Updates

With the Indy IV premier, life has been busy. But work continues!
The SBT has been painted in preparation of track laying. Paint was free, always a good thing.
The business coach Galena has received decals and is ready for light weathering.

SBT #10 has also been given a full set of decals and now awaits couplers, handrails and weathering.


As you can see from the photos, the locomotive received a Nathan M5 horn and an EMD style hood mount bell. Both were installed on the locomotive by NW Shipbuilding, as they were close and cheap.

And the first piece of rolling stock, a GN double sheathed 40' boxcar is now on the property.

I built it from an Accurail kit, and was very pleased with the results. The SBT has very limited rolling stock inventory and most of the cars used over the road are those of the GN, MILW and NP.
