Finished ballasting the tracks to my passenger terminus
And for those wondering about the huge plant in the background, it is to hide my layout from my wife!

Driline Margaritaman This is a picture of my "trainhouse" but I also get to show you my gardening efforts that are starting to pay off. So while I wait for something to dry or set on the layout, I go work on the plants. The trainhouse was my daughter's playhouse that I built six years ago, but since reclaimed due to her outgrowing it. Is that a jacuzzi in the center or a humoungus firepit? That train house would never fly in Iowa. -20 degree's and 2' of snow. That would be one cold trip. So how large is the train house?

Jacuzzi that never gets used, needs a refurb, and will in fact become a firepit this summer. Trainhouse is 7' x 11' outside, 6' x 9' inside. -20? No thanks. There is a reason I live out here and put up with L.A. city life.

That is very creative modeling. Hats off.
I could use a couple.

Here's what I accomplished today, I painted a Musket Miniatures Train Engineer. After making a couple of modifications, I had to chop off part of his legs, And bend him into a sitting position. Then I discarded the P2K original engineer and placed the new guy in the seat. Now My Engineer has one arm on the window sill and is reaching for the control panel with the other...
And here is a Shot of Great Western #121 pulling a short MolasasTank Car train to the Sugar Plant..Still fresh out of the paint shop and awaiting Marking letters...
I did help the kids plant a few flowers in the backyard and sprayed a little liquid Miracle Grow on the bushes ... but it looks nothing like your backyard ... your backyard looks perfect for sipping a few Margaritas ...

Need a way to honor your Mother AND the Mother of your children on Mother's Day? Take them both (and the children too) on a special Mother's Day double-header excursion on the Oakhurst Railroad.
Or maybe I should stop taking pictures of my model railroad and call my Mom!

Lee, I hope you dont mind, but Id love to "steal" this idea from you. I have so many unused rapido trucks and id love to make one of these. You did a great job on it! 5*'s!
wm3798 Bingo! You are correct, Sir! Stay on the line so we can tell you what you've won!Here's the prototype:Over on the Railwire, we had a little modeling challenge with this being the subject. We saw one built in Z scale, a couple in HO, and a couple more in N Scale. The challenge was to see if we could build this simple model by simply using stuff we had laying around the workbench. Mine took two nights to complete. Here's another look at it:For the tread plate, I went to a manufacturer's website and sampled one of the pattern images, then made a black ink decal on clear film. I did the coloration and weathering on the styrene plates, then finished it with the decal overlay.It was really a fun little project. I had no use for it on the layout (no parallel warehouse tracks!) so I put it on eBay, and managed to get $20 for it!BTW, my model was, of course, in N scale.Lee

Great work. I've never seen one of those until this thread but the recreation is well done. Thanks for sharing.
Margaritaman, darn that looks real.I am guessing HO scale?
Dragenrider, good look trestle and like your back drop as well.
Sawyer, that side is starting to shape up nicely. When you get the buildings the shape you want them are you going to kit bash them? Reason I asked is on one of my postings G Plain sent a link for DPM modular wall system. You can print out to scale to see what would work for a building you are wanting to build.
Hope to see a lot more pictures today.

It must be lunch time, right? I see the one guy sitting around the corner but he must not care about the melting blocks right now. Some of them will still be there when he is done with his PB&J

Building a protolanced industrial park layout
The management of the Cedar Branch & Western RR picked up a used trestle cheap at a recent train show. With some replacement parts and rails, a new trestle was born. The finishing touches of the installation are completed by the CB&W's MOW crew in the pictures below:
The Cedar Branch & Western--The Hillbilly Line!
I think it's for moving grossly overweight engineers around
Finally finished the burned-out-barn built from Horst Meier's article in Model Railroader.
Yes, that signal behind it is missing the target, I have to get an LED for it before I can finish assembly. It will protect the reversing segment and lift bridge.
I also started building my paper mill and have started construction of the Mascoma River Valley scene on the layout, but I'll wait to post photos until those are done.
This is the Farm scene I had started on and is getting closer to completion.
