Great start already folks!  Grampy, Jarrell, and the rest, fine work you folks are doing.  I always look forward to this thread!

I have been waiting for some windows to arrive at my LHS to work on the main part of the Logging pike engine house I am building, so in the meantime I put together the small workshop that will be a room off the side of the engine house.  Walls are made icluding the 2' x 4' studs on the walls:

Walls have been assembled on the base and painted dark gray, windows and doors (Grandtline) added:

 Thanks, Jarrell, and you gotta love those old Alcos, I do. Very nice! That grass is from the Silflor Summer sampler pack, available at Scenic Express. DJ.

 So Long Turntable.....

Hello hole in ground... Hmmm...now what to do. Could make a nice swimming pool, or could possibly hold a nice ice cold bucket O' Beer.

Very nice. What type of chip did you install?

MC

Thanks

The new chip is LLW GP-9 112-03
with the Nathan 5m  5 chime horn
which is correct for the C&O Geeps
And sounds great
the prime mover now ramps up all the way thru
the speed range and also transitions just like the real ones

 Darn, this is good!  Grampy, every time I see your work I get depressed...  Big Smile

How did you do the tall green grass at the bottom right corner of the photo?

Looks like things are off to a good start, lookin' and soundin' great!  Here's a shot of my Southern RS-3, an Athearn RTR, making it's way up a grade with a couple of coal hoppers.

C&O fan, you loco sounds great!

I'm still working on filling in a corner of the BRVRR layout. My new skyline and background building are in place. I've begun detailing the scene a little. Here is an image of my home-made chain-link fence. Not the best rendition of a fence I've ever seen, but not bad for  this amateur. 

 

Remember its your railroad

 I agree, sounds good!!

 Here's a weathered hopper I just finished up.  I forgot to take a before shot, but it was a bright yellow hopper.

To start things off here's a video of my GP-9 with an upgrade chip installed

 I really like the Nathan 5 chime horn
