LHR Coach No. 2
The first completed piece of rolling stock on the Lost Hollow Railway is a Twin Mountains Model Works plantation coach. It is a very well-thought out kit; nice work on the laser cutting. Colour scheme:
- siding: Polly-S coach green
- trim: Polly-S SCL covered hopper beige
- wood: Floquil maple stain
- metal: Blacken-It
It definitely requires a “rooster” to hook it up to “Konrad”. A “rooster” was logging slang for a a piece of metal (3′ to 6′) used instead of a link in a link and pin coupler system. Here’s a picture of No. 2 behind Konrad.
