My 7 1/2" gauge hopper is back in service again after my brother rebuilt the trucks. Just need to letter it now.
The photo was taken at his place in Phoenix.

That looks great Ray. That black thing inside is the right color but what are those 2 light spots?

Wow!
Very cool Ray!:cool:
Working on that probably throws you into shock after the N scale stuff you've been doing!:eek: :D

I have a 4-4-2 Atlantic I built from scratch. It is battery powered using a rewired automotive starter motor with chain drive. It's in bad shape and in need of a rebuild. The Pa. winters took it's toll on it.
This is the only photo I have on disk, not a very good one. I need to scan some of the ones I have after it was built about 7 years ago.

Remember...it's for fun!
Man Ray, I didn't know you were making stuff like this! Fantastic! Say, I hope the railroad bulls don't see that rider!
