[PRCo] Re: Pittsburgh dump car

[hwandrews at wowway.com]

Jim - thanks for the kind words.  I've attached a few photos that were done 
last year when I showed my Modules at the NRMA Division 6 public show. 

I don't have a layout - no room in the house for that.  So, I'm busy
buildingmodules. 
Right now I have the 2 you see here and a 3rd which is another end loop.  I
do have a spare 
bedroom I use as my 'train room' where I can set up the modules and work on
them 
at home.  I've just started a 4th module, a corner so I can fit things into
my room 
and give us more flexiblity setup at train show. 

Guess I need to add - the Detroit United Railways Club is alive and well. 
There are 
about 20 of us active here in the area.  About half of us have or are
building 
modules that we take out the train shows in the area.  Yea, East Penn is the

inspiration for that. 

If you'd like to see some progress photos of my modules going together I did
a little 
web site:

It is rather out of date - but I've been spending time building modules 
rather than updating htlm.  When (if?) I get time will update the web 
site.
