Nice job weathering, you guys! Well I did a lot of work on assembling structures.
Here is an overall progress picture: http://community.webshots.com/photo/109373438/258225554spKfSP
This is what I have done on my asphalt plant: http://community.webshots.com/photo/258224997/258224997pZlhWT I will probably finish it next time I am at my dad's house.
This is my completed rolling mill: http://community.webshots.com/photo/258225898/258225898ISOdIx Now I am just waiting for some decal softening and setting solution so I can apply decals and then weather the beast. It also needs to have some gaps filled and such.

I finally got started yesterday. I should say I got false started. Got my son's Hogwart Express to track well, but if it crosses a turnout from the frog side, it loses the front truck. He'll have to learn.

I had to take the 4x8 table down and redo at 4.5 x 8. Although I could make do with table top 4x8 plywood, I only had one sheet for the cookie cutting. I need a second one and that is why you see the plywood covering half the foam. I also had trouble with the flex part of the track. I hadn't expected the rails to be uneven. I have to send away for an emergency rail cutter. Anyway, at least it is forward progress.

Here is what I worked on:














It was not a good weekend.

[BRVRR]

Guess I'll join in too.
The photo below is of my BRVRR F7 #1116. An Athearn body on an MRC chassis with a Lenz LE1000W decoder for motor control and lights. It is currently the only 'house' loco on the layout and the only one that doesn't look showroom new. I weathered it using artist's chalks and Dullcoat. Although you might not be able to see him, there is an engineer in there.



There are more photos of my layout, locos and rolling stock on my web site.
Keep up the good work guys. This type of thread is always inspiring.

Here's my project

My little 0-6-0 ( it was a 2-6-0 I lost the little spring for the front wheel mounting plate)

The tender-loco hoses need some weathering the colours are orange, gray, white, blue, black, red, yup decoder in the tender.



It's the basic model Bachmann and I find the motor/gears noisey so I may swap the decoder into something else oneday.

I'm still waiting for pictures from onsoroy, TEFFY, Chuck Walsh, Tom White, and AndreChapoleon. Come on brothers.

Anyway, heres one from Mr. Jones.

I like this one cause multiple conifers are visable in this shot.

Can anyone guess what steamer is at the top of the photo?

Here is a picture of some of the trees I have completed. I still have a lot more to do. 75% of the trees visible in this pic are made with the ground foam I made myself.


Here is a picture of my scratchbuilding project sitting outside the carshop. The railings were just fabricated and installed. The boss does not look too happy as this engine should have been in paint by now. Heads are going to roll.

Craig-- Cool retention pond!

Aggro--The "mystery" loco is possibly your NYC Hudson, or a C&O T-1?

Dano--Is that done with an airbrush?

Great work everyone!

Hey danno I also completeda C&O engine this week. I had a couple of old Athearns lying around and decided to do this! This loco will be sitting in the display case.
