Renegade1c C&O Fan I was looking at picture and seemed to be weird to me. if you look there are six locomotives but only 5 cabs. its hard to tell but it looks as though three is a B unit (no cab) in this consist, however, it is hard to tell because of the telephoto lense distortion.The unit I think is a B unit looks like it is an EMD locomotive while all the rest are GE. if it is a b unit it is a rare siting these days because most have been removed from service.

Jimmy,
What method are you using to insert the photos into your posts?
Don Z.
Research; it's not just for geeks.
Got the structure and foam down for my new engine terminal:

Well, no Monon layout is complete without a BL2, isn't it? I'll have one at some point, when the hobby budget rises back above zero.

Thanks for the help. I had found those Links after my last post that you replied to. That does work for me, but to get it to work I have to click on View then downsize Text size to 125% then do it a second time to get to 100% text size and then I can click on those links. You see, due to my eyesight, to comfortably see the print, I have to increase the Text size to 150%. At that size increase, other Text on the page overlaps the links and I cannot click on them.
I did not have this problem with the old system, I just had to click on the PAGE BACK button once to get back to the thread list at the thread that I had just been reading. Now, if the thread that I am reading is at the bottom of page 5, and I want to go to the next thread, when I click on the Forum link it takes me back to the top of Page One again and all the threads have been refreshed and are no longer in the same sequence. Please note: I did not have this problem prior to the upgrade, and I DO NOT have the problem on any other Web Site that I frequent so I know that it is not my computers that are at fault. Also, to enlarge the pictures I have to click on the bar above the picture and it gives me a new page to open to see the picture and the thread page shrinks to an intermediate size. To see the enlarged picture I have to now click on it to open it. I then have to close the enlarged picture and click again to enlarge the thread page so I can read it.
In my opinion, this is definitely NOT an improvement.
Sorry for the rant Ladies and Gentlemen but I just drove back to town from this AM and I am a little tired. Please forgive me.

Jim, first thanks for taking the time to post the pictures. Litte surprised you don't have a BL2 by Proto. I have 4 of them and they pull great. 2 will drag 50 cars up my 1.5 grade with no problems. I am 90% sure you know what they look like, if not I be happy to post a picture of one.
Far as Carmel, yes I know what is going on there. Mon and Dad sold there house there last year. When I was 11 he paid $10,000.00 for it with 135 feet of river front. They sold it for $400,000 and some change.

Enjoying all the photos this week.
Just fiddlin' around this weekend, did a little painting on structures, autos, and rolling stock, getting ready to put the n-scale layout back together.
Hi all: Lots of great photos this week. Just got back from camping at World's End State Park. Here's my latest project, a model loosely based on my dune buggy.
It {having double photos show up} only happened the once...NATURALLY when I was trying to tell a sort of "joke" (of how hydrocal turned my nose into Karl Malden's)--so it really stepped on something that wasn't quite humourous enough to withstand cyber heckling.
I thought I'd enter, HERE, a shot I dubbed "Illusion Buster" (showing the "naked" diorama, perched on the back deck)......
cudaken Jim, I love Monon, it ran through my home town of Carmel Ind. Who made your F-3 (think it is a F-3)? I have 4 PK 1000 Monon, 4 PK 2000's BL2's and the BLI Heavy Mike I posted pictures of earlier. Do you have any other Monon engines you would care to share?

Ken, if you haven't been in Carmel lately, you won't recognize it. There's literally over a hundred million dollars' worth of construction going on there. Glad it's not my neck of the woods!
Here's my entire Monon component of the engine roster:
They're a P1K F3, Atlas U23b, Spectrum 2-10-0 (yeah, I know the prototype never owned any. So sue me) a Genesis 2-8-2 and a crummy IHC 2-8-0. This represents maybe 40% of the entire locomotive fleet.
It has happened to Uncle Roggie as well. Not sure, but we'll get Wade's team to figure it out.

Loathar,
Thanks for the photo of the prototype silos. I can't take all the credit for the silos, a good friend originally built them and I just had to do some reconstruction to put them back together. I also noticed a few wayward grains of ballast on the structure that I'll have to take care of next time. Thanks again for the photo, it will healp with some more weathering and I think I captured the feel of the prototype with my model.

Here's my sound test for my UP C44ACCTE and my SP (newly patched, tell me what you thought of it) set up with a DPU light.

The only thing I still need to do it get new handrails for the SP unit, also I'm thinking about investing in some rollers so I dont have to use my finger to hold it back for the rev-up noise.

Hawksridge Some very nice work everyone. I have been working on a new industry and finally have it ready. The industry is a plastics plant and I added to an existing structure that was donated to me. Built the new addition, added the siding, weathering and a few figures completed the scene. Tom

Crandell, again thank you for your kind words. Thanks to you and others like Tom and Art Hill and others I am growing in this hobby. All so Crandell congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been a week now with out having to drag out the BIG HOOK! You might want to start drug screening for your employees.
Far as Jeff pictures, I don't understand what is wrong with them. I all so don't care what other people think is wrong with them.
Lots of good stuff out there this week. I've been lurking about with nothing to add for a long time.
Here's a local crossing the yet-to-be-painted bridge over the double main line near Franklinton yard:

Don Z is right! Those pictures are horrific! They look like garbage almost comparable to Jeffs old camera he used to use and post tons of pictures of for some god awful reason. Time to go to LensCraftersn Packer

Packers,
Don't take this personally....if the photos that you posted look like they are in focus you need to ask your parents to take you to an eye doctor for an eye examination.
