Some decal work. These are about 20 years old, so somewhat problematic.

HO 80s/90s CSX, NS, & Conrail layout resurrection.
- Thread starter minitnkr
- Start date
My layout uses spine cars of two types and flat cars w/hitches. One is trailers only & the other takes trailers and/or std. containers of 20' or 40'. Trailertrain where the trailers have rail wheels attached or use special rail trucks have been found unsatisfactory in most trials so I don't use them here.
Yeah, the double stacks are impressive. You can imagine the effort it took to make all the routes conform to the new standard. I believe Europe is going through this now. They seem to have lots more tunnels than we do.
Paul I absolutely love this thread. over the holidays i visited a number of miniature train displays and I am always in awe of the layouts, buildings, trains etc. this brings back such great memories of the train layout that my grandfather built in his attic when I was a youngster. Keep up the great work
Stop by when you're in town Joe, we're almost always at home.
Some decal work on the mules, a gondola & possibly the yard.
Thanks to Lee D. for helping out w/some containers & an intermodal forklift, saved me $100+ for a PiggyPacker. I used some legs from my container crane as he didn't need them for containers to upgrade my existing forklift.
New, needs mirrors, Mars light, driver & weathering yet.
Modified, I think this will work.

Some more decal & road work & possible operations. New laptop is fast & colors are amazing.
Road ready for last coat.
Another view. Carry attachment needs some touch-up & weathering.
Your thoughts?

Not my thing Paul, so no informed comments from me, but enjoyable to watch from the sidelines nonetheless
More roadwork & paint.
Some details added.

Great stuff Paul. A huge amount of work.
I just keep enjoying this thread, more and more with every photo Paul… Love, love, love it
Looking good Paul. Very organized Intermodal yard
Now that TOFC elements have been removed from the container yard, I can reorganize it. Here's my thoughts so far.

Same Neil, but as I'm finding, it is amazing watching what others are up to. With me it's probably envious of the space to have such a project!!!
