To All: Dave Capron's Great Lakes Northern RR (GLN) needed a building to disguise

          the corner entrance of tracks from his main train room to the Bluefield Yard.

         I built Wedin International to serve this purpose. The main components are

         DPM module pieces. I added signs, weathering, glazing and dull coat to

To All: I know! it's not prototypical. My youngest son works at Starbucks (the best coffee around),

          so I painted and lettered a car for that company using decals purchased on Ebay. Enjoy.

To All: I love the unusual. When I spotted the photo of a converted Southern RR boxcar for use

          in Kaolin Clay loading,  I decided to model one. Here are the pix  of modeled, then painted

         lettered and weathered finished car. The starting point  is a Kurtz Kraft unpainted PS-1 kit

         that I assembled. I added coupler cut bars and underframe brake lines and components.  .

To All: How about this prototype rerailer!
