well I have not been able to do any modeling recently because I am moving to Texas and everything is boxed up. I did however go ride trains in Australia for the past few weeks. I rode the Overland, The Ghan and the Indian Pacific. Below are some of the pictures. The Indian Pacific and the Ghan were both 27 cars long.

In last week's WPF there were some photos on Jordan vehicles with a request for additional postings. We were away for a couple of days and WPF was locked when I got backhttp://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/t/153963.aspx?PageIndex=4
Here are photos of my Jordan vehicles.
Muscongus School is taking a field trip to Greenvale Junction in their 1934 Ford bus. The Essex is described below.
The US Army recruiter drives a 1940 Ford sedan. It still looks good, but is due for replacement. The Hudson in front is an Alloy Forms kit.
The old family 1926 Essex has been restored.

Robby, that boxcar is looking good.
Garry, the scene looks good. Couldn't the local frieght go around the passenger train on the other track, or is it one of those arrangments where all traffic heading one way can only be on one track?
Gramps, looks good but where are the trains???
Simon, so that's what distracted engineers before cellphones.
My C30-7 finally arrived.I'd put a video up of it's sound, but the camera doesn't have enough batteries for that. So I'll have to stop buying trains and get some batteries.

Wants: 1. high-quality, sound equipped, SD40-2s, C636s, C30-7s, and F-units in BN. As for ones that don't cost an arm and a leg, that's out of the question....
2. An end to the limited-production and other crap that makes models harder to get and more expensive.
Hornblower.............My fence is made from stuff used for weddings "Vail". I got a yard of it for like $3.00. That will last a loooong time. I just used some old/thin metal for the fence posts. It might not look the best but it works for me.
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Robby,
I have a project that will require a bit of straight chain link fencing and was considering using the Walthers kit.
Is that the Walthers chain link fencing material in the foreground of your pictures?
Was the material packaged in a roll or did it curl up later on (or is the damaged fencing look intentional)?
Do you think a few horizontal pipes would help straighten it out?

Nice work Simon. Make sure the engineer of the next train keeps his eyes on the track ahead. No peaking in windows allowed for him.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
We have had a couple of unseemly characters visiting the layout for the month
they have been enjoying all the delights that the town has to offer while living out of their mobile accomodations
Spotted neatly by the ice-cream store allows them to visit the delights of the upper floor
Word got back East to their home, resulting in a quick stop at the florist to arrange for delivery later in the week.

Nice work on that boxcar, Robby!
Nice junction scene, Garry!
A view down the main drag.
Robby......... Thanks for starting Weekend Photo Fun....... The weathering of your box car makes it look real.
My photo below shows the junction in Prairie View. A local passenger train is arriving on the main line as a local freight train holds on the branch line.
Well I will start this week I guess.
Its a boxcar I weathered up. I added a custom load, and a good fade job.
