Running trains and some switching I like most.
Switching at Third Street Industrial District
You see my 25-ton at Third Street / Commerce Street setting out a car and picking up another car.
Enjoy it!

How about some new photos from me for once:
Here's my Conrail boxcar: C-liner at the head of a train (normally, my U23B would be heading this, but it is currently in pieces awaiting weathering powders):Enginehouse:looking from the back:Close-up of the train:Close-up on the C-Liner:Looking across the tracks:
I'll hopefully have some pics of the industries and town in progress sometime later this weekend, my dad isn't feeling well, and the only computer w/ an SD slot is in his room, so we'll see if I can get some pictures up or not. ENJOY!!!!

Wolfgang .......... The video of the little 4 wheel switcher in action was outstanding!
Sawyer,............ Nice wethering of the CR boxcar.
Jeff ... I like the station. The Pacer is really something.
Luke ... I like the logo

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
We are off to a good start! Wolfgang, a nice switchng video; the guy in the U-Haul is probably wondering if he will ever get to cross the tracks and get on to his destination.

The boxcar looks great, The Milwaukee Road freight also is a winner, your coming along nicely.
Grampy, as always, unbelievable modeling...

Whoa! GREAT water feature, also terrific photography...had an urge to grab my fishin' pole and perch myself on that rock on the left!

Thanks, those bragdon powders are amazing.
Ditto DJ, great modeling
Some photos from my new Missouri & Arkansas Railway.
Tomkat-13: The new layout is really coming along! I like the 2nd photo!
I've been working on a few old Railboxs. These were old Athearn (bluebox) Railboxs. I gave them a new paint job, and then came the rust. My decals are getting old/brittle. You might be able to see in the patch spots. I still need to add a few more things to then, but they will work for now. Now remember, these were once yellow, and RBOX.

Robby:
, all to the master of weathering.
Lots of nice modeling shown above. Thanks for posting, fellas.
A slight change of theme below.
The past several weeks I have been working on the area east of Bedford Falls. Here are a few pics.
An Erie branch crosses the NYB&W double track main with the interchange track to the left.
Just east of the Erie diamonds, the NYB&W divides. The nearer track has a 1.75% grade and is used primarily by downhill traffic. Uphill traffic takes the gentler 1.50% grade of the farther track.
Here are a few shots with the trains.
#852 leads the way freight over the Erie diamonds. It will swap cars with the Erie on the interchange track.
The NYC has trackage rights over the NYB&W from Buffalo to its West Shore line. Train 28, with mostly mail-and-express pulls out of Bedford Falls.
jecorbett -Nice! Love that first shot.
loathar jecorbett -Nice! Love that first shot.
Thank you, loathar. I wanted to swing the camera a little more down the line to the right to bring in some more scenic elements but that would have brought the unfinished portion of the layout into the background and ruined the shot. I figure it will take me about another month to do that next section. I haven't decide if I want to do that phase next or return to the west end of of Bedford Falls to do some finishing work there. Decisions, decisions.
Grampy never ceases to amaze me.

I've been working on Hyce Machinery, a backdrop structure in White River Junction, VT, on my HO scale White River Southern Railroad.
An overhead view. The disconnected track to the left of the frame is the remainder of their once-long spur, truncated when the track was realigned to go inside an addition to the original structure. (actually the tail track for the DDWH interchange on the other side of the backdrop) Only three dock doors are active, the ones closest the the right of the photo near where the spur joins the mainline.
That's the White River Jct. locomotive terminal in the foreground.

Looking great.
What is the car parked next to the 55 Chevy? Who made it?

I've been playing around with the airbrush... Here are the NH GP30's...
Alex
Nice GP30's! Speaking of which, here are a couple of photos of my own GP30 project. This used to be a Bachmann Spectrum (HO) Nickel Plate Road model that I got at a train show for like $5 (complete w/ chassis & motor - not shown in photo). I stripped the paint and added some detail parts. Sometime in the near future, it will be repainted and decaled as D&RGW 3016.
This week I've been busy making new handrails sets for it using Smokey Valley stanchions and 0.015" brass wire. I wanted the handrails to be somewhat sturdy, so I decided to SOLDER the brass wire to the stanchions (rather than use CA glue). Bending all the wire and soldering on all the stanchions was an extremely tedious and time consuming task - one of those you feel like giving up when you're 1/3 of the way into it, but then tell yourself "I've done this much so far, might as well keep on going and finish it." I think the time and hard work will pay off when it's all said and done.
I just put the handrails in place for the pictures. They will be painted separately and attached permanently once the shell is painted and decaled. Sorry about the poor quality of the photos. I didn't feel like re-staging for a re-shoot.

The big Montana sky is already giving way to the summer's morning sun as the Livingston-Bozeman Local moves closer to top of the Bozeman Pass with a small load of only two cars. Montana's Mountains get real green with wild grasses, it just too bad the Summer doesn't stay a lot longer before the cold sets in.
Just trying to shoot different angles of what I can work with. By Sunday I should have wires on my poles

Some stuff I have been working on so I can sell them. Times are rough so I need to part with some things to pay bills. Any way this is what I have been doing for the last few months.
A couple DT& I gp-9
Some snowplows in various states of readiness. X801 has seen better days while x813 and x928 have just come out of the paint shop ready to be sold.
This little guy was in sad shape when I found it at a garage sale this year. Cleaned him up weatherd him and oiled everything to run nice and smooth.
Great photos this week
alco's forever!!!!! Majoring in HO scale Minorig in O scale:)
I see many more great photos such as Larry’s DT&I and Zak’s Montana Rail Link. RS2 Mike added pictures of some neat DT&I geeps and some rotary plows while I type this note. .
My two pictures are of my prototypically correct diner-parlor cars. I use them on my “pike-sized” passenger trains which are representative of many that were operated by the CB&Q on secondary passenger trains.
One car is my heavyweight diner-parlor car that I built from an NKP Car Company kit.
The second car is a diner-parlor-observation car that I kit-bashed from a Walthers observation car. The prototype was one of four built by Budd Company prior to WWII for CB&Q. Its unique feature was its vestibule located in the center of the car. Parlor seating was at the rear, and dining was forward.

Both Models have interiors and Plano blinds. The Budd car is lighted.
Great work ya'll!
Well, just uploaded the pictures of my industry side of my layout, so here they are:
here's where the line to the main aiken yard (and the future ethanol plant) splits form the line to the industries:
Distributor mock-up (I'm not sure what they distribute yet, but I know it will involve boxcars) And yes, that's just a crude mock-up for now until I can get my DPM modular planing kit copied and such:
Plastic warplane factory mock-ups (plastic pellet hoppers or tank cars of paint will be spotted in the building w/ the paper over-hang, which will be made of pikestuff parts. The other building where the boxcars are will be a partial building that extend past the backdrop (there will be a small backdrop along this area):
Looking down the throat of two industries. To your left is the plastic warplane factory. to your right is where dean's Feed & Seed will go (have two pikestuff kits for that). It will recieve bulk feed, which will be stored in the silo, and bagged feed, which comes in boxcars:
Looking down main street. Too your left, there is where the fireworks factory will be 9have dPM's trackside transfer, my story is the factory took over the old co-op transfer building). You can see the shops to your left, and the garage at the end. The industries are vuisible over the buildings, which is on prupose:
And now a few shots of my favorite scene:
Enjoy! It's too cold for me to do anything in the attic, so I'll probably be building kits for a while.
