Almost 9 days in and no new posts. 
Here is a Conrail transfer caboose that was on the Kiski for 20+ years.

Reading FA1 and FB1 (Proto 2000) pull a mixed freight through Leiperville Union Station as a local waits for passengers.

This week I worked on six Lehigh & New England Bowser 70-ton covered hopper. These kits were made for and sold by the Anthracite Railroads Historical Society.

Charlie, enjoying your NS Heritage loco photos.

More drool buckets needed - Charlie got another Heritage Unit!   ....and Tom added to his tremendous inventory of rolling stock and locomotives - love those LNE hoppers.

Sometimes water can be the story....   I can't believe how good the Lehigh came out amongst Mud Run Curve (I'm glad it's been done for more than a year now), and I really don't think I put a lot of focus into how I prepared the riverbed or the banks or how the multiple pours worked together.  What's really amazing to me is that the actual depth of Liquid Water is less than a quarter inch.

Bruce - Keep the Conrail units coming

Charlie - that is one sweet unit

Todd - Great job on the water.

Here is this past weekend's kit building.
