GM&O 85035, Peco Switches, & YMV Cars Decaled

Welcome GM&O 85035 & Peco Switches - Y&MV Decals

Today was a busy day.  An important shipment arrived and some decaling was completed.  The first two pieces of track ordered specifically for my Vicksburg Terminal layout are now in the Man Cave! These are both switches which I primarily ordered to use as templates for the planning process.  One is a Peco Insulfrog #7 right hand curved turnout and the other is a Peco Electrofrog #8 right hand turnout.  Both are beautiful pieces of track!  

In addition, a singe Tangent Scale Models 4180 Airslide covered hopper was also included. This car is my first GM&O purchase and I am glad to have it!  GM&O 85035 is one of four GM&O offerings in their first release of the 4180 Airslide.  This car has printed instructions on the side that state: "WHEN EMPTY RETURN VIA REVERSE ROUTE TO MP RR ATCHISON KS FLOUR LOADING ONLY".  Very cool!

I have also decaled one side of the two All-Door Boxcars I painted earlier this week.  Y&MV 2020 and Y&MV 2025 now have a face!  The Y&MV 2025 is marked for shipment to Hank Stephens in appreciation for the time and skill he devoted to designing the artwork for these cars.  The two previously painted cars Y&MV 2028 and Y&MV 2035, were on-hand to serve as guides for the decaling process.  The fleet is growing!
