This is the weekend thread where modelers can show their completed models, work under construction and layout pictures new and old.
Let's have a lot of participation this weekend!

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!
Good morning from partly sunny and cold Northeast Ohio!
Managed to finish a couple of cars this week.
First up, a Kadee PS 2003CF Covered Hopper kit, painted with Scalecoat II Black Paint and lettered with Tichy Decals. This car is a standin for the Greenville clone of the PS car, not much difference. The NKP used these cars in Cement, Sand and Potash Service.
Next up another Greenville car, this time a Stewart kit for a NYC Hopper car, painted with Scalecoat II Black paint and lettered with Brian Banna's decals for this car. The NYC in the late fifties was replacing old 2 and 3 bay hopper cars with new construction to haul coal from mines in WV, IN and IL.
Some Athearn NKP GP9's with a general freight, running on the Strongsville Model Railroad Club layout.
Thanks for looking!
Thanks for starting us out Rick.
A couple of recent arrivals to the layout, two Rapido D-10s.

Good stuff so far, guys!
Winter is finally setting in, getting me past summer RR block. It seriously is still very moderate here.
I picked up this Cary Pittsburg Boiler for a Tyco General 4-4-0 drive. I find the proportions toylike, the cab too far back and too tall...
I used a jewelers saw to laboriously remove the cab, to lower it, bring it forward, and remove about 9 scale inches from it's length. Mocked up with a Rivarossi "Bowker" tender which will probably be used, without that plastic wood load. Dan
