Slab Sides




Something unique to Canadian Railways and something that I saw frequently passing by my home in the Spring of the year were Slab Sided Hopper Cars of both Canadian National and Canadian Pacific.
When I heard Trueline trains were coming out with these cars I had to get a few.
I think they fit right in on my layout.

All in fun Man! Glad to see you finally made a few posts. You should spread 'em out more though - maybe one a week rather than all in one day. HA!

Thanks for the comments Rob.
I don't recall ever seeing a clean RS-18 so I had to follow suit.
As for the station it does look quite at home on my layout.
Hope all is well with you and Christina and the next time you are out this way drop by.
