Gauge "N" Boxcar TGR#101976

World Tour '03
It’s a tight squeeze between the pallets of beer, so the rescued crew joins the volunteers in immediately working on draining some more beer barrels. As each one is consumed by the parched crew, it’s moved over to the door and rolled out, trying not to hit anything important.

World Tour '03
Postscript:
Tom was roaring drunk for three days, Tricia and her new babies Tina, Tammy, and Teresa are all doing just fine, and the volunteers staggered back to the pub where they will be telling stories for years to come.
Meanwhile, The Gauge “N” boxcar, TGR #101976, is now being prepared for the great Victoria Train Show and then it will be barged off Vancouver Island to continue it’s World Tour ’03…

Thanks for all your comments everybody. The opportunity of getting in on the N-scale World Tour finally spurred me on to get some ballast down, something I've been trying to get to for close to a year !!!
My layout is a shelf, point-to-point 7 ft. long by 10 in. wide. I had to take about a week on each chapter to put ballast down in the area of the shoot and add enough scenics.
I spaced the chapters along the full length of the layout, so now I've just about got all my ballast down. Just one more day to finish the job .
The hardest modelling job was for Chapter 1 ! Actually, I believe it was a shot taken this summer in Arizona, although with the bad fire situation here it could easily have been taken in BC.
The World Tour '03 also spurred me on to complete some major landscaping for Chapter 2, including curbs, road, and parking lot. The building in the background is a cardboard mock-up I've been using for placement and I slapped some watercolor paint on it for the shoot.
It was fiddly work to make all the protest signs for Chapter 4. I used 0.005 styrene and styrene rod and an Optivisor to do the lettering without going blind ! For all scenes, I used Handcraft Designs "Mini-Hold" wax to temporarily hold the figures down, although I had to discard a lot of shots because the halogen lights I used for photography softened the wax and I ended up with a lot of dead people keeled over on the ground !!
I made the potato sack bed for Tricia from a bit of Kleenex squished down with 50/50 diluted white glue and a bit of acrylic paint. The barrel going over the side of the trestle was a bit of PhotoShop 6.0 manipulation.
All in all, it was a fun project and I got about a year's worth of work done on the layout in four weeks !!!

Thanks Jerry. if I was supposed to get it, it would have been sent to me so I guess I will just have to pass on it.
Hi Clerk,
Sorry about the delay as I have been out of town for the past 2 1/2 weeks on urgent business.
The car will be in the mail on Monday morning and you should have it in a few days.
Once again, my most sincere apologies for the delay.
Cheers.
