I was thinking of including a O scale "Jesus Saves" rock on my layout on the side of Stoney Creek Road, as mentioned in the "Tweetsie Country" book when it occurred to me that I've never seen (or even

Oh my gosh, thanks for posting this! I especially loved the school bus, as I've been trying to determine what a Carter County school bus would have looked like (though I don't think anyone makes such

The Queen City Trailways Bus bound for Charlotte too. How cool is that? David

I love this stuff! With the speculation on when the movie(s) were shot I thought it deserved some additonal sleuthing. I guess we don't know if these movies were all shot at the same time, but it does

This was probably filmed in the very early 40s. If you notice the white wooden church, I think this is the one that sat nest to our house. When that church burned it cared some of our picket fence

Yeah, that’s a great find. The bus is coming over the bridge toward the Depot, so yes probably from Johnson City after a stop in Elizabethton. But there may have been another route coming thru

I'm behind my time on replying. What a wonderful window in time! Even if there is little on the railroad and no train, we all know what the train looks like, but we haven't seen this much of Hampton.

So very nice to see Hampton as I remembered it growing up. Things changed dramatically after the 4 lane was completed. I wish I knew who more of these people were. I only recognized three of them.

Did you notice the older guy at the depot is the same at the hardware next door? Was he associated with both or just wanted to get filmed twice?

You're right...not enough RR stuff...but is there ever enough? :) Thanks for sharing Rae. Wonder if anyone saw any of their relatives in there? Even the youngest ones at school would probably be in

Thanks for sharing. That was great.

Ha! I don’t know why anybody would want to mix up that nasty paint stuff!! Ken

Ken, you are a wealth of information. Mostly useful😁

The lampblack was added to the linseed oil at 53 percent black and 46 percent oil with one percent Japan Drier. That makes what is called “semi-paste”. To paint with it it was mixed two parts

Thank you Ken. This is very precise. I love all the materials from a bygone era that were used to make “the recipe.” Doc Tom

Tom: looks great and very good level of detail. I did my Sn3 hoppers in a very dark grey (NYC Dark Grey with some black added as I remember). My view being that black is too dark under artificial

Lampblack, linseed oil, and japan drier was the railroad recipe.
