Dave, thanks for sharing the pics of your friend's modeling. Excellent work! When I looked at the first picture, I thought it was HO.

Marvelous photo's everyone, I love those video's!!

[FJ and G]

Yes, Doug, 3-rail. Atlas track. He's a former N scale guy so you can just imagine the amount of fine detailing he's used to doing. And at Sea Power Magazine, he was extremely well detailed in the articles he wrote (writes for USCG now).

I find that a person who is THAT detailed in model RRing often is equally detailed in other things in life (borderline obsessive-compulsive????)

Here’s photos I took of his layout that I previously posted. He’s not yet done detailing, ground cover, ballast etc; IOW, it’s just halfway there!

[cnw1995]

Wow, David. Is this O scale?

[FJ and G]

He just emailed me another. This is a 15 second exposure. Told him I'd share it with friends. He's retired Navy Capt. Gordon Peterson. I worked with him at Sea Power Magazine in a previous job. He's quite the model railroader!

My toy train buddy, who lives in Springfield, VA, went to the Greenberg show last weekend. Said 80% of the show was HO and N! What gives??????

Anyways, he picked up a flat car for $15. Actually several. He loaded it with logs and shipped it off to his wharf, which I thought you might like to see. He's got a Canon Rebel and took a 12 second elapsed time photo. I told him to do a story for CTT!

guilfordrr,

Looks like you have a lot of tunnels on the layout. Good video. Do you use a battery for your in train camera? I have one that I want to rig up to look through the windshield of a FA A unit, but I want to build a DC power supply that will take it's feed off the TMCC track power to eliminate the battery. Still in the planning stages but on the list. Meanwhile it is on a flat car with battery.

I did what you're doing- I temporarilly secured my camera to an LTI "Farm Equipment" flatcar. Yes, I do have one long tunnel, as well as a cut though a small hill, as you can see in this old in-progress shot:



wrmcclellan, sorry to hear about the club layout. Looks really nice from that video. [V]

Once again, great photos everyone!

[wrmcclellan]

Thanks Laz! Glad it finally worked!

Jim - that is our local club layout. I posted quite a few photos last year. I will have to look into reloading them on my server. Had to remove a lot of stuff due to posting the video. Unfortunately the club has lost it's space and the layout will be coming down in the next few weeks.

Regards,
Roy

Nice Pictures & Layouts everyone! Laz- That is a very detailed coal breaker you built. Now all you need is a simulated underground mine fire with smoke to make it complete?[;)][:)] Take Care.

[cnw1995]

The link works, Roy. Looks v. impressive.

[FJ and G]

Nice photos everyone!

Well, I haven’t yet built my snowplow so the trains were marooned, as icicles formed on the trainshed/warehouse. So went inside and nearly completed my new 50-pound industry. But ran out of corrugation material. Just 12 cokes more to drink!

[Jumijo]

Roy, Laz, I'd really like to see (many) more photos of your layouts. They both look great! How about it guys? A photo guided tour, please!
