New Haven Acquisitions for the HRC

The Hoschton Railway Company took delivery of 3 New Haven EMD F3 "B' units today.    This acquisition  marks the first of many future New Haven rolling stock.   First order of business is to find 2 matching powered "A" units.  A special thanks to my friend Sir John for pointing out how much I was missing by not having any NH trains represented on the HRC. 



New Pipe and Coil loads

Seems like the NYCTL shops are working overtime these days.  Sir John worked his magic and created some great pipe and coil loads for the HRC.  They look great and fit perfectly.  Note - some of the cars pictured below are scheduled for repainting into either PC, PRR or Hoschton road names.

I think I will apply a dose of weathering to the loads so they will match up other steel loads I have. These loads will be a great addition to the Gantry Crane Facility and yet be built Steel plant located on the west side of Hoschton. Big thank you to John for the great gifts.
