Wait... what did *I* do?????

I have seen a flatcar a few times now that I just can't identify, it is a fairly clean freshly painted red and has a few small brackets sticking up about a foot from the bed but not all the way across less than 2ft. wide. Anyone know what this may be 

Let's try posting a video - this is test train on newly-scenic'd area, coming off the Ophir low-line, through what will be Vance Jct, and starting a 4% climb on the branch to Telluride.

Not sure this will work - but let's try...

This is the layout I've been working off and on for a little over 2 years. This is my second larger layout (beyond the size of a sheet of plywood), but this is the first one that was planned out better and hopefully will reach completion some day. It is not so large that it can't be built by one person.

Rather more quickly than I expected, I managed to make a decision about whether to build Glanton or Cornhill next.
Cornhill is the interchange between the Antioch Southern and Cornhill and Atherton railroads and as such will be a more significant area. Buildings will be more substantial and more of them, so I decided to build Glanton first, which is a bit more rural and open. It also links the completed scenes of Insular Gorge and (from some time ago) Matrimony hill; aka "The Wedding Cake".

I designed and built the Nicholas & Ashley Creek RY to be operated either by myself or with a crew of up to 4 people.  I am several years into construction now and the trains are beginning to run.  I haven't started formal operations yet, but I'm exploring ways and means to get there. 

This blog will chronicle developing operations on my railroad.  I hope to show what I'm doing and discuss operating ideas with others.  Hopefully this blog will be useful and interesting to those thinking about how to operate their model railroads.

Before & After:

My passenger cars need some people so I ordered and received a couple packages from China and was pleasantly surprised that the figures are not badly done.

In one of my previous posts I made mention about expanding the railroads that would be operating on the layout.
