Prototype information
Weathering a large scale 50' boxcar
The large scale forum that I regularly participate in (largescalecentral) has a yearly contest for 30 days. Spend no more than $30 and complete a project. Some years we get a theme, other years it's what ever we want. This year the challenge was open whatever you want. Rules are simple.
1. Have fun
2. Spend no more than $30, you get 1 'free' bottle of paint, and 1 'free' thing of glue.
3. Anything you have on hand prior to Jan. 1 is considered free.

White Deer & Loganton Layout Plan/Build - Pennsylvania Narrow Gauge c.1910
Hey, Gang. Thought I'd start a new blog for the construction of what I'm initially calling A Full Day of Trains at Loganton.
My rambling, 11-page (so far!) blog on prototype research, historical context, and developing some potential layouts is over at https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/34770. Take a look for some of the background on this and other (hopefully future!) layouts. I'm not done with all the information there, but thought it would be good to break out and start something fresh for what I'm actually going to build.
SP Fuel cars at Dunsmuir

My free calendars for 2019: Narrow Gauge in Colorado and US Dieselpower
Same procedure as last year! I like to share my free downloadable calendars available at my modellcom-blog. Sorry, but the site is only in german, but you may use the translation function to get a little idea about what is going on there (railroads, real and model and card modeling).

Can any ID this AHM/Tempo engine to prototype class? I can't seem to find an ID for the type.
