    Dear L&A Ry, very interesting update! Love the way you’re doing the spline and homasote. Cool to see how those tracks come together. Because you said you’re going to glue the track down, are you also gonna spike ‘m? Only am familiar with the plio-bond. The down side of such contact adhesives is that they can ‘soap up’ when they come in contact with water. Cheerio

      @friscobob56 Yes. She was 7 and won the 18 and under employee only contest. 616 and 642 were painted in November of 75, and should I remember correctly, 616 was repainted January 1977, with 642 repainted somewhere between January and March of 1978. After 1976 they no longer required to lead trains.

    If you look at any locomotive shots from in and around the KCS in Minden, you will run across the name Mose Crews. A wealth of knowledge of the KCS in that area, tons of photos. I operate with him on the Sue Line Model RR in Shreveport weekly. The Sue Line railroad was torn out of the site in Blanchard, but is currently being rebuilt in Shreveport, darn near operational again as of 12/23.
