Some newer locos soon to be weathered and detailled, not necessarily in that order.

Enjoy the weekend

Here are some of the cars that I finished last week!



This is an IMRC PS1 car that I started 15 years ago, I finally masked the sides of the car and painted the ends black.  I applied the lettering using Mark Vaughn's decals.



This is an IMRC PS1 car that I did after receiving my Details Associates decals. The decals called for an Athearn can but my research revealed that all the double door cars were Pullman Standard cars. 



I recently purchased an old Rail Model Journal for an article on prototype FGE RBL's, included in the magazine were a set of Microscale Decals and a detailed article on building GAEX boxcars.  I varied from the article in that Branchline Models has released a GARX reefer that I did not install the refridgerator door but instead installed an 8' sliding door.  You probably can't read the little placard but this car was leased to the Wabash.  I have another set of the decals and will do a lease car to the PRR and SGS decals gave me a set to do a PC car after the lease expired and the PRR purchased the cars.

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!

Hi Mountain Goat,

I really enjoy the pics of your layout. Can you tell me what model you used as the basis for Wisher Washers? It looks great. I am up the road from you in Lawrence.

Nice work and great photography, everybody!

Here is an industry I just built. It is a large bakery (bread factory). It is consturcted primarily of Walthers modular pieces. The silos are for flour storage, and they are constructed mostly with 1 1/2" plastic drain pipe. I'll be adding more scenery and some signs eventually.

You fellows do good work! I like the steamer coming through the imposing scenery at top...reminds be a bit of the Hell's Gate area of the Fraser Valley in south-western British Columbia. Wishers Washers turned out well!  TomKat, you have a very creditable layout there...very deliberate and careful, and well executed.

I call my effort for the week, "Pillar of smoke", a reference to a video with a closely related name on the Norfolk & Western. That's a Y Class Mallet on the head end.

Okay looks like I'll have to start it myself. I can't wait for those great pics to show up any longer.

Here a C&O 2-10-4 admires some newly created rock work and thinking, this is much better than looking at spline and bare walls.Smile
