This is my new N&W 611 by BLI (HO) and a pond I have been working on.
Modeling the N&W freelanced at the height of their steam era in HO.

Here's one from the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry
I would have loved to get a closer shot of the trains in that section, but all the closer shots don't really give any sense of scale for the buildings or surrounding scenery.
This one was taken from the floor above, I think this shot encompasses roughly 1/8 to 1/6 or so of the layout.

Here's my favorite. October of 1951 on my narrow gauge J&RG (On30). New Mexico high country. Hope this works (and it isn't too large) ... first time I've tried to post a photo.
Jag 193,
Is that a Heyoka climbing the ladder on the roof?
Very nice, very nice!

Red Horse,
Those are Koshari (sacred clowns), early in the day, preparing for the festival of San Geronimo.
By, the way, we own a farm in Conway ... perhaps we can arrange a visit some time ...

jag193 , That would be nice to meet another MRR fan in my area.
You can email me direct at redhorse2@adelphia.net and for anyone else who would like to email me for what ever reason please feel free to copy down my Email address.
Let me know where your Farm is jag193. (I'm going to guess on West side Rd.?, thats where most are).

Jag,
Looks great. How do you do the adobe?
Phil, I'm not a rocket scientist; they are my students.
Phil,
It may sound strange but I make the adobe structures (there are about a dozen on my layout) out of relatively thick sheets of balsa (3/8"). I cut the walls, then window and door openings, and use white glue to create the basic box. Then I use a very slow Dremel and various sanding attachements to "round" the casements, the edges, etc. I have a specially concocted latex (I'm happy to give out the formula) that I paint the walls with and then I literally blow a very fine powder (from Arizona Rock and Gravel) into the wet latex to give it texture.
I've thought about writing an article and I have had a couple of editors bug me about it but I never have gotten around to it. In my profession, I write several articles or book chapters a year ... so getting myself to do it when it's "hobby time" is tough.
Mike, you said that was an N gauge stock yard pic, the one with the farmer shootinh the bull. Is the stock yard a kit or did you make the fence. I need a really good stock yard for my layout.
Thanks, Steve

Jim,
Thanks. I never would have guessed. It's pretty convincing.
I understand about the writing thing - I'm a training specialist. I spend my days explaining and illustrating. Writing an article would seem like my job.
Your scene looks very realistic. Great trees, too; and the little oven is sweet.
OK, I have a new favorite scene, it isn't grand but it does help me get my mind off the snow around here!
So your all invited to my BBQ!
I can smell them Ball Park franks Now....uuummmmm!!!
I like it ... what do you use for the granite slabs. We have them all over the farm in Center Conway.

hey All,
Some awsome photos good work to everyone. Hope my layout looks that good at some point. Here are a couple of my layout I like so far (keep in mind I have lots of work to do yet)
here's a couple more of my favorite scenes

Hi To all my Mrring Brothers here!
I wanted to update my favorite scene, I used the army box car from the old destroyed layout and created a Island home complete with a moat.
After the plan came the chemical digging out of the moat (Brush cleaner).
The finished project
bump....Any logging operations that want to show off some scenery?
Logging operations aren't very big on the J&RG right now, but here's a picture of the local logging camp. We are still waiting the arrival of a good and weathered Shay to increase activity.
