My big projects last winter were building some structures for Goshen, New York, to use on my future Erie Railroad layout. The first was the Conklin and Cumming Coal Elevator. I  modeled it based on the photos I could find (found more when I was done!). I also used some elements inspired from some FSM kits.

Here is a photo of the Coal Elevator behind the Trolley Office early in the 20th century.

In addition to my interest in the Erie (really my main interest in modeling) I am also fond of the DL&W and NYO&W. Here I built a Sparrow's Point Division DL&W wood Caboose. In the second photo are two other wood caboose kits for the Erie and NYO&W.

Along with the Erie Stillwells, I also built a Funaro anf Camerlengo Twin Tank Milk Car (Borden's). I have three more to build!

 I have not posted since spring 2013. But now that it is getting cold, I am back into modeling for the dark and snowy months. Last winter I worked on a number of project that I have quite yet finished. I started a Erie Stillwell coach and combine. These are both Funaro & Camerlengo resin kits.

In addition, I built a Erie Modernized coach by Bethlehem Car Work. I wish I had bought more of them because they have been discontinued and never come up on ebay! and all  brass version are too expensive!

It was a complex kit with brass car sides.
