As I have done for the past few years, I did the LDSig tour at the NMRA National Convention.
I took a bunch of pictures, and encourage you to look at the full gallery on richmond-terminal.org, but here is a sampling of what you will see:
That rail is STEEL, by the way.. Handlaid decades ago.
Love some Heritage style units!
The gallery has over 100 pictures - don't miss it!
I had put a post together 2 years ago about my work on a run of custom painted 57' Mechanical reefers, painted for Hood Brothers Packing.
The one shortcoming on the pilot model, was the lack of the lube plate decal to add the final detail to 5800.
I bought a decal sheet of only the lube plate detail and it has been sitting around for over 18 months. I finally decided it was time to get some additional cars completed.
Number 5801 and 5802 have been added to the roster!
The year's final session was held on December 8th.
A full crew enjoyed a wonderful lunch, and ran the schedule.
Many issues identified in November had been resolved, so only a few issues were found during this session.
The priority on the layout for the next couple of months is to install and implement control of the signals to enter Acca yard from the north, and start moving in the direction of having a dispatcher sometime in 2025.
I didn't get a chance to snap as many pictures as I wanted, so I will just include one on this post.
More pictures can be found on richmond-terminal.org
