Elmer Lane always seemed to have an old yellow La with coal on the stub tracks outside the Supervisor's office.
So mine does now too. This was one of a dozen La castings I got from someone (Rod Murgatroyd? Cross Creek?) that were the start of an undisclosed (and inelegant) Stone Train that I started putting together when I built the DI all those years ago.
One of the wagons was de-limestoned (and what a surprise to find I'd buried a lead slug under there), its door was cut open, filled with coal and repainted. I suppose I expended about ten minutes on this. It's now permanently attached to Elmer Lane.
Obviously needs more rust and fading, but that might look unprototypical...
