In conjunction w/ weekend photo fun, I give you TRACKSIDE PHOTOS. Here, post either real train photos or model train photos. maybe a project you've completed in the week, or a new loco that you just HAVE to show us. I'd prefer if we could keep this on track, so please don't get sidetracked off of the primary goal, just talk about the photos or post some please. I'll start w/ an old one of my layout, before I added the extension.

Before this thing gets out of hand let's do an analysis of this title; Packers #1 the exact reason why you reasoned that this would be a good title is the exact reason why it is a bad title. The forum moderators are not likely to squash this title but it could become just a little confusing for someone who views it and perceives that it is referring to the Trackside Photos feature from the magazine. We need to come up with something a little more unique.

In that case, why not just re-title it "Your Trackside Photos"?

OK, sure thing. Could someone give me an idea for a better title, I got nothing.
Anyways, this will soon be my avatar on here:
Also added a boxcar over at the Aiken Locomotive Works. Really, I only weathered that side even remotely well and the thing would not roll well at all.
Packer#1-Your pics are looking better the last couple weeks.
Here's an old one.
Thanks loathar. I've gotten my desklamp fixed up, so now I've got a source of light, and I took these photos in the daylight, and the one window in my room is a skylight, so I guess I just got lucky w/ that, lol. I've also been playing around w/ the white balance, and today I tried changing the exposure time or shutter time or whatever, and the white balance. I guess I'm just getting better, lol. Do you have any more pics of your layout, I've been wondering what it looks like?
When you click 'REPLY' look at the top of the yellow area where the previous reply is quoted. You'll see three tabs. The last tab says 'PREVIEW'.
Packer#1-Check your PM. I sent you a link to my Photobucket page.
Well, since there is an option for favorite locomotives, I'll bite. This is my current favorite, which is NOT a Yellowstone--but of course it's an Articulated. It's a PFM Rio Grande L-131 I picked up from Caboose Hobbies consignment in Denver last year. I think it dates from about 1965 or so (the box says it's a non-existant L-125) so it's an older run. But it's a sweet runner, and can pull the paint off of the walls.
Dang, these photos sure turn out BIG!

Nice Rio Grande Tom.

Thanks loathar. Hey tom, nice articulate :P
My favorite loco is either the GP30 or the GP9.
Packer#1, the thread is a good idea no matter what it is called.
Here is an old photo from my website.
A switcher, freight and passenger train on the BRVRR layout.

Thanks Jeffery. Fat fingers. Its working now.
Love those NYC cab units Allan! Nice layout as well.
Well this is one of my most advertised photos I have. But I might as well post it here. I'll probably do another winter scene one the snow starts falling up here Wisconsin.
Here is another photo that I tried to make look like an old slide that some one took in black and white. Sadly the caboose is out of focus.

Selector-I want your switcher! What brand of passenger car is that? Looks really short.
Here's one taken in my yard.
OK, here are a couple of my favorites:
Grampy, from my yard to yours!
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
Hmmm so this takes the place of WPF or does it change weekly like WPF?
Well here's a favorite picture of mine. My Davenport Rock Island & Northwestern SW1200 that I personally painted and lettered for the railroad. The DRILINE decal was professionally re-produced in Adobe Photoshop and then printed and applied to the loco.
loathar, it is a Walthers Proto 2000 SW8 w/QSI. The car is a Harriman type, and I think it was Model Power...not sure any more. I think it is in the 60' range (measures 8.5", plus couplers).

This is actually meant to just be a thread that functions like the diner or teen model railroad place. I imagine it'd be smart to start a new thread every 10-20 pages, because of the amount of photos that'll be here. WPF still happens every week, but if you do something during the week, post it here and in WPF.
GREAT WORK EVERYONE!
Love the yards. Crandell-nice little train. Switcher looks like a sweet little honey.
As Election Day looms, the campaigning heats up on the n-scale layout.
The little people show up to listen, but find the candidate a little "stiff".
PASMITHIt appears that under the new format you cannot preview before you post. Previewing was one of my favorite features. Peter smith, Memphis
Previewing is no problem but unless someone can advise me to the contrary all you can do is "Preview and Post" If you want to Preview and Edit" you have to first "Preview and Post" and then "Edit". I was advised on Thursday that what you need to do is Preview and Compose" but all that does is hangs my Explorer and sends me down the "reboot" path!!! Which, of course, causes me to loose everything.
