A Different Kind of T.O.F.C.

Greetings All,

This week I had some fun building a couple of trailer kits and transporting the models via train to their final destination. Let's take a look:

Penn Central Train VN-4 that originated in Selkirk makes it's way thru Bedford NY towards Terminal Yard.

VN-4's power is this trio of Atlas Alcos that I painted into PC units.

Bedford Tower Operator 1/87th scale John B does a double take as he checks out these two trailers on flatcar.

That's not your everyday T.O.F.C.!

 The trailers are from Walthers Scene Master line.

Once VN-4 is yarded at Terminal Yard the guys come out to check  the unusual T.O.F.C. load.

The following day the Empire Belt with this GP9m-FB1-GP9m lash up with 1/87th scale Senior Engineer Sir Neal at the throttle will take the T.O.F.C. car and others in train EC-1 to their North Side Yard in Empire City

EC-1 meets the Coal Job as it makes it way to North Side Yard.   

The T.O.F.C. car passes the Empire City rail fan park where these two trailers are headed.

1/87th scale Sir Larry is out of the Hohman Ave tower as EC-1 arrives at North Side Yard.

1/87th scale Senior Engineer Sir Neal brings EC-1 in on track 3. The T.O.F.C. car will be cut from the train here.  

 The T.O.F.C. car is then shoved back onto the team track.

 A Matchbox forklift provides the muscle to lift the trailers off the the flatcar.

With the trailers off the flatcar the consignees have arrived to pick them up.

 A couple of days later the guys gather to sample the menu. 

The Empire City rail fan park now offering a variety of food for all that gather to watch the trains. 

 There's even Good Humor ice cream for dessert!

 1/87th scale rail fanning has never been this good!!!
