wilson’s Mustard). Many roof details yet to complete, and dry fit of several segments here. Weathering to come of course.

    That KTSC structure is just awesome looking - the character is outstanding.
    Not too many get this high of a rating from me!

    Also, the photo of the jail from P. Moore is outstanding.

    AWE heck! Everything posted from everyone is GREAT?

    Over the weekend, pulled some boxes out and installed the ladders, handrails , smokejacks etc on these three cabooses.

    Adjusted coupler heights on a few more and made minor repairs to a few more.

    I may be misremembering, but wasn't there a technique using a blow dryer to create ripples in resin? Am I having a senior moment?

    Whilte I've not tried it, I believe I've read of using a heat gun, in combination with a flathead screwdriver if needed. Feels like a hair dryer didn't quite deliver the head or oomph necessary. Other's mileage may vary.

    John,

    SLSF 18 and SLSF 25 are Walthers "3 window" cabooses. They are based on a Grand Trunk (GT) Railway (Canadian) / Grand Trunk Western (GTW) Railroad (US) prototype.

    SLSF 1275 is an Atlas extended or wide vision caboose. It is based on a low slung "eastern lines clearance" cupola Reading (RDG) Railroad prototype.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!

    Mark
