Working on the railroad. Can you say “Zmall”? I’m just dabbling in the small scale. I think it’s cool but is IS pricey.
A set is $350+ most everything is ala carte & it’s expensive.
Wasn’t difficult to paint the loco or caboose. Decals not hard either. #modeltrains #sooline #Zscale
I KNEW you were classy! #sooline
Made some good progress on a scene that I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

Needed some 40’ flat cars. Found good intel in Ken Soroos Soo line Freight Equipment & Cabooses. Avail: Sooline.org
Painted yesterday, touch up today, decking this pm. Decals tomorrow.

Decaling the 212-A tonight. Finished painting and sealing yesterday. Decals will dry through tmrw pm. Then I’ll seal them in with clear matte.
Then the glass, lenses, and deets go on & we’re rollin’!
A far cry from where she started life as a NS F7.

Did some scenery the past couple of days.
On (follow on FB) the Soo Line West and on our #NMRA 3rd Div PNR 2x2’ mini-layout in.
Things turned out well.

Love me an RS-11! The #SooLine never ran any but, what if they did.
ALCO was producing the RS11 but were playing from behind vs EMD.
I took an old Model Power loco in CPR and basically did a rebuild.
New paint, engine, driveline, added decoder. Decals today and I’ll seal it and reinstall glass tmro
Always need track cleaning cars BUT they have to fit the vibe and ATSF is incongruous with the #sooline vibe. So, an effective “trainsformation” occurred!

Soo ALCO FA-1 207A is moving the cattle on a Saturday evening.

Have done more work on the post office. 1) Raised the roof pitch some. 2) used ingenuity to mount the post office sign!! 😆

I ran into a Mitch Whalsten photo on Flickr the other day.
Interestingly, it was the same day that the farmers co-op decided to sell the elevator to a couple of third generation Swedish immigrant farmers.
It looks good in Whitetail, MT 674 miles west of Minneapolis on the Soo Line

The Soo Line RR went as far West as Whitetail, MT. My Great Grand Father was a road master for the Soo in NW ND. I'm claiming that he kept the line to Whitetail running!
Today Whitetail has 9 residents.
I'm including it on my layout. I need to build the post office. Should be fun! #trains #sooline
First pulpwood loads. Feedback said smaller logs from car one. #trains #sooline #modeltrains
#doingthework on the railroad. I model the #sooline in the transition era 1954-61 in HO scale. #trains #nmra #modelrailroad

Had this RSC-2 show up DOA so it’s getting a new motor/paint and going to roll as Soo 369 pictured.

Better result from the Static King. Thicker glue and extended time hovering with the static 🤴
Working that fence line.
GP-9 #406 hustles West in front of threatening skies. The sprint is on for a meet at Portal, ND with the CPR. #sooline #modelrailroad #hoscale #trains
