Here's mine:Photobucket

It was a weird kind of week.  I had lots of non-model railroading things to do (I'm on the city council and then there's my job - sigh).  I did build this 100:1 gearbox for the turntable in the background.

I always enjoy the work you all post on WPF each week (sort of makes up for what used to be in Model Railroader's Trackside Photos.  Keep up the great work - you are my inspiration!

Phil,

I have to correct you... it is a 0-8-0 switcher.

 Great pic!

Nothing new from me this weekend, but I've surely enjoyed seeing the fine work of some very skilled modelers here!

And, here's a few N-scale pics: I laid some track down on a section of my layout and put bushes and rocks in the background:

I posted my latest pics of my N-scale diorama on a different thread so I won't post them here.

For the most part I don't comment as much as I like to on Photo Fun. I do however, download the best of the pictures here and have them on my screen saver at work. So when I am getting lazy (or am on the phone) I get a rolling slide show of the work that is done here. It keeps me inspired about moving ahead with my own layout(s).

This week in particular there were several great pictures. Thanks everyone.
