Well,
It's that time of year again. I'm starting preparations for train show season, specify the local show September 12th and 13th. That means 30+ locomotives, 100+ cars, and various transformers and track (our club uses EZ-track on our display, most of which I own or maintain) need to be cleaned or inspected prior to the show. This week the locomotive fleet started rolling into the service terminal for their wheel cleaning/ dusting/ oiling, too fast. Causing this backup of idling U33's on the mainline, which are waiting for their turn to get into the yard:
It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!,

Wow, some of the work this week is just unbelievable.... Very inspiring... I've been sanding and contouring scenery and putzing with my city and industrial district...
Peter, I would like very much to see your diorama with the camera low and imaging a couple of sideshots...if that is possible? Also, if you wouldn't mind my mentioning it, it looks to me like the camera might need to be adjusted for the lights or colour balance. I would love to see your weathered wood in the proper tone.

As Terry has said, it looks like darned good work. It fairly begs to be drooled over.
I have a few questions.... but first here's why:
I have the JV Models Boyd Logging kit, it will be my first Craftsman kit.... So I admit I'm a tad intimidated to open the box and find what I would call raw materials...LOL. I mean I've built a lot of plastic models, but this isn't something to put together while watching football...
Questions:
1. what did you use to stain the wood?
2. what is the best way to proceed when doing one's first Craftsman kit? it seems to me that I could just lay a copy of the pattern on the laser cut balsa and cut through both...
3. Obviously there's more than just building it, how do you know when and how much scenic and super detail is too much?
Your work looks great...

Your modeling rocks, I've been saving your pics to use a reference when I scenic mine, it is exaclty what I'm shootng for AND looks exactly like the area I model. Big Blackfoot River area NE of Missoula MT and the Wolf Praire area on the BNSF mainline in the Flathead tunnel area.in Montana. Nice work.

Jim that was a fun trip
Have you ever thought of putting the camera car first and pushing it around so we could get an unobstructed view ?
Cool video Jim, made me feel like I was really on the train.

C&O FanHave you ever thought of putting the camera car first and pushing it around so we could get an unobstructed view ?
That could be arranged later today
Though, trust me, the more obstructed the view, the better the layout looks!

Oh i thought you were showing us your collection of mason jars,paint cans and used light bulbs
Just kidding looks like a nice layout just needs some housekeeping
Jim, I thought the video was great! I really enjoyed the perspective of riding behind the engine and the sound of the whistle was absolutely beautiful! Was that a recording or a sound chip?

Just thought I would contribute a picture of my "road power" - two Athearn MP15ACs. I wanted one to look like a "new" acquistion from the 2nd hand locomotive market (the UP unit) and the other to look like it had been repainted, but has been working so hard it hasn't had time for a "bath". I still need to do some weathering on the running gear on both engines and I need to remember where I hid the hand rails and radiator screens from #32!
Enjoy!

A little progress this week on my projects...
Intermodal/team track site. Sub base in place all around, just need to place the sheet styrene for the concrete surface (still working on the paint/finish for that)
GP30 project - to be D&RGW #3016. This weekend I painted the yellow/gold trim around the side sill, pilots, and numberboards. Next phase will be to mask off the trim areas and paint the rest of the shell engine black.

Amazing, Karl, as always. I hope to see more images as you move along with this fine effort.
I am still in awe over your achievement replicating the Kinsol Trestle shown in your signature images. Wow!
Karl,
Greta trestle. Kit or scratch?
Still Sunday..... So I guess I'll show you what I have been doing yesterday and today.
I made a lantern complete with working light to put on a crate by the freight house. Seems that the night watchman forgot about it and left it going... Man is he going to get a chewing out!
Here is what it looks like at night:
A view from a different angle:
I also assembled and painted another Jordan Models Ford Model T Van. This one is new though, 1925 model. The proud owner, Mr Thompson, brought his wife and kids down to the park for the concert in it:

Nice trees, Terry! (Though I think the rake is a bit out of scale...)
I'm going to double up this week. Poor quality, cool pic, using a very small pocket cam that can get in places others can't.
saronaterry Nice shots, guys! Built a bunch more trees today. Can you spot the real one? Terry
Terry, these trees look great. Can you tell us how you made them (or is there a post already about it)? Enquiring minds want to know!
