Sunday Photo Fun

[AggroJones]

To distance myself from all the BS, I'll kick start our tradition.

Here's a before shot of the big "A". Glossy, dark. Just wait a few weeks.... [:-,]


Here's a crappy, low shot of the heavy mountain.


This weekend I did finish painting my backdrop. But I got no photos of it yet. Thats for next week. [:)]

I've wanted to show in here but never got a "roundtuit". So here is my latest project

This is a Custom Model Railroad turntable before painting. It took about a week and two Saturdays to get it built as I only did what I was in the mood to do.


This is the pit with al of the over grown grass and weeds


This is the bridge and pit. Notice that the guy that painted the handrail only painted the inside as that was all that the employees would see.

Cool photos, everyone. Teffy, is that a KCS E on the turntable? Both turntable and loco are really mouth-watering!
Aggro: Now THAT looks like an SP Mountain!! Great weathering, as usual.

I did some posting to my website on my latest project--a big viaduct--but I can't seem to upload onto this forum from my website--let's just politely say that I'm 'Computer-Challenged'. Anyway, if you guys want to vist the website, the latest project is the first ten or so photos--the new extension and the viaduct. (Aggro: I even put one of my Yellowstones on the viaduct for you) I've even incorporated some of Aggro's furnace-filter trees, but I turned them into high-country Fir instead of pine.

Thanks.

pavariangoo : No ballast yet. Nor fine detailing. Pretty much basic scenery in those area at this point. But I'm getting there....

Tom: does your website allow direct photo linking? If so, you can right click each photo and check the "properties". Copy and paste the adress on this forum and put
[*img*] and [*/img*] on the front and rear, minus the askertisk. Then the picture should show up here.

[AggroJones]

Tom....like this.

The way I look at it is,Who realy cares just how crappy of how the Photo looks,as long as there is a Train in it. BNSFrailfan.

Here's My fav of the Hogwart's Express. Hopefully I'll get some more done tonight.



I've been thinking about weatherin engines lately, but you know, Hogwart's Trains just don't get dirty. They are always glossy and shiny. I've got to get a Geep and dirty the sucker.

Jay: OOOOOPPPPPPPPSSSSSSS!!!!!! But I sure like all that SPACE! Every time I find some space, I fill it with mountains or bridges. I hear there's a 12-step program for my problem, but-----

Nice photos folks, unfortunatly I didn't get anything done this weekend, family time all weekend.

Arggo- Are there certain steps you take to weathering a Steam loco? I'm getting a 2-6-6-2 this week and I'm gonna take the plunge and weather it and my 2 other steam locos. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[SpaceMouse]

I finished the engine house, although the inside walls look too uncluttered and clean. I have a few things I can add as details, I could use more.

[Anonymous]

Well, I now have 3/4's of the backdrops base color done.

By the way don't get a shopvac near those WS inclines. Don't ask how I know that.

and found a new addiction. Railfanning

couple of GP38-2's getting ready to do some switching in Salem


one of many SP boxes still hanging around.

would of had some action shots, but it's a little more difficult by myself. If only it
wasn't raining that day. [:(] Oh well there's always next weeked.

I'm planning to post a thing on that topic. Just give me few days to finish my current steam project.

Teffy,

What material is that CMR turntable made of? It looks like either clear styrene or plexiglas. How is the action on it? Is it motorized on manual? What does a puppy like that run? What made you choose that model? Thanks!

Tom

P.S. I just checked the web site (http://www.cmrtrain.com/turntable.html) for the info - it's acrylic (or plexiglas). Not too bad of a price for the kit but it looks like that doesn't include the motor. (Ouch! The indexing motor from NYRS is $369! I think the $88 manual one from Berkshire Junction is definitely more in my line of thinking and pocketbook.) I like laser cut kits. It seems like a very nice turnable.

[dano99a]

Thanks, I'll be looking for it
