To access my station, I designed this roadway ramp.  It is inspired from my memories of access road ramps in Rhinecliff and Beacon, N.Y.  They are  access to  railroad stations and ferry terminals on the Hudson River.

They are made from Rix bridge components.

Stopped in to my local hobby shop saturday to pick up a few things and noticed they had a whole shelf full of Model Power freight cars marked down to just 5 bucks each. Now normally I would stay away from Model Power but at 5 bucks I figured why not. They already had knuckle couplers. All I needed to do was add metal wheels and do some serious weathering. Here are the results.

Inspiration- The base of an N scale Bachmann tank car. I thought it looked more like a Heavy Duty flat car so it became the following.

Yes I am aware it is upsidedown that is a glitch on the mobile platform.

Info- A paper tube (would have preferred styrene) between to "flatcars" The photos tell the rest,
