Update

Hi Folks, sorry for the rather lengthy delay on updates. The charging "Larry" and quench car were completed for a train show that I attended in early March down in the Atlanta area. The show was great, but as usual not long enough. Once I got home I began tackling the "honey-do-list" my wife craft before I left that I promised would be taken care of when I got back. By the time I finished the list a few weeks had past and the good weather here in North Carolina set in. Long story short, I spent yet another few weeks getting the yard cleaned up for the summer. Well enough with the excuses.

I plan on starting the painting process on the huletts in the next few days. I've been practicing the painting technique that I want to try that will resemble a pair of huletts in their final years. The side panels of this coal tipples storage bin and vertical supports are close to what I'm looking for.
