Yep...pretty slow around here!
I don't think I've posted this shot before...
Train WJCD passes Kimball Scrap in Enfield, behind GP18 #9423.
Sweet shot Tyler!
Well, I worked my tail off today and got the yard completely soldered, next I'll mark holes for feeders, remove the track, drill the holes, paint the layout foam for a scenery base, then put the track back on, and wire it up. Then on to the town.Some shots of the yard:Overview:yard ladder:Servicing:Pic:Main and yard lead:Overview of front of yard:Future furniture factory:Rear of yard:And two vids describing the operation:part 1:http://www.youtube.com/user/sbpackernut#play/all/uploads-all/1/sQynzyDF_AQpart 2:http://www.youtube.com/user/sbpackernut#play/all/uploads-all/0/j6JqFUCuvkUEnjoy!

More Business for me...
Jordan, I got your GP40, and already spent all my money on the concert last night! I did get to meet the guitarist from Marcy Playground, and got his autograph(yeahhhh wozzzzzz), then got a CD signed by 2 the guitarists fromt he opening band, and ended up chatting with them, and the radio station people, while drinking free iced tea. Happy Days!
More Trainly, I now have 4 Guilford locos on my workbench to ditchlightize.
Alex
Well, redesigned my town switching area, though looks like I didn't post about the orginal design. oh well, video and two pics:

Here's my new loco...finally got around to taking a photo of it. I need to mill the weight to fit a decoder, install that, then have Alex paint and detail the unit. I'll wait until I find, purchase, and receive the other GP18 I need to complete my roster first, however.
It will look just like 9423 when it's finished, and keep the number 902.
---------------------------------------
Also, I took a photo of the shop crew posing on GP7 #8569.
All of these photos are on the updated WRS website, which has several new pages, and now has photos for almost every unit on the roster page. Check it out at the White River Southern Railroad website!
Tyler, you're killing me with that beautiful L&N unit man! But hey, I understand with the WRS paint scheme man.
Sweet pic of the GP7 as well!
Well, spent my evening wiring up some feeders, connected one pair to the power pack, and the train ran all the way around the layout!Pics and vid.first, vid link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbDg2kjjJCcThe feeders:Roster shot:The GP9 (shell was received from a member of another site):The test train:
How often are you spacing your feeders? I have mine 6 feet apart, and reliability is very good. More joints per X length with N scale track though, I bet... Plus on a 4x8, you can get away with having frequent feeders because the layout is relatively small.
While we're posting roster shots, here's mine!
From front left to rear right, WRS locomotives: GP18 #9423, GP7 #8569, SDP35 #1402 (retired), GP9m #1701 (retired), U23B #2306 (retired), GP30 #2752, L&N GP18 #902 (to become WRS 902), and CSX U23B #3243 (retired).
Individual photos of each unit are available on the WRS website if anyone wants to see a unit in more detail.
Sawyer, cool that you got the layout up an running. Seems that your moving really quickly on that
Tyler, why are you parting the red sea (bad joke) for two new GP18s? Is there just no need for all that power? And I really like the new website!
I haven't done anything MRR related in a while cause I've been so busy with everything. Frankly, sophomore sucks, because of all the work. Right now, my english teacher is being a female dog about our research paper, and it seems that my homework is multiplied by 1000. Ugh, life...
New England shortlines don't use 1 U23B, 1 SDP35, 1 GP30, 1 GP9m, 1 GP7, and 1 GP18. A roster of 1 GP7 and 3 GP18s is much more prototypical, and similar to the Boston & Maine, whose paint scheme I am copying almost exactly except that I swapped their blue for WRS red and use a totally different lettering and logo design on the sides.
All that mismatched power is now surplus. Thanks for the kind words on the website!
Wow, that is a lot!...
In the past 16 days I've had 3 chem quizzes and one test, one lab, and another I'm working on, Band homework several times, a two page paper and several other large homework assignments for Theology, tons of stuff for Driver's Ed, three papers for English (and we're working on a 5 page research paper now), a test and a buttload of other stuff for Algebra, a two page paper, a huge packet (that took probably somwhere about 6 hours, spanning 1 week), and other various stuff for US History, a 1/2 page essay, and tons of other stuff for Spainsh.And over the summer, I had to read Uncle Tom's Cabin (about 450 pages) for History, The Grapes of Wrath (also about 450 pgs) and The Bridge of San Luis Rey (about 100 pages) for English, and a 297- problem packet for Algebra, which took me all summer.Next year, once I get more electives, I'll probably take the easier classes (which I am required to take but don't fit in my schedule now), since I'll already have some of the required classes.
I hate school...
Ha! You posted at the same time as me and buried my post on the previous page! I'm not ignoring your question...go back a page.
Eh, that's true.
And we're just good enough to post at the same time. We're too cool to post at different times!
It is really time to start a new thread guys. Waaayyy into October it is!
