I have several Berwind hopper cars on my layout as they had operations in the newriver valley of the C&O

Mr B,
Excellent tribute to a well known, well liked model railroader who has left us way too soon.

In memory of our friend Wolfgang Dudler, I painted this Bachmann 0-6-0T tank engine for the Westport Terminal, after Wolfgang's HO scale railroad.

mlehman Terry, That's a funky sound. I love it! Which sound decoder did you use? I've got an RDC and a Sperry detector car that I eventually want to put sound in, so have been considering my options.
Terry,
That's a funky sound. I love it! Which sound decoder did you use? I've got an RDC and a Sperry detector car that I eventually want to put sound in, so have been considering my options.
After doing some research i found out the US Postal Service required the C&O to convert it's Doodle bugs to deisel because of the fire hazzard of the gas engines
so i used an RDC sound file loaded into an N Scale decoder
I used the N scale decoder because of its small size and no cutting was required for the install
you can read about it here>http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/744/t/208628.aspx<
Finished my Doodlebug DCC Sound conversion
Here's a short video

Lots of nice work, everybody.
My SMD LEDs arrived and I finished the bulk of the work on the Tsunami install.
The 476 is the loco that started me in narrowgauge, some years after I first saw her spotted at the end of track on Blair St. in Silverton. In testing the 476 and her sister, 480, I found where I somehow introduced a kink in the approach track to the bridge. The first pic shows the kink. This image shows how much I needed to snip off the ends of the rails to relieve the kink. The final image shows the track template I use to check curvature with the rail now that it's been reset to an even curve, without the gapping at both ends that showed in the first photo of the kink.

I got the crazy idea to try and simulate a rain storm on the layout today. Here's the results:
I shot this at f/36 and used the flash and a 1/2 second exposure to give me the gloomy overcast look. I sprayed water in front of the camera during the exposure to simulate the rain drops. The flash also illuminated the water droplets. I think the effect worked well. The trains are N Scale and the locomotive is a Bachmann Spectrum 4-6-0
Here's a story to go with the photo:
Uh oh, it seems a freak thunder storm has hit upstate South Carolina. Hampton & Branchville #44, is seen paused at the Pinnacle Falls Trail flag stop, no doubt to pick up some hikers who got caught in the rain. Number 44 is currently on loan to the Cherokee Foothills Railroad from the South Carolina Railroad museum for use on the Blue Ridge Scenic Train. She's here until CFRR's 4-4-0 #3783 completes her 1472-day FRA boiler inspection.

This is a Rivarossi 10-6 sleeper I metalized into the SCL scheme a while back. I hope to have some photos of my latest projects soon

Jumping into Model Railroad Season with some recently finished Freight Cars.Since I was painting a boxcar with Floquil Dark Green paint, I assembled this Atlas kit quickly and painted it also, lettered with Herald King Decals, an Ex-M&StL PS 2003 CF Covered Hopper, lettered in the current C&NW scheme while keeping its old car number.A Details West FGE RBL Boxcar Kit, painted with Scalecoat II Aluminum (Roof), CNW Yellow (Sides) and Black (Ends). Lettered with Herald King Decals. The CNW rostered a large number of these FGE RBL's.Even though ExactRail made a RTR version of this car, I already had the Microscale Decal for this car so I got an undecorated kit. Car in Painted in White, Black Underframe and a Galvanized Roof. Used Scalecoat II paint.Thanks for looking!

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

Setting up & Staging a Video Camera test going down "Loco Alley!!!"
After a whole lot more work than I thought I still had left (found several areas in the yard I had not put in power feeds to or wired the frog yet) tonight, I finally backed the Lakeshores Limited into her berth in the Upper Staging on the SLOW. Only difficulty was one of the 3 axle trucks on the Baggage car wants to derail at the Walthers curved turnout. The inside route is a bit tighter than I figured it would consistently want to stay railed and as her track will be the one by the wall, it should have not had a problem.. I think the 3 coaches have trucks that are not as free wheeling as they should so with a bit of tweaking the problem should be resolved. Only has the problem backing up, but she will have to be backed into staging after every operating session.

We'll get there sooner or later!
well Jeff how long before you are able to get these engines out of this ugly yellow and grey with red scheme and into your first rate black and white power? Can't wait to see them.
Great cat.
Here is my WIP, a Branchline kit. Still needs lots of work.
I'm trying to model 1956, not live in it.
Is the cat HO or N-scale? Kit or RTR?
Great pics, Corey. That cat looks like he's got the spirit.
Nice pictures everyone. I haven't been modeling or even really reading the forums lately. Since I have nothing new to offer I figured I would post some older shots.
I haven't been modeling because work has taken everything out of me. When I get home I just want to do this!

Great work everyone.This is a old shot of a K4s making up a coal drag at the mine.
Thanks Guys!
Yes, the GP35 is latest modelling effort, although older Kato model. The SD45 I finished about 2 years ago & didn't want to try weathing it then, now it does look out of place!
