stokesda,

Love the ex-MILW station.  Looks like a cathedral dedicated to the Great God of the Flanged Wheel.Whistling [:-^]

Here's a couple of overall shots of my layout.  The only area not shown is a soewhat mountainous area which I'm not really satisfied with.

Not exactly model railroading, but a few railfanning pics I took this past week on our week-long road trip to Glacier NP and through Montana...

The first is a brand-new, shiny BNSF ES44DC in the yard at Shelby, MT:

I thought this next one was a pretty neat shot - Heritage I, II, and III, but not necessarily in that order Smile [:)]. SD40-2, ES44DC, and Dash-9 - pretty maids all in a row Smile [:)]:

Jim, nice photos.  I like the use of the kitchen cabinets underneath the layout.  Good clean storage space.

Matt, good work on the interiors.

I know this was also posted in the other WPF, but this is probably a better place to have it.

I worked on my Santa Fe Hi-Level interiors this weekend. One coach now has seatbacks, just two more to go Ashamed [*^_^*]:

I also did a lot of work on the new diner interior, essentially using the figures and details I used in the custom interior (seen above in the middle of the photo) I made a few years ago.  I know it's wasteful to have a new interior, but I prefer this prototypical one a lot more:

I use Mozilla Firefox, but I'm also on a Mac. Hopefully Mozilla did not change the software drastically for the different OS's.

Let's define what you are trying to do. Are you trying to post a URL link to the video, or are you trying to embed the video?  

Jim, I really like your first pic. If you don't mind a suggestion, painting the rails would really improve the realism. While easier to do before scenicking, with some crafty masking it should still be possible.

Glenn, even with just the image, the sweeping S curve is really very attractive.

WPF shot down in a ball of flames - let's start over
Posted by mononguy63 on Sunday, September 2, 2007 10:35 PM

Okay, so this is two weeks in a row that WPF has been hijacked. So for those of us just looking for fun model railroad photos, how about starting over. I'll re-post some of my limited inventory to start off

Here's a couple of out-takes from the "aerial layout photos" thread:

So let's get back to the "fun" part!
