Say, Odie, that's a pretty darned good Pennsy setting you have depicted there. Well done!!

As i am getting my layout put back together from the move cross county I wanted to share this from before I took it apart.

Dennis,
This forum goes to the whole world. Here in Australia there are many subscribers to MR Mag and the forums. Indeed you often find an Aussie starts the WPF because we are 10 hours ahead of US time.

Very nice shots! Espcially Crandell & Garry! I'd post some pics, but my layout is a mess from my leave of absence.

No photo yet, just a drawing, but I am working to get this layout off the ground:
It´ll be the first step towards a new "empire", should the current negotiations with SWMBO result in any real estate gains.
Great photos, everybody!
Crandell ... That's a great shot! Snow looks real.
Tashtego. ... Nice close up of the GN RS3. Does the brakeman need a Gillette?
DJ.... Any bites with the fishing pole?
Michael ... the NYC train looks great!
Jeff ..... "Wash Me. Sincerely, the GP 38."
Rick ... The freight cars look great this weekend.

I'm finishing up another town, Iaeger, WV. Still need to add some details, stripe and weather the roads. Then it will be installing the detection and switch motor for the crossing signals.
Lots more to do.

E-L man tom Crandell, how'd you do that with the smoke and the snow? Is that why God invented PhotoShop?

Tom, the snow is actually WS "Soft Flake" snow sprinkled as a light covering. Jarrell did the border and changed my grey winter sky to something a bit more pleasing, for which I am grateful. The spindrifting snow beside the engine is done using a clone brush with a reference point in bright snow somewhere in the photo, and the 'pressure' is set very close to zero. Then I just swipe the brush tool beside the engine until the white shows enough. As for the smoke and steam ejection over the boiler, first cover the path with white using the clone brush so that bushes and stuff behind don't reappear when I begin to darken it with the smoke. Then, I added dabs and swipes of the clone brush using the tunnel darkness as my reference point. The small area means I had to save and restart the brush multiple times, more than I care to remember.
The programme I am using is called Sagelight.
Here is a shot of the Plymouth diesel taken in the 1960's at the mill at Joppa Iron Works.
Here it goes for this weekend. Pic of the original diesel for the Joppa Iron Works at Furnace "A" with a hot metal car.

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!
Love all these photos. Unfortunately, i don't have any shots (yet) that would be worthy of this thread. Crandell, how'd you do that with the smoke and the snow? Is that why God invented PhotoShop? In any event, great shots, all.

That's a great scene and photo, Heartland.
I'd really, really, rather be fishin. DJ.
Couple of photos of my RS-3 going to work.
OK. I'll start. I prefer full name because new people may not know what WPF means.
Here are 2 BLI Blue Line E7's with DCC and sound. Also, there is a Stewart VO 1000 with DCC.
The train has mail and express cars full of Christmas gifts sent to loved ones.
