Around these here parts, Turkey Day is not the main holiday this weekend. No it's not Black Friday either. Anyway, the Lilliputians know what I'm talking about.

Chip,
Happy Hunting!
...and for all the rest...Happy Thanksgiving!
Got a photo to add, here's farmer plowing the field next to the double main line as seen on the "Sipping and Switching" modular layout on display at the 23rd Annual Neuse River Valley Model Railroad Club Train Show.

What PB&J said. But maybe later today (depending on my camera's battery life) I might be able to get a few pictures of the progress.
And to every one, Happy Thanksgiving.

GREAT photo Silver Spike! That curving mainline and the field really appeals to me!
How did you do the field?
I was lucky enough to get some clean prototype power pics of these beauties!Sure look better than the old CR B-23 units that used to service the local line.
Deer season...GREAT! Now I have to worry about getting shot in my own backyard.
I really like that farm scene too. Very nice work!

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
Whoa, Sliver spike, didn't see that photo when I posted. Nice work, I like it allot.
Loather, always nice to Railfan.
MAbruce, looks very good.
Well here is my contribution to WPF.
My Diorama is coming along nicely. I have mostly gotten the base scenery, and now I'm ready to add brush and weeds in the ditches. I will also start adding some trees.
Over at the right side of the diorama I added an old RR spur and a shed
Here's the Trackside veiw.
Shot just outside my office earlier this week...
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Maybe after several football games and some pumpkin pie I'll get to spend some time on the layout and snap some photos to share here.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving, all!
I'm thankful that the Black River & Western is finally restoring their Consolidation. She's a pretty hefty example of her breed. The crew talked to me in the cab for at least a half hour, and I think they would have let me stay the whole day. I took these photos in September, right after the Tracks Ahead film crew had been there.
So that's how they create the draft - box fans!

I remember going there a few months ago. My dad and I were walking around looking at the rolling stock and one of the crew asked us if we wanted to see the engine they were restoring. My mouth dropped when I saw it. One of the crew explained to us what the chalk lines meant, and answered all the questions we had. Needless to say it was a really cool experience.
I found this and a brick building on Ben and Jerry's website. I can't say I'm impressed with the result, it is a little small, but it looks better than the photo. I was planning to use paper models as place holders while I investigated the structures, so I'll use it for temporary.
While the above took upwards of 4 hours, the one below, was already colored, if cartoony, and took only about 25 minutes.
Happy Thanksgiving all-great shots as usual My track plan is almost done then I can start to build. Here are a few of my favorite pics.Bob
Railphotog, you're pulling our legs! That has to be real!!!!!

What a cool concept for a module.

Nice nice layout pics. Guys, don't you just love those N-scale layouts. They are just so cute!
Lothar and Lee, love the train pics, Nelson, nice stuff as well.
It's getting there WC.
Cox, there's something sacreligious about that concept.
Bob, your cheating somehow, I can't put my finger on it. No one is that good.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to ALL!!!!
Some heating oil for the winter arrives in a pair of MKT tank cars.
Still replacing some old track ties on the team track.

No cheating:
Trying out a recent lens, a Tamron 11-18mm on my newest camera, Canon Digital Rebel Xti. Seems to work pretty good!

Yes, I always use my infrared remote, set for 2 seconds. The shutter remained open for 1.6 seconds at f/22, ISO 100 in my enginine house interior shot.

Tomkat-13,
If I ever had to go into a dark alley, I'd want that guy carrying that tie by himself for backup.

Thanks. They look interesting, but what I meant is that I want to find old photos and replicate the buildings as close as I can.
Although the Canadian Thanksgiving has already come and gone, this railroad employee is doing his part to celebrate the US Thanksgiving:
