Great idea here! Here's my collector's wall with a 1935? Lionel M-10,000 I paid $25 for.

craignor, thanks for starting up this fun weekly thread!

Big Boy, your helix (if that's what it is) reminds me of the framework of the Flying Turns at old Euclid Beach in Cleveland.

I like to slam cars around with this Atlas SW8. It's the only TMCC engine I own, but I want to convert some others.

Hmmm where have I seen this done before????!! Great Idea for the CTT forum. Here is one of my favorites:

[Jim Duda]

As soon as the white glue dries, I'll do the first pour of Envirotex Lite...since this stuff is a catalyzed 2 part mixture, you don't have to limit each pour to 1/8 inch...it cures even at thicker amounts. I like 2 separate pours, every 24 hours, of 1/4". Since the banks are 3/4 ", this leaves about 1/4" to the top of the bank. I also like to tint the envirotex a brown/green color...looks more realistic (to me) than leaving it crystal clear.

This is my "Winter Scene" area - the top is 3/4" styrofoam on top of a 3/4" ply, with another 3/4" styrofoam on the bottom. With the foam roadbed, it is Q-U-I-E-T!!! One advantage of using foam is that you can take a cheap 25 watt soldering iron and cut out the lake contours, then just pry it off of the plywood AFTER it has been glued together. Lotsa options on scenery!

Folks,

I thought it may be fun to open a regular weekly place for CTT Forum members to post photos of their layouts, projects, railfan shots, whatever as long as its train related.

If you all like this, in the future anyone can start this on any day, and call it what ever you want. I just wanted to get the ball rolling.

So post em if you got em!

My pics:

A Western Maryland H-9 Consolidation hauling freight by the tower. BTW, thats me on the top of the stairs waiving, me peering out the fireman's side of the loco cab, and me in the caboose too![8D]

Bringing up the rear of this all boxcar freight is a small Western Maryland bobber caboose. It didnt come with a crew. This weekend I removed a Fireman from a Geep, and glued him on the chair in coupala of the bobber. A quick and dirty, yet satisfying little project.[:)]

Here are the pics:
