First off let me apologize for flaking out on the Summer challenge. Business has been slooooooow all year and just recently picked up big time, so the simple excuse is I didn't have the extra funds to do "Strickland Propane" in HO "right". At least not to the level I like to build things for my railroad. I ended up squandering away all of my money on stupid wasteful junk like elctricity, rent and groceries, so I didn't have any extra to committ to modeling for a while. I am still slowly digging myself out of the hole, so I'll be in much better shape to start it in the Spring.
But. Since this is a "procrastinators special", I have just the project, and finally blew the dust off of it last night. Though I model HO and On30, I have two of these Red Caboose Models O Scale 2 Rail GP9's to build and got to crackin' yesterday, so here is my hat thrown in the ring.
