Yes, it's early. SO?!?[:D][:D] I finally finished the handrails on my SD40T-2M. It still needs some white on the handrails but the hard part is done.

Here's my contribution:


I photoshopped the headlight, everything else is on film.

Doesn't look like the SPF is catching on real well on this forum.[:0]

Anyway my work this week was pretty mundane (but it HAD to be done sometime).[:p]

I added some covers for the accesses on the fascia. They are held in place by Velcro:


Then I made a "shelf" for my accessory power supplies:


I also cleaned up some of the wiring after these shots.

You guys who are doing REAL modeling are doing some real nice stuff.

If you have SPF next sunday I will post some pics form the train watching I am going to do this week.

Looks Good Jeremy.

You are an inspiration to us all. I enjoy seeing your curiously unique and original models. I like the fact that you are willing to make bold statements and pu***he outerlimits of the hobby. Its the creative modelbuilding spirit like you have shown you have that I am trying to promote. I applaud your efforts. (Now if I can get left alone around the hosue for a couple days I might be able to add to SPF next week)

Here are a couple shots of my trusty LL GP20 (N-scale). The paint is still fresh - at least until I build up my nerve to weather it... [:D]

Dougal... where's that NS picture from? And what does NS stand for? I was up in Hershey park on Saturday and was thinking that I saw an NS train (hard to tell when you're doing 70 on a roller coaster).

NS is Norfolk Southern, the amalgam of Norfolk & Western and Southern RWY. They are the major Class 1 in the South.

The shots are from western New Jersey

BTW NS and CSX assimilated Conrail in 1999.

Here are a few of mine

At the head of a PPLX unit train:


Two helpers heading east or something:


The NS loco in the middle of the picture was brand new. I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the ones I'd seen when I was living in Erie up until last month. The other train didn't let me get a picture of it closer, but we did get a good picture of it with a zoom lens on a film camera and have to wait for it to be developed:


One of a multitude of shiny new K Line containers that I'm using to justify why I never weathered my K Line containers:


A very hurried picture of an old SP container (and a future project for my lone SP container):

Nice shots! My guess is those shots were taken on the Pittsburgh Line, right?

I took all those at Horseshoe Curve. I think its a pretty good place to do all the railfanning I need to do. For my freelance railroad, I can go from my memory (as well as plenty of pictures in case I forget) as far as scenery and industries go. But the types of rolling stock, I don't seem much in the way of things that aren't hoppers and scrap gondolas here.
