Some Plasticville structures I acquired recently.
Kind of a shame how the WPF threads seem to have taken a back seat to the Show Me thread. At any rate, here's what I've been working on lately:
A local rumbles across across the bridge past the station at Ambry.

Bob,
Beautiful work!
Have you had a chance to do a "how to" on the waterfall? If so, how do I get there?
Thank you,
Richard
Some nice work this weekend! Thanks to everyone who has contributed, a 'forward' thanks to those who are thinking about it, Go Ahead! Put it out there!
I was looking at my pix & found a few of my units missing, so I was in a conundrum.! Well, I found out that didn't shoot them, cuz they were not 100% finished. Although, I had been using them in & for different things.. So, I thought that I had better STOP & take a couple pix, before I totally mutilated them... Sorry for the missing horns & antenna (who knows what else) from handling...
Atlas GP40-2, as DM&E 4008 (ficticious number) but stylistically correct..
Thanks for the lookover!
Thanks ever so much, Michael. I am going through a dry spell over the summer, and have allowed other interests to monopolize my free time.

It is a very nice scene, Lee.
I haven't submitted a new image in weeks, so here is a busy afternoon at Seneca.
I just never get tired of this scene...
A few shots from the inaugural train that ran on the layout last week-end, with a temporary trainset power pack. Everything has been updraged to DCC this very Tuesday... It's great to run 3-engine consist! ;-)
The train leaves Lairet and passes over Canardière Road. Most buildings are now "completed" for this urban section of the layout.
The trains enter the tunnel (furnace room) and passes by the rebuilt turntable. The golden spike is located in front of me, near the turntable turnout.
Inaugural train passes the coal train. We are actually working on a working signal system commanded by a micro computer.
Entering the harbour.
Terminus: Bunge grain elevators (made out of vacuum plastic tubes). Picture only shows about 50% of this huge structure. The prototype would take about 18' long, this one is about 8' long.

Sure is nice to have Bob back isn't it! And, that takes nothing away from the work being done by so many others around here.
I have been doing a bit more on the Engine House. Added some soot to the doors among other things.
Also did a bit of a photo shoot on my Walthers Roundhouse. (Getting documentation for buyildings I have assembled and detailed or scratch built for the Structures AP Certificate. I have a long, long, way to go....)

ARTHILL Beautiful Bob. I remember your first post. You asked what we thought and we suggested you could add some smoke stains on your tunnel portals, not having any idea who we where dealing with. You turned out to be one of the masters. You then saved that layout for a NMRA open house, a project dear oi me as I organize those for our division, and then tore it down. I wondered what we would get. It is masterful. Thanks again for sharing. I could have sent this to you personally, but I wanted others to know how we felt.

Thanks for the kind words....
Have Fun.... Bob.
Good morning folks, here are a couple of progress shots from my layout.
The grain elevator, the most important industry on the layout, just needs weathering and decals to be finished.
This will be a fruit packing warehouse, It has been weathered but I took this photo before I weathered it.
and an overall shot of the layout. Just waiting on a shipment of trees to populate the hills and then to get a few more kits to populate the town.
Have a good weekend.

Modelling AT&SF in the 90s
Nice work everyone! Here are a few pics from my layout.
Once had a friend who wanted a Corvette. Instead of buying one, he tried to convert his AMC Gremlin into one. At the end of the project, he had invested a lot of time and money in the conversion. Now his car was an even uglier Gremlin.
To my point, these are 20+ year old Athearn BBs I upgraded with Plano etched walkways, Accurail continuous hatch assemblies, DA thin profile end ladder assemblies, roping brackets, and DA gravity outlets (never mind the car is still a 4 compartment HC5250 that was used in plastic resin service and not grain).
While looking a little neat-er in the middle of a 20 car train, I'll just buy more Atlas or Exact Rail, thank you.
May I have your attention, please. After eight months away in the Portland Oregon Shops, the SP&S interchange brought a sight for sore eyes! Ladies and Gentlemen, THE SHAY IS BACK!
Bye!

Here's train No 53 from Fiddletown to Wolf Creek. This train did some switching in Salina. There was an empty gondola at the coal dealer to pick up and a box car with Gen. Merch. to be set out at the team track.
