Whoa, whoa, whoa. With all these great pictures and modelers what's this doing on page 2!!!!

 

Pushing 12 hours after the above post and still no more Pics? I have just got to give this thread a BUMP with a big "THANK YOU" to all of you who give inspiration to all modelers. Please, keep up the good work.

Some good looking shots.  I don't have anything this week.  I finally got called back to work, so this hobby is on the back burner.  Maybe touch the layout on the weekends.

Good work as usual everyone.

Grampy - great photo as usual.

Tom - Love the heavy steam. Great looking layout too.

loathar - I like your oldies.

Here are my contributions for the week. I finished up on my corner scene/rock cut this week.

I built painted, weathered and installed a 40' windmill made from the Walther's kit. Planted a few trees,
placed some Holsteins and made a stock tank from an old fuel oil tank I found in my junk box.

NYC E8 #4089 rounds the bend at the head of a short mail and express as mother and daughter look on.

Keep up the good work guys. This is always the best thread of the week.

Remember its your railroad

 Hmm - seems like a lot of good modelers are more concerned with discussing "the embarassment of being a mortal model railroader" than with posting layout pictures this weekend Big Smile

 My long weekend (which started on Wednesday afternoon last week) has come to an end. I love our nice long easter holiday (where Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday all are public holidays when hardly anyone works), but tomorrow is a normal work day again.

 Some pictures of the project I am still plugging away at - my little corner of the milling district in Minneapolis. Scene is far from done, but I figured I could show a couple of in-progress pictures.

 Overview of the scene, which is about 20" deep and 60" wide:

 

Left end of scene (white square shows where enclosed walkway between buildings will be added when rear building replaces black cardboard placeholder):

 

 

Right end of scene (white square shows where enclosed walkway between buildings will be added):

 

 Grin,
 Stein
