BRVRR eric2448, I get the same Forbidden message when I try to view your photos as 'Bear' must be getting. I have no Idea how to fix the problem though there must be a simple fix. In any case, .

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
I have recently moved from Pennsylvania to Nevada. We have every little room in our "new" rented place so little modeling for me for a while. However, the bonus is that I am in a railroad town.
Here is the local station which is now City offices.
Friday we drove up to the county seat and got our marriage license. This little fellow sits at the edge of the courthouse property in the park.
Sunday as we were coming back into town from Las Vegas, we noticed a WB coal train stopping.
This is the "caboose" end of the coal train.
My new bride was taking the pictures while I got the mail and I could hear locomotives and looked west....it was the first meet I have seen in town! I had to yell at her from across the street to turn around. An EB mixed.
The first boxcar was Mexican one and it was a ruster and tagger dream...and she didn't get a good shot of it!!!
And as it was about to pass the "cabeese!"
One thing I never expected to see on the UP was Norfolk Southern locomotives, but I have seen them lead by a UP of course, but I didn't have a camera with me that day.

Here are two photos from a not-quite-completed section of the Bunter Ridge, Raton Pass Southwestern.
These two are taken from the western side of the Laqatlas River, so named because the scenery was constructed and river poured while waiting for Atlas code 55 turnouts. I reached a point of grinding halt after building the lower staging area to the point where I needed turnouts to build the "back half" of the yard ladder. Being stuck with those lemons, the Laqatlas River scene became the lemonade.
This scene is built on a peninsula about 4x6. The track spirals down a double track oval helix the entire length (and then some) of the peninsula. The oval helix allows me to wind the track down about a foot in about a 1.5% grade using 21" minimum radius eased curves meshing up to straight sections of about 36" between curves.
In the first picture, an E8A shows off in front of a fisherman on the hunt for rainbow trout in the Laqatlas in the fall of 1958. In the extreme foreground are a pair of deer sneaking a drink. The locomotive is a Kato, the figures and trees are Woodland Scenics. The river still needs some surface effects which will come next. It is three layers of EnviroTex Lite. Ballast is Arizona Rock and Mineral C&NW/Santa Fe Mauve.
The second picture is further up the Laqatlas, where a pair of canoers enjoy the same fall day as a Bunter Ridge RS1 appears. These figures are also Woodland Scenics, with the partially visible RS1 being an Atlas.
The locomotives are lightly weathered (does not show up in the photo very well), and supposed to indicate they were recently shopped and underwent the paint scheme adopted in 1956 to coincide with orders for Alco RS11s and EMD SD9s. The paint is Tru-Color, unthinned when I airbrushed it. Decals were printed on a laser printer.

I went to Baltimore over spring break, and during the trip I did make to MB Klein. They were helpful, kind, and had a beautiful shop. This is what I got.

Its been a while since I've posted anything, but just finished up a kit-bash from 2 old HO Sun Coast kits to create a model of C&O's Ansted WV station. Its based upon an old photo of the freight station version (apx. 1910) and a plan drawing of the 1920-ish passenger waiting room/agent office addition. This station was torn down around 1958 or so.

Ski season is over, so I'm back to working on the railroad again. The last couple of weeks have been spent on this Walthers tank car platform.
Lots of small parts for a small kit. I've spent two whole weekends on it, on and off, as it's one of those where you paint a bit, let it dry, glue a bit, let it set and so on. I've still got parts on the sprues left to go, but this is the general look of it. The tanker is an Athearn Hooker Chemical car I scored off eBay. The pipes to the left will be extended out for a while. The thin sections on the ends are to make it easier to attach the extensions, which are made of coffee stirrers.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Happy Easter! This is my first venture into the WPF threads, although I frequently lurk and admire everyones work. I finally assembed 15 flat cars for my Ringling Bros Circus train this week and am happy with the result. These all started out as Walthers kits of various release from the early 90's, repainted and decaled. Next step is to install the metal wheelsets and fine tune the trucks and couplers.
Happy Easter everybody!
After much dragging of feet, I finally got back to work on the engine yard on the Altooona end of the layout. I'm not trying to recreat the actual Pennsy Juniata shops; that wouldtake up half my layout. I'm trying to give an impression of whats there. Sorry for the poor image quality, these were taken with my iPad and not my SLR.

bogp40 C&O Fan Slow Progress on the Milwaulkee Road Engine house at Avery CO that i've been working on for my friend in AZ's layout I made the doors and found some hinges that are actually for a doll house so they are a bit large but after painting theyshould work I used a stain pen/marker to stain all the interior wood Happy Easter All ~! Some great stuff, Guys. Terry, great job on that structure. If those hindges bother you, you can try drwayne's method of "hook" and "eyelet from bronze/ piano wire. The strap detail can be made to scale w/ styrene. Are those "stain" markers the ones from Minwax?

Thanks for the kind words I thought about using just straight pins as hidden hinges but chose to go with these instead
They probably won't show anyway as the doors will be open most of the time
Yes the Stain Pens are the ones from Minwax you can get them at most DIY stores in the paint dept
I prefer the Dark Walnut and Early American Antique
They really are a mess free way to stain

Modeling B&O- Chessie Bob K. www.ssmrc.org
Had a productive weekend so far.
Here is the progress. This side with the bridge will be pretty steep mountainous terrain similar to what Jim Reising's Oakville sub.
This side will be low hills along the backdrop. Where the hills rise to blend into the other side will be a ranch. The other end will be a large orange grove and you can see another small section to the left of the photo will be an town and industrial area with a grain elevator and a produce supplier.
Great work from everyone else!
Cheers,

Here's an update to my previous post. Weathering is done and glass is installed. After working on this little guy for months, he's on the layout for good:
This is the first time I've used slide cover glass on a model. With a little practice I found the .007 inch thick glass pretty easy to cut using a carbide-tipped scriber. I used speaker foam adhesive to glue it in place. The results are darned good.
Phil, I'm not a rocket scientist; they are my students.
Happy Easter!
Great stuff again this week guys.
Here is one from the Railroading Page on my updated website.
The Grafton Turn, which today starts out with NYC SW-8 #9622 and its caboose are eastbound on their daily run. They are passing the Farmers Union Elevator and approaching the Grafton Tower.
Keep the photos and ideas coming guys. You make WPF the best thread of the week.
trainguy4466 - great work!
Nice pictures everyone.
Lots of great work and it's only Friday night.
As for me, my decals arrived from Rail Graphics. So my little parts built loco got "branded":
Tomorrow I'll give it a little light weathering.
