A few weeks ago (okay maybe more than a few weeks), I received a package in the mail from the headquarters of the Kings Port & Western. The virtual op sessions we have come to enjoy and participate makes the exchange of freight cars more realistic as they travel from layout to layout.
The first set of cars were a pair of 2 Bay hopper cars. The KP&W paint shop did a great jog on these.
These will be put into service with the next P.C.C.M. when coal loads are requested.
Next car was a 40' Box car in the classic KP&W paint scheme. The NY State logo with the railroad name on it is awesome.
The cars needed to be moved to the freight yard so a call was made to get a switcher to move the cars over to Rock Ridge. When I went looking for some freight cars in my inventory, I forgot (more like misplaced) this caboose.
The transfer caboose was made by Bluford shops. I probably have it a couple years now as I bought it in a train store in Florida. Brought it up here before I started to build the Florida layout. It's staying in New Jersey, that's for sure!
Here's the short move from the secondary track by Cargill to Rock Ridge Yard.
A big "Thank You!" goes out to Ralph for his great work and generosity! Watch for these cars in future virtual op sessions!
Nice to see the KP&W rolling stock expand southward!! Nice job on the cars Ralph! Thanks for sharing them Sir Neal!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the cars Neal! The transfer caboose is a beaut too and it was fun to see them in the video move.
