Long weekend, second entry!Managed to murder a decoder this weekend, but that's what they have warranty forms for, right? Fortunately, the standby I had in stock was available, so Ed, your BRW RS-1 is now tootling merrily around the West Sub...
As soon as I get the replacement decoder I'll get that Conrail SD40 on the road...Lee

Thanks Mark. That was one of my attempts at an "artsy" shot. (and BTW I ordered another crossing signal a few days ago, maybe photos for next WPF)
There are really some great shots this weekend, love your work Grampy's Trains, and that slag pit is cool!
It rained here so much over the holiday weekend that I actually got more time modelling than normal.
Here is the almost completed tower.
Complete with interior lighting made from a surface mount LED
It just needs a bit more weathering and then it can go on the layout. Perhaps next WPF will have a shot of it in place with surrounding scenery.

I've been working on the park that I slated for the lift out portion of the layout. Here's some photos of what I have done.
The picnic shelter with BBQ pit just beyond.
Playground for the crumb snatchers.
And here's the parks centerpiece, a cosmetically restored K4.

Good stuff, Simon! May I suggest including a potbelly stove inside; perhaps tapping into the chimney? I look forward to seeing it in context.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Not nearly as impressive as what you guys have up, but I managed to finally give the Woodland Scenics Forest Canopy kit a try.
and got this laser cut loading dock assembled.
so for me, it's progress, and thats a good thing!
I'm trying to model 1956, not live in it.
