Great pictures, guys.  The shots that follow were taken with a pinhole lens camera, so the focus is terrible; but, they show they layout from a railfan's perspective rather than a bird's eye view.

I recently started a new scratch build project. The prototype is a south buffalo railway 65 ton Whitcomb centercab engine. Here is a picture of it after it went to the Everett railroad.

The cab structure is ready to have doors scribed.

The hood sides with doors scribed and vents cut open.

 

Still a long way to go on this one.

I love the Swift plant.  I've got an old cardboard Suydam one that I'm refurbishing. 

I'm actually up skiing this weekend, so I'll pull up one I took a couple of weeks back.  I promised myself I wouldn't put this picture up before December:

Here is my first post to this thread. I was going thru some old stuff I had and decided to put a couple of structures together to make one structure,it is a Swift Meat processing company. I took photos outside.

RRCanuck, those are fantasic. I really like the color variation you have in your buildings and the detail is really good too Thumbs Up [tup]

I am just starting on my "town" ... as it is.  I only have 1-3/4" of depth above the stone wall, so mine will never have a fully dimensional look.  I am playing with photo images for the back.

 

Regards,

Tom

I have a fairly large downtown area on the layout that I don't think I've shown before.  I find it difficult to photograph because it's so much longer than it is high.  Anyway, I've done some judicious cropping - hope these pics aren't too long and skinny.

And a night shot thrown in for good measure.

Cheers.

This threads moving slow this weekend.

Someone decided to take the old Caddy out for a weekend spin. Here it sits dead on the roadside.

I'd sat that you are doing marvellously!  It's a nice theme you have, and this fits in rather nicely, the whole diorama.  Turned out well, too. Cool [8D]

Here is another hurried image, but it's all there is from me.

Have fun, everyone.

If no one else is going to start it , here goes.

This is my Downtown Deco coin laundry being built. first shot is the shell , second shot is the interior because it will be lite. Third shot is a test setting on the layout to  see about placement.
