Bob Winkerton has found a solution to his problems.  He owns the auto repair shop on the corner of Berwick and Towanda and he's been told that he's been spending too much time in the shop and not enough time at home. Bob bought a trailer, stuck it on blocks, told his wife he wants a divorce, and now lives permanently in the trailer with the junkyard dog (lying on top of his dog house.  The trailer and the shed next to it (as well as the oil tank laying on its side...) are more paper models from Clever.  Can't recall where I got the dog house.  The dumpster was a 3D printed plastic model that I painted up.  The picnic table was a laser-cut kit that I picked up from Etsy.  The junk cars were Woodland Scenics I think.  Now that I look at it close up, I need some steps into the trailer....

Bruce - I love street running. Great shot.

TMo - Great scene and back story. I think a couple of old milk crates or boxes would do.

After being sick with COVID for the last week I finally felt well enough to run some trains. Here is a 21-car coal drag coming through Leiperville Union Station with Penn Central F7A and F7B on the point.

I just acquired a GoPro and decided to give it a try in place of my cellphone for the video of the run by. I think the GoPro video is better than what I was getting with the cellphone.

Great representation of Anthracite railroads, Tom.  My coal drag has very similar railroads. Those F units look quite pristine in comparison, but I'd almost hate to hit them with weathering - the black is just perfect on those.  Great week for pix, fellas - really, really inspiring.
