Pictures like this make me either want to ride a train or model one. Very nice!
Great stuff again this weekend guys. Thanks to all.
Here is one from the BRVRR:
NYC E8 #4089 approaches the station in Berea for passenger pick-up.
Keep the photos and ideas coming guys. This is always the best thread of the week.

Bob,
That has to be one of the best trestle bridges I have ever seen. The water fall looks very real. What a great scene that is. I had to look twice because I have a scratch built trestle very much like yours, of course not quit as good. Is that a kit or did you scratch build it? . Great job. I will post a pic of my bridge when I get it transported to my PC. Hopefully next WPF
This is something from my old layout.
I love that freight shed, and the locomotive cab detail on Wolfgang's layout. Beautiful work, and well-photographed. The DPW finally got around to paving the road in front of Zorba's Diner.
The diner is a City Classics kit. I scratch-built the interior.

Great photos, everyone!
Michael (Motley) ... Thanks for the comments. The color on my Union Station was made in two steps. First, I sprayed it with Rust-Oleum Khaki color camouflage flat paint. Second, I brush of alcohol and india ink. (A good substitute is watered down black acrylic paint). ..... The E5 locomotive is a brass model. The A-unit has had its entire chassis replaced with an upgraded Hobbytown chassis.

Great scene, beautiful pictures.
What really caught my eye was the light. It looks to my eye to be close to natural. The water is excellently done and on the 2nd picture the light and shadow is great. The foreground is bright like a sunny day and the bridge casts a solid shadow but it's not straight overhead. I'd love to see more.
Many great photos of great modeling this week!
I scratched a freight shed for my N(ormal)-scale layout:
Nice pics everyone!

Garry, I like your Union Station as well, it looks really nice. I like the brick and the color of the buildng is perfect!
Also, I really like the subtle weathering on your Burlington Zephyr locomotive. I want to do that on some of mine, but still too scared to try it. LOL

VERY NICE start so far!
Great start, you guys. Excellent photos and scenes.
GP7's take the siding at Stoney Creek. DJ.
Scarpia ... I like that photo.
Jim ... Nice scene with bridge and depot with or without backdrop.
Simon .. Nice coal mine
Michael ... I like your SP passenger train, and I have been admiring your Inion Station in its Colorado setting.
Tom .. The B&O boxcar is very nice. Thanks for starting WPF.
Here are photos from my Union Station. I am continuing work on this scene.
Scarpia, you got me! I had to look twice and then a third time!

It's Friday...The Tigers eliminate the Yankees...And it's time for WPF. Life is good!
I finally received my '37 set of Fox Valley Models B&O M-53 Wagontops in the mail yesterday:
They're not as nicely detailed as a Proto 2000 box car but they're still very good. They come with Kadee #5s and flat-back metal wheelsets. (I swapped the #5s out for #58s.) The doors are fixed and do not slide. That would have been a nice feature. My only regret is that FVM didn't offer these in kits.
Still...they will make for a nice, unique model for my rolling stock roster.
