I added a billboard & signs to the layout.
GP9 Man, I was just thinking about leftover Chrismas decorations on my drive home from hockey late Tuesday night. Not only do some folks leave them up all year, but the lights are still on! I've been slowly dealing with my own Branchline kit, the Munnsville Depot. It's a lot simpler than that house, and more straightforward. Still, I've been on the job for a month and there's still work to do.
Mike, I really like your work with those figures. So, I present the first of a series. I call this one "Four Characters in Search of a Setting:"
The final scene will be instantly recognizeable to most of you. I'll try posting progress pics, but how soon can you guess what it will be? I'll be "people bashing" the figures a bit with razor saw, glue and putty. They are pictured in the order that they will appear on the final scene, and no, it's not railroad-related. It will be tucked into a wooded area, one of those "Easter Eggs" that you have to look around a bit to notice.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

Here is my week's progress. I have finished my B&O caboose, and have been working on a new pipe load and I am still waiting for my DCC decoder to arrive.

Incredible work by everyone!!! I'm glad to see that participation in the best thread of the week is up.
Here is one from a recent operating session (My grandson running the trains) on the BRVRR.
NYC Hudson #5335 rounds the General Industries Curve at the head of a heavyweight consist, bound for Chicago.
Keep up the good work everyone. Thanks for making WPF the best thread of the week, every week.
Remember its your railroad

Any ideas?
I've rearranged some arms, and added hats to 2 of the figures. Another has "bulked up," all with the aid of putty. Just a bit of sanding an they'll be ready for paint.
Oh, and I apologize for the photo quality. My camera seems to have died a horrible death. Time to get a new one.
Thanks for the great pic's,everyone.

We have a winner.
Alex, I like the caboose - it looks so "industrial". Cool.

Toto was off looking for a fire hydrant. Rest assured that I've found a model suitable for conversion. Don't anyone tell Toto he was born a cat. Toto was not in the scene I used to create the characters, though:
Again, I apologize for the poor photo quality. I'm looking for a real camera to replace my old one.
Mr. B,
Very impressive modeling.

Oh, noooooo!
I'll take the dog, even if I have to pick up his doggie droppings, over THAT music.
I know it's late but I thought I'd show the completed GP4.0
