One of my favorite things to do when I get a model is to research it for vintage pictures.

Here's an example of what I like to do..........

Here's a Union Freightway cab and trailer leaving town....

In The Classified...........

This photo was dated 1958 Wyoming.

No date on the last two pictures.

I couldn't find much more info on this company but I really like the last two pictures because of the surrounding details that can be seen. Yeah, that's my exciting Sunday

Good stuff Joe!

Digging into history can be very mentally stimulating. I love looking up photos of old buildings and railroads.

The Internet has really made research so much earlier and accessible. It’s truly incredible what you can find.

That's one of the side benefit of Model Railroading. Doing research be it an engine, rolling stock be it freight or passenger. The structure , or operation of a railroad. I am always amazed at the knowledge of model railroaders and especially here at OGF the sharing of same. I have learned a lot here in the short time of OGF existence.

It is lots of fun researching the history of your scenes and you have a better opportunity to display it correctly. Love the 2019 shot of the Union Feightways in the snow ditch.

The cab with the long hood is different. It's a great addition to your layout.
