 Steamage do you have any links or details about the SP AC-9 in HO scale? I was pretty sure I was done looking for (spell check need badly for this next word) Art tick a lated engines excpet a Challanger but that is one great looking engine! Looks like a stream lined Big Boy. Boy I hope someone made in plactic last thing I need to do is get hooked on brass!

I don't have much about these AC9's in HO, but the prototypes were transfered from the EP&SW to SP's Modoc line in 1953. Richard Hughes, a retired railroader tells that they were really an easy engine to run, just don't try to do a lot of switching with them. Winter time they were used as helpers because you couldn't see much in front because of all the condensate coming off the boiler jacket when wet. They were converted to oil from coal at the time they arrived on the Modoc.

Chuck,

Should I assume Tower #3 is nearby?

Don Z.

 You guys need to stop posting PIC!!!!!!!! I am running out of hard drive spaces!

 Few from K-10 Trains

 

 

 Hard to just pick one and I still left some out.

I guess my favorites of the Seneca Lake, Ontario, & Western would be these two.

Very nice scene, JK, I like the way you managed to get the over dock lights just right.  It's seldom you see that in models, usually they're overpowering to the surrounding scene.

Once again, very nice.

Here's a favorite of mine.  Working the third shift under a full moon.

  So far, this one is my favorite. Flatonia Texas highway 90 crossing...chuck

very nice scene, i have a double track bridge, did you use the chooch bridge tie sections?

Rick, thanks for the kind words.

The two truss bridges are from Kato. 

I bashed them by removing the snap track and replacing it with Micro Engineering bridge and trestle track.  I also cut the bridge shoes from the huge block of plastic they mold for the bridge abutments. 

I've seen the Chooch tie sections, but I don't know if they make them in N scale.

Jon, FANTASTIC!  Love all the details!  The bent fence ends, the "a" falling off the sign, the people are spactacular, the billboard, the streetlights, the curb, all very well done!  Even the lighting is "just right"!

[jon grant]

i really like this thread, so i would like to put it back up top so people can be reminded to put more on. :)

Okay, a new scene which I'm quite pleased with, and not a loco in sight.

My newest favorite scene.  Turbine #6 with it's new helper, SD24 #424.

[jalajoie]

This my favorite scene because I made that mountain in the back scene.

The front blue building is awaiting roof details presently at the paint shop.

Most of what you see is either scratch built or kit bashed.

The scene is on our club's permanent layout

Nice! Where you been hiding that at? Love the mountain!

rs2mike-Love that Bear Creek layout. Charlie Comstock does great work.

Thanks for the comments, I will post more photos of this scene in the next WPF

[rs2mike]

yes he does.  I have a bunch of downloaded pics from his layout that I now use as wallpaper on our home computer.  If my lack of talent could only bring forth the ideas I have recieved from all you guys i would have a kick butt layout.

Nice SP AC-9!

Had to look at Espeerailfan.net to figure out what it was.

Its an old Akane model made in the early 1960s. Its on the layout for photos for a friend in our club that owns it, he use to run the prototypes on SP's, Modoc line. The model has just been repaired and painted by a brass engine doctor and runs so well now.

[Wisconsin Railfan]

Test 2 to see if I really got it.  This one came from a tree maker used on the bear creek layout.

I though it was suppose to be pictures of a model railroad not real life pictures

Excellant work!

Bruce,

The left side of that picture illustrates that even the prototype uses snap track

[jecorbett]

So far, this is one of my favorites:

The weather has turned cold which means model railroading activities will begin anew. Golf season is just about over. I hope to have more soon. I just got a brilliant scenic idea for a problem corner of the layout and can't wait to implement it. Stay tuned.

In some ways it reminds me of the ex B&M depot in Littleton, MA. If you look at the depot from across the grade which is almost identical to this, the scene is very similar, including the siding breaking off to the right which would be the siding going into the Veryfine Juice plant. Add a couple of ex B&M 40' box cars and an old caboose to the far side of the depot and you could almost complete the scene. Of course this station is now a repair shop for wood burning stoves so it has the associated parts, etc sitting outside.

Like this?

Yes, that's the exact photo I was looking at as I typed the previous post.

I'm rather fond of it myself, a very good shot. Nice work.
