Weekend Photo Fun 6-5/6-8

[Oakhurst Railroad Engineer]

A 2-6-0 hauls a short passenger train past Yosemite Forks on the Oakhurst Railroad.

New for this week ... For the 2-6-0, a little weathering and neo lube on the drivers ... and the Southern Pacific Lines Harriman passenger cars are a recent purchase from E-Bay.

This is a great start to WPF!  My compliments to everyone who has posted so far...very nice work!  I love Chuck's whimsical approach to his layout building experience.

Here is my recycling of an older image, this time in B&W.

Good start to the weekend already folks!

Grampy......... WOW!  Another great photo of your superb modeling!

I have some new out buildings for the guests at Miller's Bed and Breakfast at Hopewell Junction.  You can also see the afternoon milk train passing behind the place on a hot August afternoon on the S.L.O.&W..

Don't pay no never mind to that guy using the "facility", that's just James the Handyman.  He's a farm boy and doesn't see any reason to shut the door....  He figures if he needs his sinuses cleared out, he can go muck out the pen stabling on the farm.  Frankly if it weren't for the crowd enjoyin' the concert in the park across the street, he'd most likely be waterin' the tree.  He's been talked to about his "habits" by the good Rev. Miller on several occasions, but he ain't about to change!

RS3 No.8856 has the local this evening.

I don't think I posted the newest update last week... I know I posted about the project, but I don't think I had track laid yet.

This is the town of West Canaan, New Hampshire. I removed the backdrop to allow the mainline to access the future lift bridge to the staging yard easier. The track had to be totally redone as well.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

The full-size train is on the staging yard track, while the centerbeam flatcar and pulpwood gondola are on the Delery Pulpwood & Lumber Co. spur. That lone gondola to the left is at a small scrap transload center. The curving track in the foreground is the continuous run connection, since the staging yard is stub ended.

 

Looking good Tyler. For a teenager you've got more skills and talent than some of us 20 year veterans

Good start to WPF Jeffery, nice patch jobs there. This week i have some progress pics on the new layout, got the 2 main lines installed and have the track layed out for the upper level,

And thanks to the resealing they did on the road/driveway the layout now has that authentic creasote/tar smell to it!

Building a new layout=costly

getting authentic stink=priceless!
