Packers #1,
Are you using an undecorated engine and adding a yellow stripe? How are you keeping the stripe so straight on such a small engine?
All right, well, the GP30 was an undecorated model, the GP9 was a bay colony that I had previously painted like this:
What I did was take some neutral gray and painted both locos in that (one coat for the GP30,m several for the GP9) and then got some painters tape and masked it, then painted the yellow stripe. Had to do some touch-up. The paint scheme is not complete (decals), but imagine SEC in yellow letters with the numbers in white under the cab. I also have an F7 that went through the same thing as the GP9, but it will pretty much be a display model (at best).

So..... Do..... I..... Actually, the one I want was a different picture, with an AC-4/5/6 one of those in it as well. That would be two cab forwards to your one.

It's kinda hard not to when you managed to repaint all the windows on an engine. Anyway, this is what I did today.
An overview,. the cars on the right have been there for a week. I was trying to buzz the roof off of Athearn undecs to make a dome Observation. All it did was melt into string chese. But this is what I'm working with.
Shelf vuiew of the RBBX flatcars. Some need assembly, but I think they're ready for the Seargent couplers when they rerelease and decals.
This is a Walthers caboose on a mushroom can. The can is whart I used for my testors paints before I picked up a spraycan. This will become our Church caboose. on the bottom tyou'll notice the cross stovepipe with the piece of sprue on top. It's gold. I'm going to put stained glass in the windows made on comp. The BL2 with the window problems is next door to the mushroom can. I'm gonna try to pry the window out and soak them in thinner tomorrow.
My turntable. Mom got it at Walmart. I can paint of top, pick cars up with toothpicks or wait till it dries some, then move it to the bottom shelf to continue drying and paint above it again. And the paint hood is a cardboard box.
Not as much fun as running trains, but this has been fun day.

Wolfgang, I watched a couple of the videos on your website and must congradulate you on such a fine job, on the videos and on the layout. I noticed, while watching your switch engine work, that you had 'no hands' uncoupling. Do you use track magnets? It looked like it worked very well!

Thanks for the complement, Tom - I'm very jealous of your memories! The Coast Line in the mid-50s sums it all up, as far as I'm concerned.

Brian--
That AC double-heading the GS with the reefer train is just a BEAUTIFUL photo! Oboy, does that bring back fond memories of watching Espee action on the Coast Line back in the late 'forties, early 'fifties. Excellent work!
Mike - Intermountain have indeed announced that they will be releasing an N Scale Cab-Forward - check their website.
I love the light nights at this time of year.
Thanks everyone for the positive comments! I have always liked having trains run under my bed, but this is a temporary thing while i build my benchwork. Here is another shot of a different intermodal with UP and NS power also under the bed!

I have to say Out of all the Steam locos I've seen this one tops the list at the most unique. I love it. It looks so cool. I am modeling more modern of course but should I ever change to steam I will defantly have to try and track one of these down.

Thanks You sir! I bookmarked it.
I've been building up my reefer train and it presently stands at 41 cars - here are two pictures of it running this afternoon on the club layout, behind my IM AC12 and Bachmann GS4, both equipped with Tsunami sound decoders:

The throw bar is from PROTO:87. The target is movable, of course.
Wolfgang, that target is something I have been looking long and hard for and haven't found. Obviously it exists....! Can you give me more info on it, like part number. manufacturer, etc...
Thanks!
I've finished a few turnouts at the fourth segment of Diamond Valley. This is a turnout at the scrap yard.

Tom, I just love the look of an articulated rounding a curve. Even if it's prototypically too tight a curve, (is it? I dunno.) the shot shows up the engine's unique capabilities so nicely.
Thanks. The curves are 34" and 36" radius on my layout, so there's not that much overhang, though I have to be careful taking the inside radius on a couple of my passing tracks if I'm running around a train of 50' automobile cars, LOL! But those old Akane articulateds can take a 24" radius with no problem--however the overhang is something ELSE!
Probably, for an articulated the size of my Yellowstones, a more prototypical curve would be a 48" or so radius, but I don't have that much room in the garage
PS: Love the hotel. Are those--er, ah--'hourly' rates, LOL?
