More Lumber Loads & Another RS18

After countless hours making individual bundles, three lumber loads are complete. A fourth one, made as partial load have been done with excess material. It will be used to represent half-loaded cars, adding interest during operation.

Meanwhile, I also decided to complete my seventh and last RS18 as a RS18u. This locomotive is a Frankenstein made of Atlas RS11 and RS32 parts, an old Kato drive and a heavily Life-Like RS11 shell. I'm trying to reproduce ex-NBEC 1816 RS18s which pull trains over Murray Bay Subdivision circa 2006. Jérôme always wanted me to make a RS18u and I thought it was a good thing to do one relevant with our layout theme.
