Jarrell, a lovely image.  I especially note, and appreciate what it took to make it look so good, the wonderful berm and rocks on each side of the approach to the bridge.  Very nice!!!

Crandell

Crandell, I appreciate that.  I was just studying your second shot of your turntable in the post right above this, the weathering and the 'water' in the bottom, the engine in the background, and I know the hoops you have to jump through to shoot that image..   It ain't real easy..

Doesn't look like any northbounds will be coming along for a while.

Here's a photo from my old Ozark Belt Ry. (Since dismantled mostly after the move...most of my equipment is at my parent's house.)

I'm finally back and it feels great. Rejuvinated, I've got a lot done  on my section this weekend. Mostly scenery and finishing up wiring. Sorry for the bad photo's, just a few shots from the cell phone.

Allow me to drop the bar for yas.

  Tis be a goodly amount of 10-12 years ago. It's a 4H diorama I did. Note the road is Hotwheels and the track ain't ballasted.

Everybody has to start somewhere.  And your is as good a start as many others I have seen.

Bob, the turntable actually comes more or less concrete color, and also with two swipes of an airbrush at right angles that meet at the center of the pit...an X if you will. What I did was first to score the styrene in horizontal sweeps with a hobby blade to simulate layered concrete pours and framing, and then I used acrylic crafts paints to simulate dirt and rust stains. I painted the area near the central bearing with a mixture of black and burnt umber to simulate oil and water, and then I covered it with a finish-quality two-part epoxy. Here is a better view: Crandell

 

Dang, Crandell! You need to put out a calendar. I'll be your first customer.

I'm still working on bringing this IHC 0-8-0 up to date. Here she is with a bit of weathering.

and while not done,  she runs pretty well too - with a Soundtraxx Tsunami.

you can see and hear her in this youtube video.

To make a long story short, I was essentially forced to buy $100 worth of track. Since I had it, I laid a lot of it last night. Photos can be found in my Construction Blog.

Enjoy!

I was too busy Saturday to shoot any video of my open house

but Sunday i went to my friend Art's house and shot some video of his layout

trouble with open houses is there's always lots of talking in the background

Here are 4 more shots from Sunday.

Here's a Transfer Caboose I'm scratch building over the past couple of weekends and a 200 ton crane I built this weekend. I just have to get some Decals for them.

Hope they came through ok
