Good-lookin' barns, Ed. :-D My cows are wandering around without a home, although I plan to eventually build a barn or two somewhere: The horses are somewhat under control: ...although, without reins, the one in the foreground moved while having her picture taken: ...and some are still on...

It looks like Barney Secord has been at it again! :eek:;):-D Wayne

Actually, if the whisker is sticking out too far, probably the coupler is too. ;):-D Kadee makes a wide assortment of coupler styles, with varying shank lengths, to suit almost any situation. While they may not be the whisker type, there is probably a better choice for your particular...

More VIA, with its own steam generator: Wayne

Can do!

I can do CN:

I've got nothing in the way of WP, and not much in the way of plugdoor cars, either - at least this is a boxcar with double (almost) doors: Wayne

Gee, Deano, at the rate you're going, Santa will be hard pressed to bring you anything that you don't already have. :rolleyes:;):-D Nice finds - I especially like those Hiawatha cars. :thumb::thumb: Wayne
