Santa Hopper

Post by RONALD »

My BD is in November, and I bought myself a hopper car from Titan Trains.

As usual, they are slow on shipping and it arrived at UPS Frate Palatine on Tuesday.

Today, it was unloaded onto our newest section of track across the driveway; I'm recovering from hip surgery, and could only stand in the doorway taking photos.

An appropriate car delivered on December 25th.

It's amazing, I posted this not only as an xmas post, but to also to see how observant Home Machinist viewers were.

After around 200+ "Railroaders" viewed these images, nobody questioned why a hopper would just have Santa on its side.

The answer: "Fe" was removed in Photoshop; "Seeing is believing" is no longer true for any photos!

Below is another Photoshop change for 1 January.

After waiting for it, I didn't want to be the one to tell you that the lettering was incomplete!

I thought you left it off on purpose! I like the idea of a Santa Hopper! I even showed it to my wife.
