And now..... For my contribution to this weeks great array of Fantastic Fotos!

I have been finishing up the Bandstand project and finally have the old girl in place permanently (OK, so it can be removed if I want to make it a centerpiece for an entry at an NMRA Division Meet....)  Bushes have been newly trimmed and the August flowers are in bloom.  She is just waiting for the band to show up for the next concert (On order as I write).

Hi, Bill.  I firmly believe that everyone is trying to do their best.  If we just encourage it, everyone's photos, when they eventually appear, will get better.  Thanks for supporting the ethos that we try to establish here and elsewhere on this forum.  It works for so many of us.

I am new to the forum and have a ton to learn about the hobby.  I have enjoyed the weekend photos (under any thread name), and hope this one stays clean.  All the recent foul language (and veterans sniping at each other in various threads) has really turned me off.  I considered quitting the forum. 

But I'm mostly past the emotion - these forums are a great opportunity for us to enjoy the hobby, share and learn.  Count me in to help fix the problems, rather than contributing to them or runnig away.

I hope to be in a position to contribute photos in a few months.  In the meantime, I'll keep asking questions and do my best to be a positive contributor.

Here's a beat up old lady of the rails that will soon be heading to the paint shop.

Bruce,

That's some great N scaling!  Hey, what kind of track are you using?  Almost looks like ballasted Unitrack...  am I right?  Good job!

Thanks - and nope, that's good o' Atlas code 80.

And you missed my ‘homage to PRR' in my shots - the cylindrical hopper.  Wink [;)]

Niiiiiiiiiiice...!

I don't care how clear the photo is if there's a Pennsy loco in the shot!

Excellent scenery, Crandell!

While we are analyzing photography elsewhere, I thought I would re-establish our claim to this thread.  I hope I don't usurp anybody else's interest in doing so this weekend...if so, sorry.
