Modelling AT&SF in the 90s
Great gear, James!
I'm downunder too, so here's mine - Atlas Guilford C424 on the run-down line to the Newlywed Bakery

I'll weigh in from downunder as well. Small world, given that the first two posters are in Brissie and I'm in South-East QLD. I've been at home all week, working on my new HOn3 scale layout:
The track is code 70 Micro-Engineering, and the turnouts are Shinohara.
Mike, your trackwork and scenery look awesome. Have you been published at all?

Reading your previous three "Aussie" post's using an Australian accent makes it much more interesting

How I do love the Watertown Industrial Track!
I live about 2 or 3 miles away from there and remember Guilford running there in the early 2000s back when they still used the B&M transfer cabooses!

Hi tbdanny - to answer your question: nothing major.
Alex - I'm having a ball modelling that line - and the mud pit is under construction.

Mike - I'm familiar with the area and you nailed the look of the track work. Question is do your loco's get stuck there too?
Mike,
another great shot from down under. Can you advise what camera you are using and what lighting you used? Turned out sharp and clear.

Bruce amazingly the locos go through very easily. The line has a couple of serious dips near the mud pit, and some couplings lose contact when they go out of alignment vertically, but nothing derails at all I'll post more pics as it gets done.
Bob my camera is a 4MP Olympus C750UZ . The camera has on-board sharpening which works a treat. I light the layout with several short overhead fluoros, but the best lighting comes from twin portable 500watt halogen floodlights, although only one flood was on for that shot.
Great early start this week.

Wow! Great start to the weekend already.
I have been putting together a Erie B3 Steam Shovel kit by Jordan. It will be used in the limestone quarry at the top of Bare Mountain on the SLOW when I get around to building it... For now it is sitting near the team track at Hopewell junction.

Very nice weathering job on the steam shovel. I was wondering is that Silflor grass tufts? And did you buy a couple of different colors or just one color and then dye the other's?
What a great way to start the Weekend Photo Fun with all of that down under modeling! ... Aussies, y'all come back ... yah hear!
Driline .. Hudson looks great.
DJ ... K4 looks good even it has been bumped to secondary freight service.
Jarrell .... RS3's never look better than when they were in Southern green.
Ray ... The steam shovel looks real. Great modeling joib!
Everybody. Please honor our vets and our troops over Memorial Day Weekend. (I bet you already are doingt that without my reminding youi.)

Thank you sir!
It was a "fun" kit to put together. Got to use a whole lot of words I used to tell my 8th. Grade classes they shouldn't use in "polite" conversation...
Yep, it is Silflor. I used about 10 different varieties of it. Long, short, Prarie tufts, etc. Since I model mid August, 1925, I used the Summer, Late Summer, and Fall colored ones.
Great shots, so far. Heartland, here's the rest of the local. DJ.
Wow some incredible shots so far.
I got some more trees done on the mountain...

DJ ... Oh I get it. That was an express boxcar, and it is followed by other types of headend cars. .. Great scene!
Dave and Motly ... Nice pix!
My first contribution to WPF. This is my third scratch build. I got the design from some pics online of a LaserArt kit. I shorten it up a bit for my SW-7 and I think it turned out quite well. I used SMT LED's for interior lighting. I soldered the SMT's to a PC tie glued to the rafters. This engine house will go on the Swift Soybean Processing Plant yard for the dedicated switcher. The Soybean plant is patterned after an article in MRR a couple of years ago.
Great start to the weekend, on page 2 already making up for that slow one last week.
I completed a couple of factory paints with some light weathering and fading, weight to NMRA std, matal wheels and Kadee couplers

Some great stuff and soo early in the weekend. This is going to be a great one.
Springfield PA
The Hudson Highlands RR was in need of a transfer caboose recently. Rumaging through my scrap box I came up with the materials to do a "quick & dirty" (i.e. rush job) version over the course of Saturday afternoon/Sunday morning last weekend. The car still needs marker light lenses, a toolbox and maybe a small fuel tank added, but is otherwise complete enough to start handling the transfer jobs between my carfloat dock and Jacksboro, NY.

Here is my progress to date....
Here is the new staging yard or at least the shelf. I pan on having two tracks the lenght of the shelf and a third track the runs down about half of the shelf before tying back in.
