A easly modeled building, I'm guessing a grain facility:
It was Gondola Week here...I started with this more or less stock Micro Trains car, complete with high rise lift kits from the factory. The load is a rebar load I made using some stranded wire. I modified it by completely cutting the floor out of the MT shell, and lowering it over the frame to get a more proto ride height.I also weathered it with some acrylic washes. To replace the floor, I used some v-groove styrene sheet from Evergreen, and used acrylic craft paints to weather it to look like beat up old wood.I also lettered up this LBF car for my "home road" the Laurel Valley.It's weathered lightly with an airbrush, and I added Fox Valley wheelsets. This got a similar floor treatment to the N&W car above.Lee

alco's forever!!!!! Majoring in HO scale Minorig in O scale:)
Y'know, I've been doing this for 4 years now, give or take a bit. And over the last year or so, I've noticed a change in WPF. The pictures are just so much better. It's not just the quality of the photos, which is also up, but the quality of the modelling. Everyone has taken a step up. For me, WPF is setting the standard. I'm just not happy with work I would have been satisfied with a few years back. My hat is off to every one of you.
And now, the end of my layout. No, it's not going away, but when I started my scenery, I began in the "southwest" corner of the table. Slowly, I worked my way across, north and east, one scene at a time, until the pink foam gave way to woods and waterways. This weekend, I completed the final section, the corner at the "northeast" edge of the layout. It's the old Vollmer coal loading structure.
Yes, the building does work. I can load live coal loads from the 2 solenoid-activated chutes. And, that's a Mantua clamshell hopper, so when I take it all the way over to the other side, I can dump the coal through the trestle into a hidden box below the layout, and start the cycle again.
This shot came out "artistic."
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
Funny you should mention the camera sir... Took the camera and tripod out because I was bored. 142 clicks of the shutter and got two I was satisfied with.
Do you just get the feeling everyone is inside enjoying a nice meal?
And earlier in the day they were still trying to fix the darn truck, or maybe they were just using it as an excuse to look at the young lady walking by?
