As dawn breaks, the Milwaukee Road train crew will begin its rest period and their two locomotives will be serviced at Nahant Yard near Davenport, Iowa. Mean­ while, at the nearby Pillsbury Co. grain elevator, the grain hopper cars are unloaded into two barges moored at the river's edge. It takes only about 15 minutes to un­ load each of the new 100-ton capacity cars. Once loaded, the barges will be taken down the Mississippi to ocean ports near the GUlf of Mexico. There the grain will be transferred to ships for exporting. The grain is brought from country grain elevators near Perry, Iowa. These elevators must take at least five cars and load them on the same day. Grain elevator opera­ tors are enthused with the new service, and some claim it has enabled them to pay farmers eight to nine cents more for a bushel of grain. Monthly grain shipments from some of these small elevators doubled when these Mini-Unit-Trains started in April. When the 20 cars have been gathered from the coun­ try elevators, the loaded train starts on its way eastward to Samoa, Iowa, and then southward to Davenport.

It hardly seems possible that Christmas is just around the corner and yet we are still in the grip of the Covid 19 pandemic and indeed, here in England, we are midway through a proposed/supposed one month second lockdown. Fortunately, this is another bumper edition so at least you can while away a nice coffee break with something to read! I must just mention that this is not a bumper edition due to my travels, as I haven’t been anywhere! No, once again I have you, the readership, to thank for your wonderful contributions which allow me to bring you a varied, and hopefully interesting, view of what everyone is up to during this strange year on planet earth. Please, please keep the photos, snippets of information and articles coming as I think we are going to be largely stuck at home for some time to come. Thanks to David Knighton for this month’s header photo – there’s more from him below. So, this month ‘Customer Corner’ is very definitely worth a visit with layout photos from several readers, Part 2 of Roger Kimber’s Collection, featuring his British outline models and a superb feature on DIY Cattle/Livestock Wagons from Andrew Spooner. If he could ‘kit’ his design I think it would be very popular, so do take a look! ‘What’s New’ features a superb new Well Wagon, which is our first 2021 new product announcement, plus I have included my ‘Christmas Crackers’, a range of goodies I have arriving imminently and/or already in stock and available to tempt you as Christmas presents or treats!
