Nice pics everyone. I wish I could do even half as well. My layout is barely into the track on plywood stage.

Ugh... All these cats!  Ahhh CHOOO!

Here's some work from earlier this week, except the Wagontop, which was a year or more ago, but I finally got around to taking it's picture formally!

I worked on some weathering projects.  Not much time to do more than splash around some dirty water!

Well, folks, I have done some tracklaying, but I'm posting photos I took in Augusta of the NS business train. I also took some pictures of some CSX locos, but CSX got pi*sed off and called the cops.

Well, anyway, here are a few:

More great shots.  This has been a fun weekend.

Lou,  Yes, the naked cowboys are up stream from the stockyard. Once my next batch of vegetation is in and the trestle, it will be a strain to see them.

Tom,  I must be making my trees denser than most of you because I am at 35, with some of them being very small.  If I continue with moderate size I probably won't get 50.  Love your Yuba Canyon shots.

Crandell,  Tell your friend that Larry and I loved his weathered businesses.  The service station,  Wow.  Did you take that photo at sunset? Yesterday would have been great weather for that.

A couple of weeks ago my wife and I visited the roundhouse at Evanston, Wyoming.  I pieced together a panorama for you all (they are restoring it and they plan to have the turntable operating by August):

I barely got to look at my layout this week - weather is warming up.  Most of my modeling time will be consumed by yard work for the next few months, but I'll keep looking in on the forums and I'll participate when I have something to contribute.

Here's a second shot of my new Conrail class N20 cabin in service on my layout:

 

There's a slight coupler height difference, unfortunately, with the PRR X26C rebuild it's trailing.

Ohh No!!!! He's going Conrail crazy!!!!!

Nah! Dave's just working towards a Section 8 so he can stop all that moving around the world and get to work on his dream layout.

Kidding Dave. Just kidding. Whistling [:-^]

Edit. Deleted the Pic. Thanks for the reminder Crandell.

Ken,

That's some excellent work on that covered hopper.

Lee,

You must have some Chessie pics, or is it sitting on the rip track...... Very nice B&O box car.

The time frame on my layout is 1968-72.  No cats on the layout.  However, when railfanning back in the '80's in and around Baltimore, they were hard to avoid, try as one might...
