What is the WPF?  Why wouldn't you post here?

"WPF" is "Weekend Photo Fun," the thread in this forum devoted to participants' pictures of whatever interests them.  It generally kicks off every Friday, hence the name.  I didn't violate forum policies, but in my opinion my random pictures fit better there than as a separate thread.  Call it elegance, I guess.

But, if the moderator is watching:  I tried to delete my post and try again in WPF, but nothing happened when I hit "delete."  I did notice that the word "delete" did appear as the first word in my subject, however, but that eventually disappeared. Go figure.

Apologies, guys; I intended to post this to WPF.

I can confirm, however, that the Delete button doesn't work!

Brass Camelback; Scratch Built Business Car; The Rock
Posted by fkrall on Saturday, February 2, 2013 7:17 AM

My first WPF contribution, albeit cheating somewhat by leading with a friend's outstanding models.  He stopped by to run trains on my layout and brought a beautiful Ajin brass Camelback, 15 years old and the first time under power.  She ran like a dream:

He also brought a scratch-built CNJ business car.  Note the table lamp in the fully detailed interior:

Beautiful, inspirational models I wanted to share.

Less inspirational but an accomplishment for me was learning how to color rocks.  This is plaster from a Stirling Models latex mold, colored with craft acrylic washes.  Note the number--it took me a while!
