The video has some shots of her. She is a 0-6-0 with a slope back tender. There is pictures on the internet of her.

I have seen the few photos of her on the internet.. I plan on turning a Piko G scale 0-6-0 in to a No.3!

Anyway here is some photos with new track, Isn't overgrown now which is what I want as I'm going for the early 2000's look of the RR.

Not sure if you saw this but there is/was a Mount Union Connecting railroad that had tried to start up. Not sure if it every got pasted the rebuilding track phase. They rebuilt a bit of the dual gauge track in and around Mount Union to operate a small transload business.

Didn't the EBT preservation association want to get revenue earning trains in to Mt Union its mentioned in this video 6 minutes and 48 seconds in to the video. I think them Conrail wagons have been stood there for a few years now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcDBSSUrLOM

Looks Great! I know there isn't a model of a three way stub switch but I think a three way point switch can still be used by the coal tower.

i could work on some coach repaints for you, but only the tgpcdx files. you would have to either create new bin files or replace the old textures. :D do you want the drgw coaches (green) or the dsng coaches (yellow) reskinned? - nate H.

That'd be great, the DSNG coaches here is a couple of pictures of the main coaching stock, I have sorted that 3 way switch I didn't include it by accident! !DUH!

I'm liking them, a lot! Look exactly like my G scale EBT stock, I'm not sure if the EBT ever had closed coaches.. But either way they look nice! Where'd you get the lettering from?

its just a railroad roman font. i think i made it bold and 2 spaces between each word. i am working on an EBT observation gondola now. i cant put East Broad top on the side as it will need to go at the top due to the fact this car has the most difficult textures i have ever seen. thanks, Nate H.
