I've been doing some work on the park scene and also did some ballasting on the back side of the layout.

Where'd you come from? I open the page and poof! there's another post. Love the ramp BTW.
Just a joke shot from me so far. But some clientel is planning out their blueprint when the railroad gets to them. Nothing abnormal here...

Your park is getting better all the time, Jeff.
Woflgang, I knew you'd turn that ramp into something greater. Nice job!
Flash, it's a cozy nook you have there.
Below, a Norfolk & Western Mallet takes the siding.
Great work every one!
Grampy, I love the SD45 leading.
Here's an Updated photo of my locomotive roster.
From Left to Right:
Athearn SW1500 1551, in superdetailing process.
Atlas Master SD35 2500, needs a few details.
Atlas Master GP40 3005, needs a few details.
Proto 2000 SD45 Ex ATSF 5547, needs a new number and a few more details.
Kato SD40 6001, needs to be "canadainized".
Proto 2000 SD45 6505, needs a few details.
Proto 2000 SD45 6588, needs to be renumbered.
Proto 2000 SD45 6588, needs a few more details.

WCFAN,
In as much as all we ever seem to see from you are locomotive pictures, (And don't get me wrong they are very nice locomotive pictures.) Two questions:
Do you actually have a layout?
Do you actually own any rolling stock?
I only ask because I have a friend from way back who collected HO locomotives and nothing else. The only layout I ever knew him to have was a circle of track on a plywood board, and I never actually saw him run anythin on it!
I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
Great work here so far. Love the shots, grampys. Great work, wolfgang and Jeff. Awesome mallet, selector. Those are some mean lookin' looks, WCfan. Very interesting, flashwave.

Good stuff already!
Crandall...... I like the N&W loco. Feel free to tell more about it.
Grampy ........ Nice action shots!
Wolfgang ... great scenes.
Jeff ...... that fence looks just right.
WCfan .... impressive fleet
Flashwave.... glad to see you have some good right-of-way.

That looks like a great room for a layout. I wish I had that much space when I was growing up. We had no basement or attic. I got stuck building my first ever N-scale layout in my bedroom I had to share with my brother
Do you get the whole attic to yourself?

During the 4 months when it's cool enough to make it up the stairs, yep. Though it is a lot of surface to fill for a first time layout. Hopefully Dad will be there for a long time

Just slap a window air conditioner in there and your'e ready to go! I'm sure Jeffery's got an extra one laying around LOL.
You must be from the south. 4 months is a short time.
Shucks, that's right. I can't work for more than 15 minutes or so w/o breaking a sweat. Now you see why I have almost no layout now. I've walked away from what I was planning for the Indiana Southern:
Nice start to the weekend folks, there are some great pics up already.
I have been trying to get my camera down to ground level to see what impact that has on images of the models.
Here is a shot at the yard. My objective was to give the impression of being trackside in the evening.
Here was a similar attempt with a basic box car.

Nope, Indiana. So it could be anny season at any given time. And yes, it is a short time to do the work in. We've got one, and I have a track plan for going over it, problem is that the room just collects the rising heat, the roof draws it, and cooling the room proves to frequently be difficult.
Grampy: Ye, the Pennsy March turned out very well. great lighting
Selector: gee that pic looks familiar...
Granddaughter and cousins showed up and ran trains for the first time. They got one on the trestle and 2 on the bridge and thought that was cool.
Ah, that's a funny moment. I love atlas products. I have three atlas locos, and you might call them gems if you didn't look close enough to see they're locos. I'm guessing those turboes won't be n scale. Oh well, I got no need/room for one, but it'd still be cool to have. Here's the indiana Southern's paint scheme:
Great pics guys. I finally finished my Campbell coaling tower kit, after 9 weeks, and placed it on the layout. I'll have to look at it a while and then landscpe it.
Great shots, everyone.
Haven't been able to work on the layout this week--the smoke here in the Sacramento Valley from all the fires out here in SunnyCal is too bad to go outside.
Thought I'd post an older pic, but it's one of my favorites. 4-8-2 #1527 has just turned its train of PFE's over to 2-8-8-4 #3911 for the trip over the Sierra. Yellowstones #3903 and #3910 are on the sanding track, awaiting their own eastbound trains. Gonna be a busy day in the mountains.
We're supposed to get some breezes this weekend to clear out the smoke, so maybe I can get back out and work on the Buttes. Hope so--I've got a BAD case of Cabin Fever

Your house has a cold? In that heat?
I can't wait to be able to put up pictures of large locomotives hauling Reefer trains.
Hi,
Here is a dual guage turnout I built earlier this week as part of a display I am working on...
This is one of 8 that was made for a display to be shown at the 2008 NMRA Train Show next month in Anaheim.
I have a few more shots of it on my site below. I will add some of the other pieces to the blog shortly.

And if you sneeze before you set those, you'll end up with rail everywhere.
I like that, for not likely to be able to build one. Is there somehing like that for sale?
Just finished painting my RSD4 to go with the RS3 I posted a while back, I also kit bashed my first loco, an RS3 with RS11 long hood but have had a couple of technical difficulties with the long hood so will post it latter.
Finally back from overseas - no time to do anything new on the layout but at least took a few new pics. Nice work here as always - thanks everyone for sharing. The first pic has a digital sky added. Cheers.
