WPF 10/2-10/4

[Annonymous]

Great WPF with a lot of wonderful pics

Now, something a bit different. Got my second brass engine yesterday, a loco I had since long desired but almost given up on by now, the NSB (Norwegian State Railways) class 24b. This one is made by Brimalm (Swedish mfg), only 250 made, and possibly the only one with factory installed DCC and sound, according to the previous owner. She also has sprung buffers and axels, and a detailed cab interior:

The front pilot truck have larger flange wheels to negotiate sharp curves, as you can see in the pics, they will be replaced with the original wheels.

Sorry about the dust, she looked good to the eye, but the camera has its own mind...

RT, thanks for your compliment! 

Yes, in truth, there is more wrong with that scene, as you might not have been inclined to point out.  I agree, the sidings should be more earth-filled and weedy, and the main, itself, ought to have deeper and nicely groomed ballast.  It is a consequence of my rush to build this second layout.  I am resolved to never allow myself to do that again.  Such omissions and defects last a very long time between layout builds.

I was fooling around with an older shot today, doing some cropping and adjusting, so thought I'd post it.  I'm still having trouble reading those little dinky symbols on the camera, so the focus isn't exactly what I hoped it would be. 

But what the Heck, here it is:  One of my Challengers on Yuba Summit.

Do like your rockwork there Knowcents!

Thanks! It is a combination of plaster and pine bark nuggets!! A buddy of mine has been showing me how to use the nuggets.

That's interesting, Jeff.  Could you give a brief description of how it's done, with a closeup photo?  I'm always interested in 'new to me' ways of doing scenery.

Thanks,

Jarrell

Nice photo Tom

What's the purpose of the container with the yellow stripes behind the headlight

on the front deck of the loco ?
