Karl., that has the makings of a fine structure. How did you do the lettering? Decal, stencil, other method? It looks really effective.

Looks like those files are still on your hard drive. There is a thread on how to post photos, but here's the short version. You'll need to upload the photos to a hosting site. If you don't have a website, many of us here use www.photobucket.com for hosting our pics. You'll have to set up an account, but it's free. Once your pics are uploaded, left click, then right click below it on the "IMG" tag, and select "copy" (to clipboard). Now, in your message, right click and select "paste" and the "IMG" tag and link will appear. If all went well, the photo will show up when you post your message.

Hi yaz folks,
I just got done with one of my latest scratch builds. A HO scale Morgan 400 ton ladle crane for the future BOF building. No design here folks,mostly freelance,although it is modeled after a real crane....somewhat.
Hope you folks enjoy the photos.

Heres my Contribution to weekend Photo Fun. All of these where taken on the Franklin Range Division Modular group. The train I was running was 90+ cars and had 4 engines. 3 on the head end and 1 in the middle. This is one of 2 Coal mines on the layout.
This is my F59PHI and my Pennsy E8 sitting at our model of a large passenger terminal
This engine Is powered and it is Helping. The train was so long that without it, it would string-line.
Heres the Head end of the train
Heres the head end coming out of a tunnel. more of the is visible in the background.
I was running a caboose on Modern Era train. They had alot of reverse moves to do
Here is my SD70M, with my soon to be NS SD40-2s, and my BN/BNSF SD40-2 passing my SP and DMIR Tunnel Motors and my soon to be NS D9-44CWs and my CNW AC44CW.
Those Reefers look great 45T-2!!! I'm glad you are happy with the X-ing signals b/c I was not sure if they would work well or not!
THANKS!
its actually printed on the siding using my inkjet. I use 1/64 plywood. First I whitewash the ply with 2 coats of very thin white (this is the base for my final colour, you can use whichever colour necessary) I use a 4"x6" piece of ply. put the ply into the printer with the grain orientated so that it will curl around the rollers in the printer. In the graphics software set the image so it will print to the correct orientation for the grain in the wood (I usuall make several trials on paper till I have it right , then use the wood). Print out.
I trim the ply to roughly the size I need then cut it into strips for the siding. Then I individually grain, stain and weather each strip.
Once weathering is dry rebuild the sign over the subwall or frame.
It took a few trys to get the sign right through the printer, the 'bad' prints can be used as subwalls or reversed and used as plain siding elsewhere, no wastage.
Damn impressive Karl!!!

That scratch built is gorgeous, Karl.
Here are my efforts for the weekend.
Tree planting seems to be slow,but I have been working on a tunnel portal at the same time.

Thank you. Impressive is that cab forward and the gorgeous work you did to it(among others). Still my favorite weathered loco on the web.
The first spike is driven for the N scale Appalachian Central. I didn't make as much progress as I would have liked but it's a start.
My layout seems to be missing something? Havent figured it out yet tho.
I have a link to a new Youtube video I made today. I hope it works

well it isnt much and I just got done with it. Its an HO scale 70 ton Covered Hopper by Bowser. I got this at the local Hobbytown and it was on the clearance table for $6.00 for a week. I couldnt believe it was still there.
Progress was a little slow this week. I added some soda machines, yard lighting and street signs to my intermodal facility.

Well better late than never:
I started with this stock Atlas Trainman RS32:
Removed the stock incorrect vertical headlights and installed an SP mars light/horizontal headlight set on the cab, added a nose light per SP. Removed rear high vertical headlight installed a lowered horizontal headlight.
Side shot of same unit:
I guess some weathering is next , too clean to be an SP unit.

unfortunatly my work over the weekend was not productive for the layout at all
i had to pack up all my stuff because my parents are preparing to sell out house, i will be moving up to PA sometime, early this summer
my dad made me put away most of my stuff into tubs because i was taking up a lot of selve space down in the basement, and he wants te reorganize before house tours start
and i also had to start taking apart the my layout
and next weekend I have to fully dismantle it
the only thing that i am getting to keep up is a small 1x4 diorama im starting to build up in my room
i really cant wait till my parents finally decide on a house up north so i can start planning the next layout, and im hoping to get a finished basement this time.
:)
really nice work as usual everyone
Sorry I'm so late guys.
Great work as usual. There are too many good works to comment on at this late hour. I wish I had half of the ability that is demonstrated here every week!
This is my latest project now that I have my NYC passenger consist finished. Its a PK1 RDC in B&O livery that I picked up more than a year ago. I have finally gotten around to changing it into a NYC RDC.
I removed the decals, glass and other markings and gave the shell a light coat of silver to hide the Proto 'sparkle'. The trucks and under-body have been painted a medium gray. After looking at it for awhile, I decided to dress up the interior and add some passengers. Lighting is next.
Keep up the good work everyone. This thread is always inspiring. If you get a chance, check out my updated website. Lots of new pictures and an update on my grandson's new layout.
Remember its your railroad

On the bright side you'll be moving up here to your RR's namesake state and original home. Still plenty of places up here to get prototypical photos from.
