[Motley]

I was able to find some D&RGW equipment. This is a BLI SD9.

I finally recieved my photo backrop order this weekend, as you can see in the background. I'm still working on mounting the rest of the backdrops.

I'll post the first photo again to see if anything has changed.

I can see all of them now. It must have been one of those annoying temporary situations where not everything always works.

.

Great work... and thank you for sharing.

Hello Folks —

Thanks for kicking things off this weekend, Rick.

Excellent contributions as always.

I haven't made any "photo-worthy" progress this week. I spent a few days getting a new computer set up for layout use, loading JMRI and Decoder Pro, etc.

Here's a recent photo, at least:

I don't know what to say Kevin. Nothing has been changed on this end that I know of. I'll post the first photo again to see if anything has changed.

Rick: Yes, I do appreciate your fictitious hopper car. Those custom decals are very well designed. I like the lettering and the herald. You did a great job on that freight car, and the other two as well.

Garry: The farm scene by the curve in the railroad track is another great scene on your amazing layout. Great picture.

Allan: We are having some kind of a glitch, and I cannot see either of the pictures in your posts.

Peter: I love the turkey on the tug. I think this is a perfect time to share Turkey pictures, but I don’t have any.

.

I don’t have anything new to share again this week, so here is a scene I put together on my 30-inch square diorama board. I will have something new next week.

Rick,  Thanks for the WPF opening, always a pleasure seeing the fruits of your modeling skills and energy.

Garry, Nice one, draws me in and gets me to thinking I've been in such a pleasant bucolic place before.

Allan, I like the scene and the way the headlight plays against the side of the passing locomotive.

Hoping it's not too early for a Turkey Day shot.

Thanks to all the contributors and viewers, Happy Thanksgiving and regards, Peter

A little something from yesterday afternoon when the UP Challenger excursion train passed through Black River:

Keep the photos and ideas coming guys.

Thanks Rick for starting off WPF. Good looking freight cars as usual.

Love the Burlington's Garry.

Not much new on the BRVRR again this week. Here is one from an operating session last year:  A Santa Fe passenger train with an A/B set of E7s meets a SF freight train with an A/B set of F7s at the west end of the BRVRR.

Lets keep WPF going guys. Thanks to you it is always the best thread of the week.

Good morning from mostly cloudy and cold Northeast Ohio!

This is the thread where modelers can show their completed projects, in progress projects and pictures of their layout both old and new.

First up is a car that Kevin should appreciate, out of my norm for a prototype car!

An Athearn Quad Hopper car, painted with Floquil Blue paint and lettered with decals I managed to acquire from the Tanana Valley Model Railroad Club in Fairbanks, AK. The Usibelli Coal Mines are located in Healy, AK and ship coal to areas out of Alaska via Seward, AK.  They have their own cars but the club created decals using the UCM logo.

Tangent Bethlehem Steel 52'6" Gondola Kit, painted with Scalecoat II PRR Freight Car Color, as the Lehigh Valley was controlled by the PRR at the time and they shared a lot of materials. Car was lettered using Champ Decals. 

McKeen Models ACF 50' Exterior Post boxcar kit, substituted wire grabs for the plastic ones, also used a better molded Branchline Diagonal Panel Roof in place of the kit one.  Also painted the car with PRR Freight Car Color as the prototype had a redder version of the Boxcar Red paint. Decaled with Herald King Decals. Cars eventually moved to the Southern and then the new Norfolk Southern railway.

Thanks for looking!
