Poor Fork Mining Co's Way Car #7 (N Scale)

[Drew1125]

This is the mining co's little home0built "crummy", that serves as caboose, passenger car, freight car, & has, on occasion, even hauled lavestock!

This one's made from a flatcar, a 'bobber' caboodr, handrails off an old diesel shell, & MT trucks & couplers.

p.s. I posted a picture of this one a few months back, but I've since added some more details & lettering to it...

That crummy sure looks old and beat up. Live stock??
Anyway nice shot and weathering.

Fantastic, Charlie, and I say what you haul in your crummy behind closed doors is your own business! Filler her up with sheep! Another fine "Shack on a Raft"

Boy Charlie, it may look "crummy" but it's a work of art. It take a lot of imagination and talent and you prove you've got both each time you post your work....

Great weathering and making it look well used Charlie. Fun to have one or two of those on my layout.

Thanks for all the compliments, folks!
And thanks for including that wonderful sense of humor that makes The Gauge so special!
(I knew if I threw something about "livestock" in there, you guys would take that one & run with it! )
