Well I guess it is my turn to host photo fun.
Here is a vidoe that Larry worked on. http://youtube.com/watch?v=oU6rK8Hy17M

Anything is possible if you do not know what you are talking about.
It works now.
Sue, your video was wonderful!
I haven't posted here in quite a while (as usual).
A set of videos on my Westminster Heights Branch:

Yoshi,
Thanks. You have done a lot in 7 months. I am impressed. What type of trees are you using? I liked the comparison of before and after of the underpass. Your weathered rails are great,too.
So far. I will try to get some shots of my stockyard that is under construction.
Nice Video Sue
Filming it in Sepia was a great touch

Terry, Thanks. Larry is going crazy for the video stuff. I am going to stick to my D50.
Gappleg, Good shots fo th stucco. I will be anxious to see the photos when the city hall is complete.
It's been a while since I have contributed to a WPF.
Since I'm trying to get Project Steasel back on track and rolling...Here's a picture I snapped of the the current unit on the head of a short RoadRailer train.

Sue and Terry, thanks for your kind words. They are definitely reassuring after some dissapointment with my progress thus far. The trees are a product from Scenic Express called SuperTrees. I must extend my gratitude towards Guilford Guy with help on these, as tree making is certainly not my favorite part of the hobby. I'm working on another set of videos that will depict the actual operations on the Branch. Hopefully with some locomotive sounds taken from the prototype and/or music, and a more fluid presentation, the video will be much more enjoyable.
Gappleg, the stucco castings are looking great. I can't wait to see them when they are finished.
Scott, you know my affection for the Steasel.
Aggro, the weathered cars are always...hm, any positive adjective I use could be used in both the "eye grabbing" way and the "eye-gouging" way. What I mean is, they are so ugly that they are beautiful! I'm envious as always.
It's official; Larry and Sue are the Videomeisters!!!
Aggro, superb...but what else is new.
Scott, that Stiesel makes me smile every time I see it.
NYC S1b #6001 arrives at Seneca Falls late in the day with a reefer and four heavyweights.

Just wait until I can build the tender. Am awaiting the new chassis.
Aggro, You win the prize. The uncoupling trip pins are the only thing that says model. So realistic.
Crandell, Thanks. Larry is going crazy with youtube and the editing thing. He is working on a Hot Rod video as we speak. I hope that I can get him back to layout work. Oh, it was great to see you in the diner. Drop by any time. Your imput on the Mallets was great.

Reminds me of the Track Tug. Anybody remember that?

Sue,
I've been modeling steel mills and there equipment for more than four years.You have opened my eyes to the possibities of logging operations. I've always had a fond heart for shay locomotives,having seen only one in the smokey mountians.While vacationing in the smokey mountains in TN years ago. I ran across a three truck shay sitting in a field.
I'd like to visit Cass scenic railroad some day .Great modeling....keep up the good work.

I didn't know people sold stuff like that on E-Bay. I'll have to check that out!
Spent some time in the train room yesterday, wired a bunch of track, cleaned some track, and then I got the bug to break out some rolling stock and test out the facilities. I ended up playing with some trains a bit and took a few videos too! Now that I have a loop set up I can run some trains while I work on other areas, here is a short video of a Southern loco hauling some empty Top Gons. The video is not top quality and not sure where some of the popping sounds are coming from, but this Kodax Easy Share is all I got!

Crandell, Some how I missed this post yesterday. I love the activity at the station. Great shot.
Aggro, I checked out your gondola. Gorgeous.
Referring to our logs, they were cut out back. Not much work, nature made. I look for reasonably straight seedlings; harvest them; and let them dry. When we need more for the layout, I cut them to size. I used some of them on my log bridge.
Patrick, Shays are fun. After some NWSL parts, the little guy sure runs nice.
Here are some photos of my stockyard under construction.
SUE
That is outstanding,I have TWO of those old MDC SHAYS That I have worked over quit a bit,and just love them!!
JIM
Great pics (and vids) so far this week. Sue, I have to join the others and say I Love the video, I am looking forward to seeing more of your layout! Here are a few pics of my layout, hope you enjoy them.
There isn't much new except the ATSF caboose at the crossing, and the SF loco I weathered yesterday. (I am not the best at weathering but at least it doesn't look new). Mike
Nice pictures and video's everyone. I have been busy on my first year of the BAH RR summary instead of working on the layout. I have reworked my web site (click on the WWW button in the signature block). Here is a link to a "old" video of mine - enjoy.

Lots of great stuff here as always!
Sue, excellent video of the Shay!
Yoshi, glad to see you're still going strong in mrr - judging from your video you been quite busy!
(Crandel - I commented on your photo "across the street" )
Aggro - your work never ceases to amaze me!
Mike - I'll be converting an Atlas GP38 into a GP38-2 like yours for my next project
Scott - glad to see you continuing work on the Steasel!
Here's my contribution, a Kato SD38-2 I just painted into my namesake road's colors. Toughest part was relocating the headlight from the numberboards to the nose.

Jim, Did you put a NWSL regearing kit in yours? We also have a second one that is sitting on Larry's desk. We thought that we would get one running before tackling the second. The MDC with the NWSL regearing out pushes the Bachmann 3-truck Shay. I guess it is time to attack the second Shay.
Mike, It is great to see some finished scenes. Is that a horse and a tractor in the back of the last photo?
Alan, I always like to see your town scenery. Is that a Proto 2000 0-6-0?
Ken, That is a gorgeous model. Good reference photos, too.
