Spaemouse; isn't the steamer missing something?

It wouldn't be the same picture without its fangs. I wanted the oldest, ugliest, meanest-looking loco ever pulled from its undergound hidey-hole.

Getting ideas for my layout and I love all your techniques.  Someday I will learn how to post pics of my vollamer hotel turned restraunt.

It's spelled "Vollmer..."  Ask me how I know !

I'm not directly related to Vollmer GmbH & Co KG, but I imagine back in Germany a few hundred years ago you'd find a link.

Anyway, I'd like to see that when you're done!

My favorite scene on my layout is here at Jack's Run, PA, on my N scale Pennsylvania Middle Division, circa July 1956:

Great work Dave, I love PRR's steam and stone arch bridges.

My layout is currently a pile of track, foam and lumber, not much to show for photos :)

Yeah, but think of how much potential you've got there!

Here's a couple I can share, this is one of my club's modules at a show we attended last year. This module represents the engine house and yard in Concord, NH.

Here's another from the same show, not one of my club's but I liked the depiction of downtown Boston and the Orange Line.

You had me going. I thought that was proto type. Very nice photo.

Thank you Hawk, I was hoping to achieve that effect!

CSX I love that scene as well.

Appreciate it Mike, thanx for starting this thread and giving me an excuse to share it!

. . .CSX_road_slug; I love that part of your layout too. I visited your site a while back, but can't remember where I saw the link. Could you post it?

Tyler, thanx for kind words.  I sent you a PM with the link, since I didn't want to hijack rs2mike's excellent thread

My favorite scene. Hmmmmm. Here's one I like. Favorite? No sure.

It's an eastbound train crossing the double track bridge over the Mrs. Hippy River.

One of my favorites.

Sunrise switching at Between with the Shepard and his flock.

 

Alan, where have you been hiding?  I use to enjoy your thread.

 

 

I see that you found my latest update on the layout forum.

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

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.

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

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

[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.

Bruce,

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

Waiting for orders

Nice SP AC-9!

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

[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!

Nice SP AC-9!

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.

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

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

[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.

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

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

[Rick Bradley]

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

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

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"!
