3: It’s backwoods railroading with the Spruce Coal
and Timber RR. The only action going on at the
moment is to watch the kudzu grow on the well
weathered structures.
Joey Ricard scratch built the structures using low-budget craft
sticks, household materials, clapboard siding and a few commercial
castings. The vines represent Kudzu which he created from furnace
filter, black paint, ground foam and hairspray.
The backdrop is a photograph mounted on 1/8” Masonite that can
be mounted as needed to the fascia of the On30 modular layout.

District layout. A dual-service GP7 spots PS1 boxcar

Its New Paris IN and NYC #5758, a dual-service GP7, is spotting NYC
170699 on the siding at Fisher Brothers. The locomotive is a Proto
2000 model that has been rebuilt, painted, and weathered by Jim
Six. The boxcar is a stock Kadee PS1 with weathering added. The
structure was left unpainted and a rusty wash was applied over the
gray plastic for weathering.
