Here is my contribution....
The lease has run out on this Evan's double door boxcar. The UTLX reporting marks and routing instructions have been painted over and the car now in service under the SFLC marks. If you look really closly you can see the old Fort Vancouver Plywood logo peeping through the paint.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND !!!!

I like your image, Jarrell..nice touch. You have lots of detail, the lighting is very fine, and the overall effect has a very nice impression to offer.
Nice boxcar weathering! Nice rendering and a good photo to boot!
Frank, you have a nicely finished diesel there, and your roads (track and auto) look nicely done.
Here are my two pics for the week: First, Seneca yard showing an NYC Mikado moving some Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo closed hoppers and boxcars. Close focus is 7" with image stacking software out to nearly 11' at the backdrop.
Secondly, viewed from behind a store in town, an H-8 from the Chesapeake & Ohio rumbles past, headed west.

Jarrell Thanks for starting Weekend Photo Fun. Your photo really captures a mood. Looks real.
Greg ... box car looks like a real one.
Driline ... Great scene.
Dave ... Thanks for sharing club photos. I still need to see the layout when in Nashville.
Here is a little branch line activity. The doodlebug meets a train on the mainline in Valley Heights. Later, the motorcar heads past the farms toward Hinterland. Note: I "weather" my cows.

Thanks Crandell, I appreciate it! I'm interested in a couple of trees on your layout, in the top photo the one right above the engines smoke stack and in the second photo the large, nearest to the track. Did you make those? I'm soon to get into an area on my layout where I will need a mixture of conifers and hardwoods and I especially like the trunk of the tree in the second photo.

Looks great everybody!!
Here's a KFC I just added to my town. I still gotta blend it into the scenery.
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Jarrell, yes, they are bamboo skewer with the natural fiber furnace filter pads stuck on them. I cut out the pads, slide them down, shape with scissors, spray with 3M Super 77 glue (aerosol can), shake two shades and textures of ground foam over it (newspaper below to catch the stuff that don't stick), then overspray with hair holding spray. Let dry.
We called 'em Aggro Trees for the longest time.

Great shot, Zak. How did you do the grass in the foreground, it looks super... like the real thing!

Jarrell,
Thanks much, I paid a lot of money to create that grass. It was made by using the Noch Grasmaster. I do it in layers of different colors to catch the real effects of grass.
This is my 1000th post to the forum, still have a long way to go to catch people like Selector, but this is not a race.
At a recent train show I found 2 Athearn blue box undecorated boxcars which fit in with my plan to use up some old decals. The first one completed is Turtle Creek Central TCC 132.
Maybe it needs a bit of light weathering...

This week's new additions to the freight car fleet on the Operations Road Show layout.
First, an Overland wagon top boxcar I painted.
There are four more to do, but before I paint them, I think I'll replace the doors with the ones the real ones got as replacements later in their careers.
The second is the first from my collection of resin kits- a Funaro & Camerlengo Pennsy X26C .
That's one kit down, about fifty to go.

Progress on my newest layout section. Future plans include a pumphouse to be located next to the watertank.
I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
Since my Canon A540 camera has "Bit the Dust" all I can share is some oldies from my old layout. I'm looking at the Pentax K-x as a replacement & upgrade. With this camera I can use my lens from my 35mm Pentax K-1000. Has anybody here at the forum used this Camera? Well here are the old shots.

Fmilhaupt,
That's an interesting looking boxcar. I don't think I've ever one with the top rounded like that. Do you have a prototype pic?

Hello all
I've spent some time detailling and weathering a few modern-ish freight cars for Sweethome, Alabama. Here are a selection of photos of the covered hoppers I've recently finished.
Happy modelling,

Boy this thread didn't last very long. 1,900 viewers is pathetic. Last week we had over 5,000.
I like the water tower. Jon grant, I like your yard weeds and subtle touch on the covered hoppers.
