Nicely done. Nice addition, too.

Hello everyone. Congratulations for all the neat layout photos.
Below is my "Prairie Zephyr" stopping in Blackhawk.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
Some new shots for the weekend...Been busy cleaning the train room. Putting items in bins and labeling the bins...No fun...Been emailing Ed who has the super N scale site http://www.conrail1285.com/ and trading scenery tips. Here's a shot of the tall palms that I made. I got the idea from THE NEW SCENERY TIPS AND TECHNIQUES book Chapter 16 MODELING PALM TREES AND ORANGE GROVES.
Highway 99 through Fresno over the SP tracks. I have to blend the sky into the tree line this week. Tree line to large for N scale.
Old workhorse here, SLSW Alco RS-1 resting on the Herndon siding:
Another rustic bucket of bolts, GN 50' boxcar on the Herndon siding:
A couple of pictures for WPF. First, I stopped by Walthers last Saturday on my way to the Packers/Bears game in Green Bay. The Walthers visit turned out bettwe than the game . Here's a picture of the place. Not too many people there because it was just a few minutes before closing. They close at 1:00 CST on Saturday.
On the layout front I finsihed the container crane.
I am debating on additional detailing like some type of track/road for the crane wheels etc.

If you're into paper structures and even preprinted sheets for scratch-building, these are REALLY nice !!! ....

I've always wondered about their paper building supplies. It's cool to see how nice they can turn out.
They have a full line of printable textures for scratchbuilding, too. Awesome!

If only the BN would have survived. I would love seeing those things rumble through town.

Some fantastic shots so far!
How about a HO scale BN SD80MAC this week instead of the usual suspects, my SOU locos.

Once I painted this model, i kept it for a couple weeks. Not a good idea. I got attached to it, and had to sell it faster than expected. If BN would have survived they probably would have been painted in the executive scheme.
From our club's HO layout, this is a reproduction of one of the two paper mills we have in town.
The modeler that made it, is working at the mill and he had acces to the plans along with a $400.00 donation from his employer to built it.

Enter worked for me, Thanks much by the way.

All very good pics, and no flaming.
Simon, I like the new look with the new lense, it wouldn't work on my layout though. If I were to take closeups like you have done and post them here, well.............Let the flame wars start! The last pic of the front of the loco would be great for the rivet counters.
Not much to post this week, been working on my scratch-built barn with slow progress, maybe next weekend. Mike

I don't know if the forum being in maintinance mode is the reason (coincidence....hmmmmmmm), but I'm with you on that one!
Jeff, that paper cut out looks like it is going to turn out well. Some really nice images this week. How pleasant it is that no-one has ruined WPF this week!
I got a new lens for my camera last week, a 70-300 zoom with a Macro feature from Tamron. I got it mainly for better shots of kids sporting events, but have been playing with the macro feature in the layout room. Here are some of the results.
Seeing the models up this close really shows any errors in their construction and painting. Every spec of dust is visible. Depth of field is hard to manage. These were both 30 second shots with the aperture cranked as far as the camera/lens would let me. It does I think give and interesting perspective not seen with a regular lens.
This is how close in you can get!
