To All: Here is a recently installed sign on the layout. A round about tongue-in-cheek nod to DCC control. Photo by Elvin Howland. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout.

To All: Denny Jelsma of Jacksonville, Florida contributed his model railroad decal so I could do a car representing his pike. I used Railgraphics data sheet decals for the capacity data and dimensional data, etc. to finish the lettering. I followed by weathering with Bragdon Weathering Powders. I will run this HO scale Train Miniatures car on my layout. Photo by Elvin Howland. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout.

To All I am revisiting the SPD boxcar. This line was a Northern Pacific RR predecessor. I finally got around to weathering the car. Bragdon Weathering Powders was the medium used. Photo By Elvin Howland. Yours, Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout.

To All: It has been a long day at Paul's Pulpwood siding on the First Coast RR and Paul wants to go home. Time to shut out the lights and close up shop. Photo by Elvin Howland. Yours Elvin Howland/E. St. Louis Rail Group Layout.
