Something I've been working on...

Love the stripes on the sprinkler car, Tim. Good old sparkies all around. :good:

I'm no juice-head like the rest of you are but this thread is fun to watch. http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/sign_rockon.gif

Thanks, Jonatan, I appreciate your comment!

Rick, there's hope for you yet! You know, traction is almost as good as narrow gauge. And there were narrow gauge trolleys, too ;)

Assorted narrow gauge work cars at East Portland yards, Portland, OR, 1940's.

That 10 looks great! What year version is that?

Thanks, Jim. I'm aiming for the 1938-1940 era. This is more of an exercise for me than anything else. I recently discovered buried in my hall closet an old CD that contained a varied collection of TSM files from early on during my first forays into Ten territory. It contained one nearly complete model of a Ten, minus some small details and some "experiments" that contain some highly valuable (to me) parts. For the past three nights I've been piecing together the #1044, the last car in PE's original 1913 order from Jewett. I eventually want to construct the fenders and animate them to rotate up and down with the change in ends.

Here she is after last night's last generation.



This is good therapy, as long as I don't space out taking my medication!

Beautiful, as usual, Tim. I'm happy to see you at work on the PE again.

Thanks, John, it's good to be tweaking around with modeling again.

I'll send you the car when it's ready, Jim. In the meantime would you want these 950's?
