 Great shots, Jarrell and Driline!

You know that it's not nice to fool people with these shots of REAL locations and imply that they are pics of your own MRR Empire. L&LOL's. But really, I don't know which is better, your modeling skills or your expertise with the camera to make your models look so realistic. Thumbs UpThumbs Up

Thanks to you and all the other guys and gals for all the inspiration that give us all every weekend. Keep up the good work and please, don't stop posting those pics.

Wow - what a start to the weekend! That's one of the best photos I've seen from you yet, Grampy!

Pulled from 8mm tapes, this video chases the short-lived State of New Hampshire RDC commuter rail service between White River Junction, VT, and Concord, NH, in 1984. The WRS had just turned 1 year old, and the train we're chasing will meet a local pulled by S4 #45, the first locomotive owned by the WRS.

I've also been working on writing a New Dispatching Program for the WRS...my blog has a screenshot from this early version of the program.

Found a kit for this P&LE coil car that has been "lost" in that dark hole I call a basement so I thought I'd better build it before I lose it again. Tongue

Work progressing slowly on the Roundhouse 2-8-0 kit.  Shaved off the cast-on headlight, generator and bell.  Will replace with brass castings.  Building a short vanderbilt tender for it instead of the Pennsy tender that was in the kit.

 Nice shots! 

 Nicely composed shot, Jarrell.

 I'm always a fan of those white SOO diesels as well.

 I took a couple of shots around a pond were I've been adding in some scenery details:

 

I photo-shopped in a backdrop on this shot:

Can't believe no one has started this yet.  Maybe you're like me and just haven't had time to shoot anything new, or did I miss the notice banning the thread.  Big Smile

Oh well, I'll start it with a 'recycled' shot from last year.
