An Eastbound freight led by a PRR L1s passes the local Passenger train temporarily led by a PRR M1b (to help the train through the mountains) waiting near the station.
Lets see more steam!

More steam, please.
More Steam!
A lineup of New York Central's Finest...
Let's have MORE steam!
I really need to take some new pic's as the track in this one has long since been ballasted.
Show me a steamer that has a tender on it that didn't come with the engine.

"All of the world's problems are the result of the difference between how we think and how the world works."
"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
Here's a Pennsy I1sa climbing out of the fog with a "Coast to Coast Tender" that was not "factory equipment". As built they had a 90-F-82 tender and some later recieved a 210-F-82-A or B tender.
Show me more rebuilt, modified or unusual steam...

A PM class MK-6 Mikado, kitbashed from a Nickel Plate Products Erie N1 2-8-2 by Art Million. This involved, most notably, adding a compressor to the pilot and replacing the Venderbilt tender with one from a Rivarossi Berkshire. The PM purchased five of these locomotives from the Erie around 1930 and modified them pretty much as shown.An article on this locomotive in the C&O Historical Society's newsletter back in 1984 convinced me that modeling PM steam was an achievable goal. Sadly, this model became available as part of Art's estate back in 2006.
Let's see a model that either convinced you that something was possible, or that changed how you looked at modeling.

The first locomotive I did with scratch shells using a piece of PVC pipe I found under a porch as the main boiler tube. It laid the foundation for the techniques I use today.
Let's see another project that was a great educational experience.

This HOn30 switcher was an experiment that worked. I kitbashed an HO scale Athearn Hustler body to fit an N scale Bachmann 44 Tonner, using the DCC on board to operate it
A similar experiment was installing a Z scale decoder in a Minitrains HOn30 Forney. The Forney is quite small with little available space inside.
Both of these locomotives are for the Bootbay Railway Village layout.
Show me something kitbashed

50 ft. TOFC flat car.
Show me a flat car w/wo load, please.
Grampys TrainsShow me a flat car w/wo load, please.
Here's a box-beam fabrication apparatus (I think that's what they're called)
Show me another open-car load.
All the hoppers have home made coal loads. I got 30 or more hoppers in this train. Loads are pieces of soft pine, cut to fit inside the hoppers, painted black, and covered with HO scale coal.
Show me any kind of loaded open car.

The pictures are fantastic, each month they seem to get better. Most are looking like actual pics.
Here is an older Mackean, open braced centerbeam. Quite a few mods and addeed weight and truck mods to end up w/ a decent working car either loaded or empty. The rmovable load is stripwood veneered over a pine notched out block.
Show me more open or flat load/s

Bob,
That load on your centerbeam sure looks a lot better than the one that was recently featured in this thread:

And somebody shelled out $135+ to say it's theirs!
Nice work!

Here is my own brand of building material in this custom made load, Lumber from Crooked River. I made a bunch of these so my lumber train could look more uniform like a lot of the cars came from the same mill. Crooked River should be a hint that it is a fictional mill.
Please show me more lumber, on a railcar, truck, at the mill, or on a jobsite.
Independence Building Supply is served by a spur next to their open-air lumber shed. The Clifton Hill turn set out a boxcar overnight, and I'm sure the workers will want to unload this car before the afternoon heat makes unloading unbearable.
The Minneapolis & St. Louis 1937 AAR boxcar is an Innovative Model Works kits. They were a leader in producing very accurate plastic freight car kits in the 1980s.
