February 2025 - This and That

Don Janes is now running some more modern models around his Green Mountain Division. On the lead are two new Rapido offering. Don Janes photo.

Some photos that I grouped together for you to see this month...George Dutka  

A post card view of the station which once stood in Dutton, Ontario. My son lives there now and no tracks run through town now.

I came across a BC Rail unit on Feb 8 2025 here in London, Ont. This view is on track 24 along Pine St.

The engine came into town on train 509 from Sarnia. It is in the process of adding a multi level on a cut of cars.

City Taxi which is located in the back alley has the brick wall painted at one time green then white washed white some years later, What I wanted to show you are the two bottles on the loading dock which is now blocked in. When I was cleaning the 3-D dumpster from its mold all these little plastic pieces broke off the sprue which looked like milk and pop bottles. So I decided to use them on the structures. There are a lot of them attached to the sprue.

The back alley scene is getting near complete. 4 of the 5 buildings are now done.

An early morning view of a EB Amtrak departing Amsterdam, NY on Jan 23, 2025.

EB Amtrak passed the old freight house in Amsterdam, NY on Jan 23, 2025

The stone freight house is a very long structure with 19 freight doors on the roadside wall.
