Model Railroading > SP Beet rack Rut

Still working on this train. Working on 5 more racks with custom extensions that the Red Caboose did not do. Believe it or not, the hard part is done on these 5 cars. 47 competed, 5 (photo 1) on the work bench, 12 more to go. 
Photo 2 is at the 47 cars at the Crockett Model railroad club with Mark McLeod's SP power on the point

Quite a train

Great job neighbor, that's quite a bit of work.

That reminds me, I can't make it by next week to mow your lawn. When's the hard cover book coming out?

Wow, outstanding work!

That is interesting about the loads but....He used  pomegranate seeds from smaller pomegranates mixed with 1/32 scale potatoes to form a mold? Out of what, Laytex? Then made the molds out of? Just wondering

No Castings. I'm using seeds from small pomegranate's. I wash the seeds well in water and bake in an oven at 200 degrees for 30 minutes to prevent germination and mold. I also use Juweela Scenic 1/32 scale potatoes. a mixture of these two work well for me. Photo is what the 1/32 potatoes look like

WOW. Thank you for sharing the amazing work. Love the train, both the cars and the typical, very random SP lashup!
