Good afternoon all.
Some really great stuff happening in here!
Kevin - Thanks for starting the thread for the weekend, and nice job on the tank car!
Ed - I like the upgraded (and used!) catwalk platform. Nice cars you added as well. (That coil shield car detail does look amazing.)
Rick J - Nice job on the freight cars. Neat job on the loco's too.
NorthBrit - I like the backyard scene.
Garry - Nice RPO.
Ringo - River scene is looking good!
Mike - Nice shorty narrow gauge caboose.
Jimmy - Looks very nice, excellent decal job.
Peter - Looking very well used, nice job!
Henry - Nice carpentry shot. People seem to forget (or so it seems) that a great layout needs a solidly built (and level!) support system. Looks well done to me.
Tankertoad - Nicely done.
Philo - Nice progress on the scratchbuild.
My weekend projects -
I have two projects with photo's - One trailer load for a intermodal, and a Walther's SD70Ace detail project.
First - the Trailer load - A A-line 28' "Pup" trailer in ABF - Simple coat of primer and decals. Here is the current decal state -

Once that one dries, I need to do the rear door, and the small reflector stripes.
Next - The SD70Ace - A Walther's Mainline model that I have added the grab irons, and a shot of the test-fitting of a 3D printed PTC Array.
Before -

Progress -

I still need to properly space the grabs and paint them, and the PTC array needs leveled before being painted and glued into place, but it fits!
Great job by all, keep the projects coming!

3: Any objections, consult above rules.
Finally finished the Deck Truss bridge for my G Scale trestle. All I need to do now is attach it to the trestle deck which has the horizontal stringers and rail ties. That is part of the greater bridge. Last thing to do is construct 4 more bents to support this bridge and then the concrete piers that the trestle bents will sit on. I got some aluminum rail and a rail bender as a early Christmas present so hopefully I can get some tracks laid on the bridge.

Philo: That looks like a neat project, but some description would sure help!
Ricky: That locomotive is looking good. Nice conversion work. I have always liked pup trailers, but they were not around in 1954.
Renegade: Again, your bridge project is amazing. Thank you for sharing this build with us.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this fun thread this weekend Thanks for all the positive comments, too!
Next weekend (an extended Holiday version?) I'll show how I "salvaged" some Trix HO box cars:

Happy Modeling! Ed
Ooooh... a preview!
I love the Trix HO boxcars, but I have never found one undecorated.
See you all next week, and thank you to everyone that shared this week!
