There was a bit time so I started a small project for an future addition on a caboose which will be prepared for use with an SP loco model. This caboose should receive a switch man with an illuminated lantern who should receive his place on the platform steps of this caboose.

"White Swans" ....

These are running as new billboard reefer models in HO-scale here!

Read a short overview about my just finished project in the following posts.

In last days I finished a series of small oil lamps, here a picture.

See a gallery with some remarks how I built them - http://us-modelsof1900.de/?p=12891

Here yet one of my railroad employees.

I would like to write about a wood shed which I built some times ago after I have seen Pelsea's descrition of construction of a sawmill - see http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/24663. I found a lot of analogies of his building and its construction to that what I built and so I will like to present my model work.

This is the result ...

A few weeks ago I purchased this Norfolk & Western caboose of class CG, a model that should run with my freight train of the Thirties with my M2 loco of N&W.

September '15.

I started a more extensive work four weeks ago.
My friend asked for building of eight PFE R-70-2 reefers from Sunshine Models, the so-called "Super Giant reefers".

More than 20 years was this small model of a small steam engine in my stock and never it has to do a real job.

This small class G1 consolidation of N&W was a great workaholic beside all the other great engines of N&W, because it was built in 1897 already and was in service until 1955. A real long life for American steam engines!

One of my older projects was to build this 52' B&O boxcar where the prototype was built in 1867! Nearly 150 years ago!

I was fascinated to build this model where the body looks like a hopper with sloped ends - however where the car was used as a boxcar for transport of flour barrels!

Some weeks ago a picture was shown here ...

... a really impressive and heavy load!

It was a very fascinating load for me and so I hoped to find solutions for all needed things and techniques for modeling, load including car.
