Paul,
Just had a catch-up. That looks very good now in its half built by state. Can only imagine what it will look like once finished.
Very well done.

Thanks guys. Temporary spare parts storage. Too true. PaulE
Will plant more. PaulE
Finally found a pic of a similar skeleton stacker I have in my container yard. PaulE
Paul Nice find. If you need a pic of stacked 53’ chassis that they put on a rail car let know. Here’s something you might can use I took the other day in St. Louis it’s a special design flat car with a rail Switch on it. 
At last, a use for train set set track!
Thanks Lee, good catch. PaulE
PaulE whats happening on the layout ?

Nuttin. Mojo burned out.
Sorry to hear that mate. I hope it returns as this was a great build.
Thanks guys. I'm sure it will. I just needed a military fix as I've been reading military stuff lately like 'Tank Rider' by Evgeni Bessonov, 'Panzer Destroyer' by Vasiliy Krysov, & 'Red Army Tank Commander' by Vasiliy Bryukhov. Dzohn would enjoy these I think.
Found this WIP ore car in the stash while rooting for decals. Forgot how much fun these little buggers can be.

Nice.....when I was modeling the DM&IR I was buying these by the case from MDC. They were fun to build and detail. Only problem was they suffered from extended coupler pockets and did not look correct for a supposedly close coupled car. Seems you don't have that problem with this car.....is it modified or a different mfg?

Don't remember buying this type MDC ore car, only have some repurposed Athearn & Roundhouse boxes left, trashed the rest. I have four different types, two modern & two older bottom dump types like this one. I use #5 Kadees. Tried closer couplers, but they couldn't handle 18" rad. turns.

Thanks for those titles Paul, I'm sure I would esp if they non fiction. ? If they are I'll have a look on Amazon Kindle.:thumb2:
They are authored by the dudes who were in it, can't vouch for accuracy, but are supposed to be true accounts.
