The Cedar Branch & Western--The Hillbilly Line!
Today I enjoyed a pleasant visit from Rev. Dr. Major Dave Vollmer as he took a little side track to the Land of Pleasant Living before dashing off to BWI for the flying cattle car back to Florida.
The visit included some switching as BT-1 headed west through Cumberland, then a grand tour of the layout by Dave's notorious Brass K-4...
Here she is steaming up on the ready track at Ridgeley next to WM 204, my K-2 Pacific.
...and taking a spin on the turntable
then out on the line. The photographers at Casselman Crossing were struggling to balance themselves on the rocks in the fast moving stream...
The footing was better out on the high iron, but the K4s was picking up speed as she headed downgrade toward Connellsville.
Later, the K4s was deployed on an OCS train out on the Thomas Sub, and shot here at Hinshaw.
It was a great visit, and I enjoyed having Dave go out of his way to see the layout.

Wow it's been a long time! The major things I've done:
I've managed to build three more car kits, this time not of logging disconnects, but old blue boxes and other assorted makers. The middle one will soon be lettered for the BWTC.
Here's my weekly swamp update:
The white rectangles are temporary dams to hold the Envirotex in the higher inlets behind them. The brown lump on the left is the beginning of the beaver dam.
I've started adding plants to the swamp basin. I used one of those "pot topper" things for the bright green grass up front, and some field grass further back. The cattails behind them and the one stinging nettle on the right are Walthers Botanicals.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
jwar41,
Very, very nice modeling. And only 80% complete? Look forward to seeing it when you think you have reached 100%.

Johnney Reb,... Allentrains..., TA462... Thank you for the nice compliments. This pic is from the other end (may have posted on this forum?), is all scrachbuilt. The 10 wheeler is my wifes and she likes old steam. I know some here would have coronarys mixing eras, But I would rather have her beside me in the hobby to enjoy it in the fullest way possable. But now she wants her own garage LOL for her steamer. So I guess I will build a shop and sell tickets LOL... again thanks for the complements, Take Care...John

They're called NMRA or "horn-hook" couplers. RP-25 is also a n NMRA recommendation, but refers to wheel conture not couplers.

Did a little locomotive work this Saturday. Finished transferring an older P2k shell to the newer DCC/Sound P2k Geep chassis for my club loco. Just had to trim a little plastic, especially the clear "light bar" that draws light to the headlight & number boards.
Also tried my hand at weathering my first diesel. It is just an old junk "dummy" that I had laying around, so pay no attention to the fat handrails and old (RP25?) couplers.

sorry about the double post of th pictures figured out what I was doing wrong to post them though.
Still a long way to go on my layout. I love the close up shots of the steam engine wheels. I have to say there is some truley inspering work done by everybody on here.

I like the sepia tone effect in your movie, also very interesting how your camera changes focus depending in where the action is in the shot. The night scene was good, but you need some passengers in the lighted cars - I know '53 was nearing the end of passenger service, but there should be at least a couple of people and maybe a conductor visible.

Nice pictures so far folks. I finished planting the soy beans this morning so I thought I would post a picture or two. This time I actually have a train in the picture too!
An overview shot.
This is kind of funny. Everything is blurry accept the train. It should be the other way around I guess. I suppose if I took more than twenty seconds to take a picture I may produce better results!
I like Selector's theme. This is my seldom seen cab-forward that spends most, if not all, of its life at Bob Grech's. Fits on his layout perfectly. Bob, if you're reading, get out the camera. We need more cab-forward pics please.

Ah.... The weekend, and with it the best thread of the week! Nice start guys! Some fine work being shown as usual.
I have been working on several projects over the past couple of weeks. First off I have made some new Signs for the toggle switches along the front fascia board on the layout. These stand out better, are easier to read, and by using a spray adhesive on the back of the gloss photo paper I used, they stay stuck in place better than the labels I used before. As you can see I am not quite finished with the project yet.
More detail has been added to the Engine House.
And I finally, after using many of those words Mom told never to use, a lot of fiddling with bad spots on the track, relaying a couple of sections in tunnels, replacing the wheelsets, and finally putting a bit bigger and more powerful loco on the consist the Lake Shores Limited is running beautifully with no derailments and has 2 fast freight milk cars with it as well (carrying fresh milk to all the people in the big city).

There is some jaw-dropping modelling on the thread this week. Wolfgang, I especially like your low trestle.
Here's my contribution - the A.N. Bradford Mine No. 1. It hasn't been fixed in place yet - I've only just finished the structure and need to finish the ground/backdrop around it:
