      That’s a Unloader and Conveyor. It slides underneath the Coal Car and unloads the car. It comes as a kit you have to build and Paint it’s from Walthers Models Thanks for the complement Click image for larger version

            Looks like you have been having a good time with this little project Lee. Nice variety of colors on the creek bank. Should be the bomb when you get the dry bed finished and all weeded up.......trashed up a bit, maybe an old tire or a rusty bicycle frame etc.

              Thanks Rick. Still have a lot of work to do probably won’t be any Trash in it I’m modeling it after a place a couple miles from where I live and ever since I can remember far back as a very young kid I’ve never seen any trash in it. It’s a very serene place where the train goes by my Oldest Daughter had her Senior school pictures taken there on the tracks and at that place.

                Took a few pic of the Mashkin White 9000 shuttling some trailers around Wortham. Looks like I’m going have to get that TrucTrain trailer in to the shop for some new Pennsy Disc. I Custom Painted and decaled this trailer many years ago and it’s time to freshen it up a little. Click image for larger version

                  Very nice Lee, I was going through boxes tonight in the den closet and found all my old HO scale Model RXR kits (unbuilt) including 6 cases of DM&IR 26' shorty Ore cars and several Brass Locomotive and cabooses. There's a Module Club that meets on the second Saturday each month at the Mall in Kalispell, I have been invited to run some of my locos on their layout.....we'll see if they can even make a circuit. It's been over 35 years since any of them have had power on them. LOL

                    Sounds good Rick. Go enjoy them while you can or build you a small layout as you know a RXR can be very relaxing and Enjoyable. If you go take lots of pics of your stuff.

                        Have to put it in the stable then Rick. After all, there’s good precedence for that :thumb2:

                          Had thought about that Tim but the Rodents would over run it in no time and they are drastically out of scale:tongue-out3::smiling5:.

                              That's coming on very nicely.
