Yes, it’s a model - 1
1: With the Missouri River in the background, Jeff Meyer
photographed D&TS 7023
, empty and heading to a steel mill in
Gary, IN for another load of coiled steel.
Jeff built and photographed the model. He began with a Red
Caboose kit and reworked much of the details, including
new grab irons, brake rigging, and air hoses, Exactrail trucks
and Sergent couplers. The model was weathered with acryl-
ics and oil washes. The model is on a diorama using Micro
Engineering code 70 track and Highball ballast.
