It is always nice to find another antracite road modeler. I also model the L&NE and Reading.

fantastic! I can't think of an appropiate superlative.
hope the leading truck on the second boxcar didn't cause too much trouble
when I was a child my father taught me some signals,for hot box etc, since nearly all my free time was spent around the siding. I don't remember any of them now.

I was wondering when some one would mention that.:eek:ops: I saw it right after I posted the thread and was too tired to do anything about it.

A buddy of mine used to but small little oddities in his photos just to keep people guessing. I have done once or twice but not in a long while. Hmmm.......:D

Tom, very nice roll-by. This hillside with the forest in the background is an awesome scene. I admire the subtle weathering of your cars. Great job :thumb:
