Thanks! That's actually my car, and I've been offered some serious money for it. Maybe I should have taken it before Athearn announced they were re-releasing them? OTOH, they're not doing a Heinz car, so maybe it'll still be a talking piece.
Squidbait Wrote:Hey, nice pic Bob! When did you shoot that?
I should have mentioned that my modelling interests (when they're focused) are in the NYC/PRR operations in the finger-lakes area, specifically the Elmira Branch/Auburn road joint operations. Someday when I have a basement of my own I'll be modelling the west shore of Cayuga lake, with PRR I10 decapods and ABBA NYC FA2-s and sharks hauling coal trains to Sodus Point and Syracuse.
Hehehe.... shot that pic one day when you werent looking....... funny how our interests in railroads coincide.... you would almost think we know each other or something

Interesting! I have a #73 Heinz pickle tank too...!
Great switching layout Bob, well done.
I wish you as much success with your hobby store as the success you show at building layouts.
What's the size of that switching layout?
My layout is very losely based on British Columbia CN/CP operations with visits from the UP for flavour.

I am from the heart of Muskoka... Huntsville, Ontario.
Doing an N scale layout on the Credit Valley Railway circa 1900. I know the real CVR was absorbed into the Ontario and Quebec in 1881 and then the O&Q into the CPR before the turn of the century... But I am using "Modeler's License"

Hey is this post still watched?
I'm in Amherstview (Kingston) Ontario. I live along the CN Kingston Sub (mp 182).
I belong to the Thousand Islands Model Railroad Club at the Gananaque VIA Station. Our layout is HO. At home, I'm modeling 'N' scale.
Everytime something new is added, the thread goes back to the top of the "recent posts" pile, so yes, people will see it.
I'm in Ottawa, and am mostly affiliated with the Ottawa Valley HOTrak modular club (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hotrak.ca">http://www.hotrak.ca</a><!-- m -->). Do you have a link for the Gananoque group?
Yes, I am pleased that there are a fair number of Canadians here, although most seem to be centered in Ontario or the West. Sometimes I wish there were more from Quebec and the Maritimes. We just returned from holidays there (Quebec & the Maritimes) and I could have used some advice regarding railway attractions from "Down East."
Having said that, I did manage to visit 3 railway museums / attractions in Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. If I get a chance, I might try to post some pics on The Gauge.
