Here's the L&N Switcher out of Loyall, Ky., on its westbound run to Slate Fork, Va., via trackage rights on the Southern's Slate Fork Branch. It's March 1978.

Nice to see more pictures of the Slate Fork.

Not much to show for the Summer. Was out nearly every weekend with my Who band and had plenty of outdoor work to do. 285 was the only real accomplishment. Hopefully, Model Railroading Season will be more productive.

Yes, 285 is the Atlas model. She's been mudded and oiled and chooch puked up fairly heavily. The weathering is gouache dot fade weathering, plus airbrushed filth all over the pilot, trucks and tank. I tried out Ammo Products 'Fresh Oil' and 'Fuel' staining paints. I like them, particularly for the oil dripped all over the walkways and on the roof.

The wheelslip decelostats are Gotham Rail & Marine and are fragile in the extreme. I like how they look, but they need to be made from a more forgiving material for runners like 285 here.

Moonie, actually...

Too cool! I was speaking as a someone who's bass playing has been inspired by Squire/Lee/Entwhistle

I like that logo Bob.
Nice subtle weathering on both cars as well.

I received a couple Scale Trains locos and had to pull Piru Creek out for a shot or two.
