Dang you guys are good. Awesome pics from everyone, love the 4th of July theme going on.

I just completed the Rix highway overpass for my railyard scene. Next I'll be working on the intermodal yard.

Happy 4th everyone!!!!

Nice work everyone! 

Driline -I like the fence, but the boxcar weathering steals the show.  It's fantastic!

I know it's a bit sappy, but I reworked a recent photo to fit an independence day theme.  Happy 4th of July to our American members!

Man you guys beat me to it, I was looking forward to starting this thread. Nonetheless, I recently purchased my 3rd Tower 55 ES44DC in the Northern Pacific Livery. I intend this one to be a Norfolk Southern in the gray ghost or primer paint scheme. Here is what I had to start with.

The next four pictures are the previous two Tower 55's that have been painted. Both were in the Northern Pacific livery and the challenging part was moving the headlights to the correct positions and getting the paint to stick to the trucks.

These last two pictures are from the most recent one I did. Now I just need to go back and lightly weather both of them.

Really great start to the weekend so far. Keep them coming.

Fantastic looking modeling and pictures, definetely "magazine" quality, and your weathering in dead on target as well, really a suburb job!!!!!

I do have one question and it in NO way reflects on your modeling skills, what happened to the outside rear view mirrors on the vehicles? It would never show except everythig else is 'soooooo" realistic. Actually the pick up is the one I noticed, it looks sort of naked without them.

But on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give you a 9.99999
