Jeffrey, I too want to see you keep posting your work! Yeh, the photos look like they were taken with a $10 camera. That camera is desribed as a Keychain Camera and is not meant to make "World Class, Contest Winning, high res" photos. However it is much better in close up shots than your old one is. From them I can get a sense of your work on your layout, which is what this thread is supposed to be about. BTW, your modeling is excellent by anyones standards. Factor in the disabilities and handicaps that you have to live with, your work is incredible!
I would hate to see this forum (or any other that I go to) limited to those of us that can afford to buy professional EOS cameras and spend thousands every year on the hobby. I have been fortunate to be blessed with steady hands, mobility, good eyesite, and controlled diabetes. I also am retired and live on a decent retirement income. Jeffrey's work is every bit as good as mine! Jeffrey, friend, keep on having fun, post our work, and ignore the total ignorance of those who don't know you and the difficulties you live with.

Yoshi,
If you get the chance to take and photos ad measurements of a couple of New England style covered bridges, I'd like to have a couple of different ones... My plan, though I am illustrating my project book with storebought kits, I plan to use all scratchbuilt or kitbashed stuff on my layout... In some cases that is easy, but in others it will be a near impossibility- or worse all overed bridges would be the same, or all houses would be 1S/fr box ranches....

C&O Fan,
That's actually Penneburgh, Briarwood, and Jameson... PB&J is classic and my kids inspired it... I do a bit of writing, well more than a bit, aside from model railroading its the thing I love to do most...
One day we were driving around taking train photos and I was calling out the initials of the various rolling stock and my 7 year old was repeating it, and the other one chimed up UP. BNSF, PB&J... it stuck, pun intended.
Jeffrey keep right on posting, the WPF would not be the same without you. THe last pictures you have taken have been very crisp and clear.
PB&J do you want covered bridges from Maine? It would be kind of neat to start a thread on unique historical bridges. We have a wire suspension bridge here in Kingfield that is on the historical register and over near Sunday river ski area is a covered bridge that is unique.

Well here's my contribution to the thread:
A pair of CNW GP50s hustle a hopper train through town.
Keep on posting Jeff!

I hope this won't be taken as an indelicate post, but I think it would be a pleasant thing to move over to the Atlas forum if you have the time and see some of the contributions to their Sunday Photo thread. Wow!
I only say this because I frequent about three other forums regularly, and some of the images from week to week are really first class. I'd personally not want to miss them, and you may feel the same.
Sorry for the intrusion.

I took a break from working on the Layout and actually ran some trains
Every once in a while i get out some of my old DC locos and give them a spin
So today i let the Cat out of the box
Here's a pair of Uboats and a GP-9 waiting to use the main at Thurmond

JBinkley60, I want to know where you got that guardrail too. I've been looking for something like that for a while. CNW, nice view of the trains through town. Did CNW stop using theos crossing bell things on the short hood or haven't you stuck them on yet?
Crandell, I frequent several forums also and the Atlas picture posts are generally really good. I enjoy seeing just about any kind of picture, from layouts under construction to the super detailed layouts from guys who are also great photographers. I'm glad there are several forums to visit because each one tends to give me a different perspective than the other.Actually, my wife doesn't understand why I bother taking photos at all. I just pat her on the head and say "Honey, you just don't understand model railroading".
Now, for something a little different, here's the old LV&T depot in Rhyolite, Nevada. It's been on my list of scratchbuild projects for years.
Good job everyone!
I personally love to see Jeff's pictures of his layout. I like to see all of his different motive power and that old rusted 0-6-0.
Some comments on the Hyacinth macaw as my avatar, alas, it is not mine. It's the cougar mountain zoo's Hyacinth. I have a cockatiel.
The issue, He keeps posting and posting and posting. Some of you who feel so sorry for poor little jefferey why dont you all chip in $10 or so and buy him a new digital camera? C'mon do it for him. Stop blowing smoke up his butt by saying his pictures are great and he needs to post more garbage post. He obsessively posts too much is the big issue. Thats why he has 5000+ and I only have 8. I am not pointing out I am better than him but his forum habit is annoying. You dont need to reply to every post and you certainly do not need to reply to every other reply on Weekend Photo fun. If there are 10 replies from different people well Jeff replies 10 times plus with quotes of his photos so we see it over and over and over,. How many times can you reply to a photo sharing topic? You post ALL your photos at once then reply two or three times. Not rules but common sense.
"NOOOO I love your pictures keep positing them'
"WPF wpuld not be the same without you post em"
"Your photos are great Jeff"
"Your work is really great"
Now you know damn well they are all lies except the WPF will not be the same. It will then be less pages and more different pictures

Yes it's one and the same
I also sent a night at the Bankers Club after having the best steak in my life in the
bank lobby dining room i went up to my room and opened the window stuck my head out
and got a big whiff of diesel fumes form a passing coal drag for dessert
That made up my mind to model the area

Abusive post noted and reported. I suggest the rest of us do the same.

You AREN'T going to change our thoughts on Jeffrey's talent. We all think it's good. I would love to see pictures of your plywood central. Who cares about his camera, not everyone can afford top of the line gear. BTW- put the pictures in photoshop, clear them up, then admire them there. I think your just jealous.

Here is my first contribution to the WPF.
Here is what I've been working on this weekend. Not even close to Great Model Railroads material, but I don't much care - because it is my project, and the project is moving the right way
Have a nice weekend, people !
Smile, Stein

I have a honest question: Does NS run some of their trains with a single engine? I ask because I have never been where the NS runs and it seems like I have seen a bunch of you NS modelers do that. Please clue me in.
Or at least teach good manners.
