WPMA-40 works it's way down Division Street, as the truck group from the South Jersey Cruisers are looking for parking spots so they can attend the Blue Pig's End of Summer Ladies Night.

Charlie - That is a lot of power.

Ed - Great shot of changing times

Bruce - Great scene

The RK&M found itself short of electric motors and had to impress visiting Milwaukee Road Little Joe into service to handle a 20-car mixed freight for the New Haven.

This weathered Bowser hopper is distinctly out of place sandwiched between two virgin units - hope to get to those sometime soon.

Charlie - That is some serious pulling power up there

cn nutbar - Those are some great shots

Bruce - I thought thag was a prototype photo at first glance

Tom - Your runby posts breaking down what each car is and who made it are always a favourite. I like getting to see the differences between the cars up close.

TMo - The weathering on that hopper is top notch. I would definitely appreciate seeing an in-depth breakdown of your weathering techniques for different cars. I’m still trying to work it all out myself.

Amanda,

    I do have a blog on some of my weathering projects and techniques:  Bad weather means it's time to weather! (morristhemoosetm.wixsite.com).  It's fun to do when I get some extra time available.

I’ll give it a read! I’m still pretty new to weathering so I look forward to trying some of it out!
