More Grass.
Track Cleaning Car! Yeah!
It has been a while since I worked on my railroad....You Know, Life gets in the way...I have had operating sessions and done maintenance but I hadn't built anything new until now.
Tired of had cleaning the track and my engines suddenly stopping while running slowly. Dirty track is hard to combat but this car helps.
I made this car by drilling two holes in the bottom then building the "Bright Boy" equipped sled from polystyrene.
After running the car i have found that, while it needs weight, it keeps the track pretty clean.

Uncle Clinchfield Comes for a Visit
My friend Mike came over to visit the Branchline and brought over his Athearne Clinchfield Challenger. This is a superbly detailed engine, it is DCC equiped with sound, and is a blast to operate. Thanks Mike for bringing Uncle Clinchfield over and letting him run.

I am primarily a winter modeler!
I tend to only model during the winter when it is too cold to ride my bicycle and business slows down at work so if there are fewer posts during the summer you might want to check my other blog about my bicycle exploits!

Every bit of Track is laid.
A while back I laid the last bit of track in the roundhouse and forgot to post the pictures.
as you can see all the stalls have track and the programming track is also installed. I weathered the brick and painted the track and turntable.
Making the Cars Dirty!
The car on the left has been made dirty …
The car on the right is still clean…
I accomplished this using chalk pastels, a little water, and old blush brushes. The technique is very easy.
These cars are Atlas with Intermountain wheel sets.
