WHEEL PAINTING/HAPPY EASTER

Recently, I have been busy painting wheelsets. Here are some of the results...

The car on the right has its factory-applied wheelsets, the car on the left has replacement wheelsets that I painted. Notice the improved appearance.

This Conrail CoilSHEILD car now has painted wheelsets as well, which also highlight the weathered trucks.

A special "high and wide" train passes through town -the Easter Train!

While the Rock Island -painted engine on the head end is interesting enough, the real treat -literally- is what is loaded on the cars; giant chocolate bunnies!

Protectively wrapped and securely strapped to the cars, they are headed east to parts unknown...

(Okay, they are headed to "known parts"; mouths, stomachs, hips, etc.)

Bringing up the rear is a caboose whose colors match the wrapping on the bunnies!

HAPPY EASTER!
