Looking at the US Mail end of the car at least it got the 'headend' -- must have been letters only since Baggage and Wells Fargo had the biggest doorway!
Ok, past Veteran's Day consist--reflecting 2 USAF boxcars for future base locations; Army for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) weed out process *Chemical Warfare @ Fort McClellan AL; Navy for EOD Surface @ Indianhead MD; Marines for EOD @ Quantico VA. Later additions include an AIR-2A Genie nuclear tipped rocket from my F-106 1st base assignment Mr. Bones 95th Fighter Intercepotr Squadron (FIS) Dover DE; Huey-flyouts to blow up downed choppers. *my jeep that I got from Long BInh CID **former black one and not running, replaced engine and tranny at Bien Hoa [my 2nd tour] and painted to be a twin of the one we had for gas & service!! OV-10 on a flatcar *saved a weapons loader life @ Bien Hoa arm area - he moved sideways into prop and severed left arm at shoulder. + a few more if I can get to it.

In the past I used (2) of those 6" tracks with the slider rails *half rails that slid in contraction or expansion. Sorry, do not have a pic right now (might have been Aristo), and now that I am off the ground, track ties are screwed to the white plastic trim board.
Chuck, I have the sister 'Legoland Green Mill" over the years for summer dispaly here in Northeast Pennsylvania, the "clear Coat" has been flaking off. After eMails with Legoland, they suggest crushed almond shells for the blasting, baking soda too light. ? - this coarser Baking Soda you reference, do you think it may work? I have not been able to locate almond shells as described.
I for one appreciate your knowledge and pictures in explanation!
