I love the variety of the weathering on those grain hoppers, Tom!

Thanks Todd. Those were from the days when I had time to weather stuff.
Here are a few more.

Now for a change of pace as we now have a couple of ACF Center Flow covered hoppers before returning to the PS-1 covered hoppers.

Conrail SD9 #6910 on the workbench after getting the numbers and letters added.
RE: Photo Fun September 2025 - TMo - 09-09-2025
Handsome unit! I think I recall that two of those were helper units around the Horseshoe curve for many years. Almost pulled the trigger on a Broadway Limited version of the SD9 quite a few years ago.

Now we have some "new" Athearn covered hoppers.

Bruce even the old stuff looks great.
Wrap things up with some pink hoppers and a safety caboose.

Tom, thanks. Always amazed at the number of cars in your freight car fleet.

Yeah... I always have to get out my drool bucket when Tom does these runbys. His collection of freight and especially his locomotives is beyond impressive.
RE: Photo Fun September 2025 - tompm - 09-13-2025
Thank guys! I just realized the other day that I have been collecting model trains for the last 45 years and I still have many of those 40 plus year old trains. I guess I am something of horder. I have several locomotives from my childhood unfortunately none run consistently but they do run. I still have a bunch of rolling stock from then.
I forgot to post the video link. So here it is.
