Woot, some one ACTUALLY posted progress!
Looks great, I hope to have some of my shots up. I think I might actually drag my big diorama out.

Put this in Weekend Photo Fun already, but I'll bump here, too. I finally got around to painting some of my figures, since I kinda need conductors to keep the railroad running.
Your repaints look nice! The scenery is also nice too. I like how the tracks are like with the ground. Makes me feel like it's on old Branch line. Freight Station? What freight station?

Does he have a web site at all?
Tommrow I might do a photo shoot. I bought 2 new TOFC cars with trailers. But first I need to get my GP40 back in Operation. Broke the All Weather Window Off.
I had 6 generations of EJ&E power running today, with SD38-2 665 in the J-Ball scheme, 668 in the Bicentennial scheme, a SD9, a RS3, a SW1200 in the brown paint, and a NW2 in the green over orange scheme together. I've got quite a extensive EJ&E collection, I'm sure everyone is shocked about that! Now I need to get my hands on a Baldwin in the black paint and if these ever come out, a Centercan and a chevron SD38-2. I've even got a custom built chop nosed SD18, EJ&E 852, one of the now retired former B&LE engines.
Believe me, I'm interested in creating my own website, I was a admin for CTRG and USRG before that site went downhill pretty quickly, I'd do it all again if I could! I'd also like to open up a photo gallery showcasing photos throughout the midwest, where anyone could upload them, both real and model! That's my ultimate goal for around here.
lol, I know, I was just ponderjoking....
So...what hase every one else been up to? Sawyer, I've seen some of your work on WPF, you should post some here, it looks pretty nice.
No! Websites eat up too much time! Trust me, I do it for our club, and it isn't even that great. It takes a ton of time. www.wimrc.ca
Alcos, I can just smell them...lol.
Humm, Route of the Pack doesn't sound to bad....
Ok LAST and FINAL map. If it isn't you can blame it on Robby. But now we picked up the old IC line to Munger, and the old IC yard just a tad east of Hawthorne, Crawford. So We have the old IC Iowa Line form Munger-Crawford. We also picked up the old GTW From Eldson Yard-Blue Island. So Now I don't need trackage Rights over the IHB, just over the BNSF. Now I will go and mess my self in with Sub Division Names and Train Names/Destinations.
I should really make a web site for this RR so I can keep track of everything! lol.
Hummm, I'll have to think about them. Or maybe WIN doesn't need a slogan, lol, WC never had a slogan.
Nice, GBW was all Alco too, untill they merged with the FRV and then got bought out by the WC. Now most of the GBW Alcos are on shortlines. It's sad to see short lines like that go down the hole. Sounds like is was a nice RR though at one time. It's also nice to see one is being restored.

"Haulin' Frieght in America's Dairyland".
"Route of the Pack"
"We'll WIN you over"
That's all I got.
Here I have a revised WIN map.
After talking to Robby over at TRP, he said that the old IC Hawthore Yard will also be cut back because of CN. So he suggested that WIN could pick up that trackage, and get Trackage rights over the IHB all the way down to Blue Island. He said that this would open up alot more business. Transfers to CPs Bensenville yard from the WINs Schiller Park and Hawthore Yard, and to Blue Island. He also said I could add another yard or maybe trackage rights to another yard, but I couldn't find that, yet. When I do I'll have 2 Seperate Maps, a Chicago Area Detail, and a Wisconsin Map.
BTW: I'll say this again, if anyone would like to come up with a slogan for the WIN, please do so. I was thinking of this one. "Route to the Packer Land" lol.
Nothing wrong with making it totally freelanced. I think it's just fun to make your own railroad with your own power and paint scheme.
Humm, I'll think about it. It's late and my judgement gets kind of jumbled lated at night...lol.
So, what did you think of my bad ideas??
I personally like "Connections to the Chesseheads"
I'm sure that's in someway offensive. Hey, without Google, I wouldn't have known you were famous for cheese.
All my freelanced tracks are fake, they never existed.
Hello. What you been up to?
