Les Perry's orphan - Lester Perry - 06-15-2013 Almost exactly three years ago I built a strip mine on my layout. It still is not completely finished,close but not 100%. I guess I should finish it.Here is the unfinished strip mine. You can see what I have now. I feel it is a good start but still not finished. LETS GO !!! Re: Les Perry's orphan - Tyson Rayles - 06-16-2013 Git that truck outta thar!!! We don't need no stinkin' trucks stealing the RR's business!! Re: Les Perry's orphan - Lester Perry - 06-16-2013 oops sorry about that. he only gets a couple loads a day going to local dealers. Re: Les Perry's orphan - ezdays - 06-16-2013 Don't pay attention to Mike, it looks to me like the truck is going back empty, while all the cars are lined up to get loaded. Besides, I heard that the railroad owns that trucking line anyway.. Re: Les Perry's orphan - Tyson Rayles - 06-16-2013 Oh, well if the trucking company is owned by the RR......................... Re: Les Perry's orphan - Lester Perry - 06-16-2013 They used to own it but it was not profitable so they sold it to the Jones family in Big Ugly. Think about it you might remember the Jones family.

Think about it you might remember the Jones family. I do remember something about " The whole town's talking about the Jones Boy" - - - -or was that an ancient song? Re: Les Perry's orphan - Lester Perry - 06-17-2013 Must be a song. This is a "local" family that made the news paper in various weird ways. Re: Les Perry's orphan - Tyson Rayles - 06-18-2013 Sorry I don't have a clue to what either one of you are talking about?

If you follow the thread from this point on, maybe that will help: ezdays Wrote:... Besides, I heard that the railroad owns that trucking line anyway.. I just wasn't aware of the later sale of that trucking company... Re: Les Perry's orphan - Lester Perry - 07-02-2013 If you are interested in the saga of the Jones family I posted a short history under BUT in this forum Re: Les Perry's orphan - Lester Perry - 07-04-2013 Well I finally started this finishing orphan. Not much but it is a start. Re: Les Perry's orphan - Tyson Rayles - 07-05-2013 Always good to see progress! Re: Les Perry's orphan - Lester Perry - 07-08-2013 Even slow progress?
