Here are a few from Saturday's Motor City O-Gauge Railers meet.
I got tired of looking at empty flatcars so I mde some loads. The red flat has an old rotisserie(spelling)motor from a grill. It kinda looks like a big machine of some sort. The blue car has a crate I made from some scrap balsa wood I had laying around.
The weather has been so cold and crappy around here I thought this would warm things up.
Have a good weekend, whats left of it.
Bob
Just for the fun of it!
I really enjoy this ice loader, kinda neat in an old fashioned way

the ice house scene is great, I particularly like the the old chicken coop and the cat sleeping on the tractor.

Jonadel, I really like how you've used operating accessories with realistic scenery. This is the kind of look I'd like for my future layout. Do you have any more photos or a website? Don

Great photos Model A. I really like the middle one.

Here is the new Meyesdale depot mocked up for site sizing. It obviously isn't the ornate gem that Point of Rocks was, but is fairly close in dimensions to the B&O structure. I love how the hillside juts out towards the trackage.
A shot of the scenery "framework", with Haystack mountain forming immediately behind the town.
Ceiling tile strips stacked at an angle give the tunnel interior a little more interest.
I want to take this time to personally thank the fine citizens of Toronto, Canada, whose hard work made this project all the more enjoyable.
Its hard to believe that its spring. Here in Wisconsin there is still snow on the ground. You would think by now that the kids would get tired of playing in the snow. But I guess not. Even the adults get taken up in the fun.
I sure hope things thaw out here soon.

Thank you all for taking the time to post pictures. I hope you realize that some of the folks on the forum don't have a layout and really enjoy looking at your stuff.
Model A......someone else actually has postwar 2046 Hudson other than me and actually posted a pic! Is that a 3 window cab earlier version?
FJ.....looking at the cherry blossoms, there's some hope for us where it seems the snow is finally defeated.
Fife and Jon.....the Molson and Lowenbrau detail sent me a subliminal message, removed ice from the grill, and bought some propane. Inspiration comes from strange places.
Doug.....so someone else on the planet has an interest in the Rock Island.
Again, guys, thanks for posting.
