This is a continuation of my original blog which documents the design and building of a model railroad, the Paducah and Lake Erie, a free-lance bridge line set in the modern time to replicate the coal hauling railroads of southwestern Pennsylvania. To see the original blog, go to www.blackdiamondsroute.blogspot.com. Click on any photo to enlarge it. You can view some of my photos of prototype railroad action at http://billlinson.rrpicturearchives.net.

P&LE Business Car
The P&LE Business Car was a gift from Kenny Heyl and the late Dean Freytag, both of Ashland, Ohio. Freytag, a Master Model Railroader, always said a railroad needed a business car, so the two collaborated to provide the "Sue K. Howard" - my wife's maiden name - for the Paducah and Lake Erie. The car is shown here in front of the Freytag Engine Facility, kit bashed specifically for the P&LE, and thought to be the last structure the internationally-known modeler built before having to go to assisted living.
