Looks great James

The unit sure looks sharp and has just the right amount of weathering to showcase it. I think one thing people have a hard time comprehending is the benefit of having a smaller more prototypical layout like yours. You can take your time and model a single unit accurately. This unit will then see lots of action on the railroad unlike super detailing 50 units and having no place to operate. This also allows someone to take the time and model a few accurate rail cars without filling up tubs of kits that will never be built. Keep up the great work and great focus!

P.S. I try to practice what I preach but I still have tubs of unfinished kits and locomotives. I am trying to get a small number of accurate cars and a single reliable unit to operate on my switching layout.

Thanks Greg,

It's been fun to do the research and find out what actually ran on the Grimes Line during my modeled era. Building an maintain and roster is easier since, like you said, I'm not out buying every freight car known to man to populate the layout.

This is one reason why yours and the Logansport and Indiana Midland are two of my favorite Model Railroads. I just hope that someday, when I have my own layout space, that I can do it up right and interestingly, but I have far too many varied interests still.
