I wonder what the dog wuz thinkin'.
That's who I was talkin' about.
I finally managed to locate a second CNW F3 at a local show yesterday enabling me to make a matching A-A set.
I soundchipped one of them and chipped the other with an NCE chip, after removing the Lenz chip that was already installed (didn't have speed tables and I was unable to match the speed of the 2 locos)
Naturally , I shot a video clip so you can also see and hear it in action.

Added the next section of trackwork to the crossing posted earlier this week...
Here is a shot of it joined to the previous section.
Not as intricate as the first piece, but important none the less...

Decided to stip/repaint an Atlas 60' AutoParts Car with damaged stirups(need to still fix those).
About halfway there, decals and more weathering tonight. (the nice weather slowed this one down)
Cheers

Tim,
You've got some mad skills!

Research; it's not just for geeks.
I lowered and moved the trucks on an N-scale Con-Cor autorack car, and also installed a working FRED on it:
Jeff,
Nice ceremony to mark the 'historic' event.
I hope you 'joined the sections before now and ran a few trains. I would never have had the patience to wait.
Good looking layout. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.
Remember its your railroad

Actually I had not. I had 2 point-to-point layouts up until this time. It was quite a test of patience. Train #1, the first to make the double loop of the mainline (after the track cleaner) was made up of 3 Dash 8s, two with sound. Behind this triple header was a string of 20 freight cars made up of boxcars, husky stacks, covered hoppers and a tank car. It was a beautiful sight.

jbink- congrats on your joyus occasion. Im right with you. Although the layout I have focused on right now has been "done" for 15 years, just yesterday I added some base scenery on bald mountain, and the layout is now "finished" and is ready for details and fun! Ill drink to that! Wish I had some pics, but the camera is dead and is on charge...

Well, here is an article he wrote on his "Steam" technique, I'm sure it still applies to steam and probably close to rolling stock, but maybe he'll share the full technique with us for rolling stock as I'm equally interested. SOOOO, comon Aggro! Oh and Aggro, I have recieved several emails about this article since it's posting, so you have a following across the states including this forum!Happy modeling!http://www.crtraincrew.com/modeling/steam1.html

WOW !

Thanks.
Actually weathering a steamer goes nothing like that modern ROCK, aside from the use of dullcote. I share some of techniques at the modeltrainsweathered.com

Aggro,
I always enjoy the detail on your rolling stock. I am curious, what are you using for your trees.
Sue
Thanks. Trees on my layout are mostly what some people refer to as 'Aggro trees' which are made from furnace filters, bamboo skewers, and various treated foams. I wrote down the process in a thread on this forum. Its round here somewhere.
A few 'super trees' and hair net trees are also used here to vary the look.
FastTracks: Do I dare ask how much time was put into that masterpiece of a switching complex?
Metro Red Line: What all did you do to move the trucks? I haven't seen the bottom of a Con-Cor autorack, so I'm not sure if it's a simple process or not. Wouldn't mind having a few of them. Where'd you get the FRED?

Designing it, about 100 hours so far. Building the first section of trackwork, the triple turnout, took about 3 evenings.
