There are so many good pictures to comment on, but I have to grab a few.
Graffen, I definately love the third pic, B/W does Shays good. Im guessing that it's the model. What is that cute little coach in the second pic, ahead of the Southern steamer?
Milw-Rodr Thank you. I played with that angle for a little while, I have a few others of that set on my Photobucket. It was actually kindof a a whim angle, that I loved and tried to improve. I love the In Your Face angle they present. In hindsight, there are a couple of things that I wanted to change (Aren't there always). One is that corner where the wall curves back, which is actually the reason I put it in the brown tones, to dull it down. In color, it;'s kinda annoying.
Shayfan: I love the bus. And your right about the third pick. Family is woderful things in hobbies
CSX: The mill looks awesome.
Grampy's: I love he worktrain. The picture is great too, but I love that worktrain
Others: If I didn't comment here, I've probably commented before. But keep up the good work

That's nice snow. How did you do that?

Thanks!! It is simply WS "snow" and sprinkled as heavily and as thinly as I could get away with and still make it look like it was snow. It comes in the same shake-the-bottle plastic bottles that ground foam and some ballast does. Clear plastic, red cap with one or two lift-tabs for sprinkling or inserting a small scoop or tablespoon.
Nice pics everybody!
Here's a couple of favorites.

Running steam too.

That is absolutely awesome. "Folks around here say that every once in a while a phantom locomotive will pass by! If you wave, you can almost hear the whistle."

That's a lot of puff'n just to pull a piker...

I had a hard time trying to figure out if this was real or a model, and that rarely happens in any scale. When it does, you know you got it right.

Just be glad you don't have to press "2" for English.

Great stuff everyone. Wabash GP switching Columbia, Mo.
Thank you Mike. I've posted my three so how about sending me a PM with an email and I'll share a few others that way.

Thanks, I really like it too but it drives me nuts that the guys in the lead engine are ducking for the photo. Those punks! I am very happy with the photo but the scenery wasn't complete and the tracks needed to be weathered. I'm hoping to get a better camera, finish the scene, and take some shots that I can enter into the photo contest for MR this year.
joem are you modelling the Columbia branch?? I always thought that was a neat line.
">The FP45s are blue box units I painted and detailed way before Athearn brought out their Genesis version (I think color TV had just been commercialized). Then about 19998 the good folks at the Mayflower moving company in Philadelphia lot them along with SD45s and F45. I had painted and detailed all of them.
The SDP45 is a blue box kit-bash that was painted and detailed using an FP45 powered frame. I have now stripped the paint to refinish as an SP bloody nose. Any ideas on what to use for the rear end if I were to make a new version based on the new Athearn RTR with scale width long hood?

Some very nice photos in this post. Here is one of my favorites from my layout that unfortunately does not exist anymore. :-(
This is my Atlas (former Conrail) NS "patch" Dash 8. I did the custom detail and weathering work myself. My Kato SD90/43MAC is trailing on this coal train. I also weathered the SD myself.

Kevin,
What do you mean the layout is gone. Man, I loved seeing your work and last I saw the layout it looked good. Still it's good to see you posting on here again. I still like the work you do on your fleet. Keep the work going and keep the photos coming.
A beauty! Was a star filter used over the camera lens?
