Here's a couple of older shots: Another tier and a half have been completed since this early September shot. One more tier to go! Where each track goes (the "U" indicates upper level connection, and the "L" means lower connection). The photo above is looking at the top of the diagram. Probably doesn't make much sense, huh?

Wow! Your passengers may get dizzy, though.

tomkat-13, May I ask where you aquired the MKT tankers ? I'm modeling the MKT from Smithville TX to Taylor TX in 1952.
Thanks,
Tom

Are you sure you're using IE6.0? Go to "Help" then "About Internet Explorer" and see if you really are using 6.0 or maybe your PC was upgraded to 7.0.

Research; it's not just for geeks.
I'm also using IE6.0 and I've never had a problem with posting pictures. Here's your picture in a link format:

Bxcarmike,
Is this what you're trying to show?
Are you using Internet Explorer 7.0? That is probably the reason your post didn't work.
Bxcarmike. here are the 2 photos you were trying to post.

Still no layout photos here as I am still in planning phase on my layout. I did how ever get a new gp-50 for my birthday. It is in norfolk-southern livery, but will be repainted along with all my motive power as soon as I get a scheme planned with the layout. Great photos from everyone, keep them coming. Its this thread that really keeps one motivated to get the track plan done and start building.
Good work again this week guys. I love this thread.
Jon, nice job of weathering those cars. I love the buildings in the background too!
Not much new on the BRVRR this week, but I did get to run a few trains earlier today.
The first photo is of east bound NYC Mike #9519 with a coal train of 12-cars and a caboose as it passed Grafton Tower.
The second is of NYC Hudson #5335 at the head of a 9-car mail and express, eastbound on the inner mainline at the same location.
.
Keep up the good work guys. I need the ideas.
Remember its your railroad

The quonset hut from that kit won't fit in that spot on the layout, so I haven't put it together yet. Thanks for showing yours - it's nice to see how it will look put together. Here are a few more shots of the tank farm and loading rack from different angles. Still a bit of pink foam showing in this corner of the layout, I'm afraid.
I also put together about a hundred feet of timber wall this afternoon. Sure is easier in 1:87 than it would have been in real life.

It's been some time since i've had something worth posting.
It's shaping up to be a rough day for commuters in North Worcester. Because North Ave. Bridge construction is so far behind schedule, work had to be done duing the daytime. Today, one lane is closed to install the stonework on one of the bridge abutments. A gravel truck sits waiting in the breakdown lane on the other side. As a result, all traffic is using one lane. The police officer is vigilant as he controls traffic, but doesn't watch the workers behind him. It doesn't look like this job will be moved any closer to schedule; the workers brought beer! Unfortunately, it seems the taxi has gotten stuck behind a smelly sanitation truck.
People in N. Worcester are now seriously considering using the commuter rail service that will travel over the new bridge! :-)
Heres a little fun project I am currently working on..Here is a picture of the car I am using as a guide line .
And the project-still have lots of work to do.

As always, nice work everyone.
While waiting to complete the rest of my benchwork due to plan changes, I've put my hand to the models I've been accumulating. I've started on the Walthers Interstate Fuel & Oil. The tanks are now assembled and hope to get them painted today. MisterBeasely, I believe I saw a detail picture from you in WFP last weekend - nice and would love to see the rest of it ?
Plan changes: After a month of vacation I managed to complete track work on my lower level. It was (note past tense) a staging level but I had made the mistake in starting to scenic it. Then got carried away with more and more scenery and started to plan just a few structures.
Long story short, we placed the first module of the upper deck in place and it was too low and too deep for viewing and reach - . We even tried to raise it. So, the lower level will become the main and only level. Gave up the helix (why am I not sad) but did have to add a lift out which will be modeled after the bridge crossing the Colorado river in La Grange Tx. Was able to add a TT and RH in Smithville and this weeked, BINGO - met someone who worked on the Katy (now an engineer on UP) in Smithville who has the plans for all the track layout and the RR back when the Katy was there.
So, mistake on my part has led to a vast improvement.
Evolve or perish.

Been working on this SP Daylight Alco PA-1. Have to put it down now. Waiting for a bright white LED and some more decals to finish it.

I am 19 and recently got an airbrush for my birthday so I painted and decaled some Athearn reefers in the UP white schemes. For my first attempt at airbrushing and decaling I was pleased with my efforts. I am planning on putting a light weathering coat on them eventually.
