A update shot of one of my cement plants. No dead/sleepy guy in this shot!!
"Rust, whats not to love?"
Nice work!
Crandell, I really like that scene. Well done.
I had some fun recently creating a historic photo from my layout. I'm thinking this was taken sometime in the late 1930's to early 40's:
These days most things have been in decline for quite some time:
My first time in a long time on WPF.
This is Spoon Yard on my layout. To the left of the small mountain is a portal into the town of Clark Fork. Spoon yard is technically staging in my workshop - I'm using it to experiment with techniques. I am working on a paved road and sidewalk to go with the Walthers modulars.
Love the "dirt" look in yard selector - what material did you use ?
And, Bobby P, I really like your road!

Good morning. I'm glad to see the quick start of WPF....
Wolfgang ... Your turnatable looks great. ...
Crandell ... Nicely detail scene including real-looking switch stand.
Michael ... I like the night shot at Union Station.
Robby ... Glad to see your layout view. Dirt raod looks good.
MH Bruce ... I really like the rural scene.
Tom B ... Your Spoon Yard looks good.
Here is a view of my fictional town of "Blackhawk" unlike some real towns with that name.

Thanks for the comments on the dirt road. Honestly it was just some paint I had left over, and I just wanted to see what it would look like. I guess it turned out pretty good.
Know Cents Where have you been hiding that Layout? I think this is the first time I have seen it! Must have hit a good vein of coal to have two mines!
Micheal Is that the picture of the Real Union Station or the one on your layout? You fooled me before!

Lots of excellent photos already.
I picked up (swapped) a few locos last weekend and made a couple of videos of the new layout this week, so I havent had much time to do any modelling, although I did have my first attempt at modelling kudzu. Here's the new stuff

Ken:
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Jeff (Knowcents) ... I like your Santa Fe layout. It is well lighted, too.
Jon ... Looks more and more like Alabama. I can almost imagine Kudzu vines growing next.
Terryin Texas ... Tahnks for the H* video. Great!
BN Grain Hauler..... Welome. Looking forward to more from you.
Well, I'm going to try this - it's an old video I shot of the FHN's heavy 4-8-2...

The Enola Pit is busy as usual...
Meanwhile, a Pennsy 44-tonner rolls into Enola yard with a load of mill gons full of scrap from the Harrisburg side of the river...
And yes, that's an N scale 44-tonner. It actually pulls more than its prototype!

Guys,
Great pictures so far this weekend and great to see all the progress...
I have been working on my layout and a building...
After a small setback I have moved ahead on my shelf layout. I had to move some cork and remove some ties but I think things will be better with the addition of a crossover.
The inside of Tum-A-Lum Lumber is moving along

A small village cropped up just to the north of Spoon yard. Hotel Blazinar where the crews can overnight has two stories of first class rooms and the Howard Theatre, now a small storage building, is taking on LCL business from surrounding areas. No tenant has occupied the middle building yet. Crews are still working on the tracks putting in road crossings so that this village will connect with the southern part of Spoon yard.
The latest progress on my ExactRail PS 4427'sAfter adding end sills and ladder supports at the end of the car.After adding ladder grabs and grab irons on the end of the cars. Each car took about an hour to add the grabs, the most tedious and frustrating part of building this car. After adding the Discharge Gates on hopper bays and Airline along the side of the car.Adding the roof and trough hatch to the car.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!
David V again I am impressed with your modeling. What I like the best is your ballast.
Greg, I like you store interior, is that a rifle standing up my the shelf.
Well have no good shoots this weekend. Simon 1966, his sons and I went to the Boeing Train show. Couple of quick shoots of my finds. Got the 6 cars for $18.00.
For anyone that read my Brass Track posting, I found 19 brass turn outs for $10.00.
Few pictures of the cars I have added to the bench. I need to get off my dead butt and make some roads for them.
First is a so so shot of the Speed Shops parking lot for customers. I like the GT 500, but I think the Charger R/T could take it.
My favorite car I got is the White and Red 69 Coronet R/T Convertible. Very striking color combination, but for the life of me I could not get a good shoot of it.
Next is a bronze 69 Coronet R/T Convertible and a 63 Split Widow Vett.
And Finally the truck Drivers parking lot.
