Simon: Did I see the Mallard? !!! Nice photos.

You sure did, as well as the Flying Scotsman.  I like running my Brits on the US rails.  Good to see the Q represented so well on the photo forum this week!

Terryin Texas ... I like your #200 and the passenger shelter!

Thanks It just a little Bachman I picked up on Ebay for $30

but i added a Sound Decoder to it and electrical pick ups on the tender wheels so it runs pretty good now

This week, my projects included a model of Colorado & Southern 700D. C&S was owned by CB&Q, and their equipment was painted and letter accordingly. 700D was an ordinary F7-A when built. It was involved in a head-on collision in 1958. Next, it was rebuilt at EMD, and became a F9-Am which was internally an F7-A and externally an F9-A.

I scanned a page from The Colorado Road by F. Hol. Wagner with photos of 700D. In the center photo, you can see it was broken into numerous pieces. The E7-A in the collision was not rebuilt.

The next photo shows my model of 700D which I made from a Stewart F9-A. This picture is before weathering.

The final photo shows 700D at work with some of my CB&Q F units.

A line of cars all stacked up behind a school bus.

It's a Jordan.  I'm slowly working my way through my inventory of unbuilt kits, at about 1 a week.  Trouble is, it takes less time to buy another one than to build it.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

Great weathering job, looks really convincing.

Here is a hopper way out of its normal area of travel!
