Wow...I came on to post in Weekend Picture Fun, as it's been awhile since I've done so, and it's not up yet, so I guess I'll start it off (a first).
I was running trains waiting on the turkey yesterday....Here's a couple of shots of my Mike pulling a string of old time coaches up to the station on my in progress city scene on the patio layout:

Here's a couple of photo's from my train club's layout. This is probably one of the best modeled area's on the clubs layout. It depicts the John Deere Works in Moline.
Those are some OUTSTANDING buildings, Frank!
-----------------------------------------
Here's the project that has had operating sessions on hold...fascia panels with bill boxes, throttle ports, and the switch for my only reversing circuit. I have four of these, one for each town: Lebanon, Mascoma, Enfield (pictured), and West Canaan - all prototype towns in New Hampshire. I would have built a full fascia for only $20-ish more, but time was an issue. I can always add a fascia later if I feel it is needed. All it does is look pretty - and for me and my small operating crew, we can live without it...
The industry labels from left to right are LeBlanc Scrap, E&R Rail Interchange, Enfield Transfer, and Agrawal Paper. That shiny stuff is aluminum tape (really sticky stuff!) serving as a dam while the "water" in Enfield Bog dries.

Hello Great work everyone.My radiator shop is just about done a few more odds&ends and it should be good. I got it set in place but it needs a fence and some trees.
have a great weekend Frank
here's an update video from me. I'll hopefully have pictures up soon. I think I need some sculptamold to even out the plaster roads though, but I already painted the lot, so that'll require more painting.

I love the roof of the radiator shop. How did you build it?
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Great start to WPF! Love the John Deere facility. Very well done!
Here's another shot with a digital backdrop added:
Great work posted by everyone!
I psoted the vid link, but here's some pictures:
Tyler, remind me to stick uncoupling picks in your foam next time I'm over! I'll bring a few thousand and make a fortress out of your layout.

Time for a little Penn Central lovin'...
I weathered my new N scale ESM Flexi-Flo hopper with a combination of washes and pastel chalks with lots of Dullcote. Also added ACI labels:
I also was inspired to tackle a foobie MTL PC 50' gon. I wanted to warm up before I tried weathering my new ESM 65' PC class G26 mill gon. I added a COTS and ACI label per standard practice. This was a combination of acrylic washes and pastel chalks again.
Just for giggles and grins I also tried to do a subtle fade on an old MDC Railbox car using pale yellow washes and pale yellow chalks. I think it may be too subtle, but sometimes that's good.

Jeff W, I don't know if you are getting better at modeling or with the different camera it just look better, bet either way your stuff is looking very good!
David B, on fading have you ever tried sanding with a fine sandpaper something around 300 to 600 grit? After a dull coat you should not be able to see the sand scratches.

WOW!!! I'd be proud of that too. I love the way the complex has been kitbashed to create the feeling of several annexes having been added over time.

I agree, that's a great large building complex; lots of details and interesting things going on. The covered stairway on the rear building - is that scratchbuilt or a kit?

Nice covered stairs and concrete on the ground at the base of those buildings..with the railings. Looks very realistic.
Grampy, beautiful image. Tack sharp...I wish I could get them sharp that way.

Just completed my Flats project....let me know what you think.

I just received a new camera as a combination birthday/Christmas gift (did I mention that I really love my wife?). Went out and did some railfanning while discovering the bold new world of "depth of field."
Hey, Ma, lookie at the view from out here!

Packers#1 - looks like your prior video wasn't very well received. Hopefully you'll take the replies to heart and see that there are better ways of doing what your trying to accomplish. If you learn from the criticism then it is completely negative. Both videos are pretty shakey. Anyway of getting rid of the shakes and saving us from motion sickness?
Driline's club's building looks good. It has that large size that some many industries on a layout lack. Too many times in trying to fit as many industries/buildings on a layout as possible we end up making the industries too small. It would take one of these small industries a long time to fill up a 40' boxcar let alone the fact that the boxcar usually dwarfs the building.
