Some SOO F3 weathered for a friend.
WOW! Great start already and it's only noon on Friday!
I have been working on a scratch built backwoods style engine house. So far I have drawn out what I want to build (been changed 3 times so far...) and started to build it from the ground up.
Here is what I have accomplished so far (I have decided this one will be and experiment with a, hopefully, much better one for contest later). It will have to be removable so the floor has to be built in sections.
Flooring is made of scale 1"x 4"x 8' lumber that has been "weathered" with an India Ink/Alcohol wash.
Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO
We'll get there sooner or later!
Here are a few more cars I have recently finished assembling, painted and decaled.
This is either a Eastern Car Works or E&B Valley car with Microscale Decals.
This is either a Eastern Car Works or E&B Valley car with Champ Decals.
This is an Eastern Car Works Car Kit with Herald King Decals.
Thanks for looking

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
Finally I got some stairs leading up the ridge to the section foreman's house. The steps were purchased and I built a small platform about half way up. Guess I gotta get some handrails in place now.

Not pretty but it will get me thru open house tomorrow and Sunday
Maybe I can find a new turn out at the show
I think this one got warped from the ballast
Nice work Terry and MAbruce !!!!!!! It looks like coal trains are busy helping utilities replenish stockpiles from the cold winter season.
Here are shots on my branch line. First is an overview of a short train. Secon is a zoomed in shot of the locomotive.
