April "This and That"

I spent a day this week with Don Janes picking up stuff he ordered at Otter Valley and ITLA. We had not been together since last fall. Don and Nick at his workbench which is his mother in laws old dining room table which was altered for more height. 

Just a bit about what I have been up to and what I have seen. I am heading to New England to attend the Rutland Railroad Historical Society Convention next weekend. It was the late 1990's the last time I attended. Not sure who I will know there these days, but it will be fun...George Dutka 

Nick's workbench when he is not laser cutting kits he has a nice surface for getting some modeling done.

I was painting my trucks the other day for a Proto CP paper car. I used Vallejo rust texture on the side frames and wheels on one side as seen above and cinnamon brown for the wheel faces on the other side as seen below. One car two looks.

Chris Wright a New England modeler from the St. Catherines area had a table at the Woodstock train show last Sunday. I seem to always pick up something from him.

If you like graffiti there was a young gentleman that would do your car while you wait for $10. 

I scanned this Peter Mumby photo after having a chuckle. Thought this might make an interesting model to add to your layout. A CP work train in London, Ontario brings along all the luxuries of home. Feb. 11, 1990.
