Title: How something simple... snowballs!!!
Post by: NSMoWandS on April 10, 2012, 01:21:25 PM
Maybe others have this problem too... So, I ordered eight new coal gons(6 bethgons/2coalvayors) for my loaded and empty coal trains. Now they are complete... however, I was able to take four older hoppers off the coal trains and paint them for sand/gravel service. Well, now that I have four more cars for S&G... I need to cut in a switch at the sand and gravel place and lay about another 500 scale feet of track... And I thought I was just buying some new cars!!!!!
