Well, its not exactly a photo and it not exactly model railroading. But it is what I did this week and it has to do with trains!

Dan,
That gondola looks terrific! Very nice job on that!
Dan, did you base your weathering on pictures you took or were able to find on the Internet? Or, did you just "play with it" till got something that you liked? Again, very, very, nice.

It's a Ricko 1931 Lincoln Model K. And, as you can see by the first picture, it comes with it's own display case. It will be the cleanest and "perttiest" automobile on my layout.
Price? Just a little more than the Sylvan van kit on the other side of the pump in Pic #3. And this one comes RTR.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Looking good out there. Some good shots all around.
Milwhiawatha- No I don't have an SDL39. I heard that Kaslo was making one but I would like to wait for the price to drop or if I can find it at a train show for a cheaper price. Right now, $400 is a little more than what I want to spend on a plastic kit. But I do think it is a nice locomotive, not to get you wrong or anything.
twomule- I can certainly get some more pics for you tomorrow. I also have a Milwaukee steeple cab that I could have switching the yard. But I will see what I can do.
Jeffrey- I'd say the ballasting came out quite well. Your pictures are very good. You have put a lot of work into that layout. Keep up the good work.
Happy railroading
James
Tried my hand at weathering today. Might not be as good as some of you pros out there... but it's a start...
This was (well, still is) some LL junker that came out of a trainset from wayyy back when I was like 8. So, worth about... $3... don't want to ruin the paint on one of my more expensive cars just yet...

Looks like everyone is having lots of fun this weekend! Along with work I managed to make it over to the TN state fair where our club has the modual layout setup and operating. This is my SP rolling stock and locomotives. I'm the lone Espee modeler in the organization.
Great photos everyone
More photos please, especially your MIL motive power all lined up ready to go, ready to attack the Bitteroots!
I'm jealous........
Jeff, good job, seems like that camera got you motivated !!!!
I got more ballasting done. Right now it's still wet. I'll post a few more pics later when it's dry.

CMSTPP, Do you have an SDL39 for your layout? I finally got mine from Kaslo shops its a lot of work but I think it will look great...
Odds & Ends!
Excellent weather this weekend
Started back into the modeling now that the weather has started to get ugly. Here is a pic of an engine I just almost finished up. Still needs headlights and some other details.
Engine is an Athearn SW1500 painted in the South Buffalo year 2000 scheme.

Looking good guys. especially Jeffrey. Your pics are very nice looking. Good job on the rust.
Here are my pics.
First off are these two Northern Pacific RS11s. They are both O scale. I am working on the one that's apart. (obviously) My dad bought this one off Ebay and someone had dropped. So far it seems to be going back together pretty easily. Both are Overland models.
I have also been decaling these two O scale models. The locomotive is an NW2 painted in the NPs black and yellow scheme. The other is a baggage car painted in NPs lowey scheme.
Now, onward to HO scale. I have taken all of my Milwaukee models and I am going to go ahead and detail/ scratch build parts to make them just like the prototypes. (The Brass models won't get the detailing, since they already have that.)
Here are the other locos.
Enjoy!
The first picture is a rare shot of a BNSF sandwiched between two NS big horses. The second is a shot of the following train, a piggy back.

Greetings From Fresno, CA! Here's a shot of Herndon Salvage on my N Scale SP Fresno District. Junk is made from foil from candy wrappers.
A flaming post that I can get away with - ha ha
Jack,
That just might be the coolest bridge I've ever seen! Can you tell us more about it --- like where it comes from?
Now, Perry, you know the rules. No flaming posts, right?
Here's another shot of the brewery. I've got it installed now, with its siding in place. The car is from Greenway Products. (It's an Athearn BB, but they do the paint jobs for a lot of beers.)
