Here's one from my picture stash. Hopefully this scene might play out on the real NS Pittsburgh Line someday. Show me a wood trestle.

Here's a Gn15 mining tram trestle on my 1/24th scale In-ko-pah Railroad:

 

And you can see several trestles on the mainline, in this overall shot of the layout:

GP-9-Man,

This picture and others of your layout make me envious of it's size and design until I think of all the track weathering and ballasting involved.

Pictures of the 1/10th. you have posted are very impressive.

If you expect to complete it you better be a young man. Big Smile

Lets continue with the request for a coal train.

Thanks for the kind words. Thankfully, I'm only 30, so I've got time. Anway, here's some Coltrane while we wait for that coal train.

Well I can do that...  lots of areas under construction on the SLOW.  This is a fill resulting in a Girder Bridge over what will be a road.  Bridge and piers are all scratch built except for the bridge shoes.  Working on the dirt road tonight.

Show me something you have been building for your layout.

I am working on a 70' pulpwood car for Boothbay Railway Village. The car is a Northeastern Scale wood kit. The car was built and painted by another museum volunteer; I have added decals and weathering, and will be adding a pulpwood load from sticks and twigs I collected from around my house.

The car weighs 0.8 oz. and NMRA recommends 5.8 oz. for this length. I made up 2 load cores from scrap wood, and rolled up some sheet lead to fill one of the holes. When I start adding the load (today hopefully) I can add additional lead, if necessary. Shown here, I am test fitting the cores which need a bit of trimming to fit better.

August is almost over, can we make this a 4 page Show Me by tomorrow??

Show me somethng else in progress
