Crandell.......Very nice.
Here's a old shot from me. Taken on my old layout.

Looking good, guys.
Benchwork is slowly taking shape. I'm looking forward to a time when I have something good to share here again...my progress for the week is the corner section farthest from the camera.
Nothing much from me this week, just a simple scene looking across the tracks toward Southern Aggregate Co. and Bubba's Plumbing Supply. On the other hand, I've never built trees using stretched poly fiber over a plastic tree amature but I experimented with it and kinda like them. That's it, the large 'oak' just left of center in the background. I also did a little area using 'Pot Topper' material and it can be seen this side of the track, the larger green grassy area near the bottom of the picture.
I'm satisfied with both and will use the techniques more often.

That's a very picturesque scene, Crandell, and the effects really add to the realism.
Really nice scene, Jarrell, and you did a nice job on the trees.
I, too, like your fence, Wolfgang.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
I know most modeler railroad layout seen here on the WPF, show pine trees for their mountain scenery. However I like the southwest desert, and just have to tell anyone that likes to model the Mojave Desert for the SP, UP and ATSF, there are new Joshua trees being produced by a 14 year old modeler that are second to none. Here is his website: http://www.mstrains.com/product/
Here you can see the Joshua trees on my desert model intermixed with my live plants.
Really great to see young modelers having a model railroad business nowadays.
Well, you got me there, Tom. Let us say that Sentinel Coal leased this heavy NYC H6 for use in the hillier part of the State.
Since us "Northeast" people are getting snow......Why not get a shot in it.
Dang Robby, that real snow shot looks great! It's 60* here in Denver hahahaha
selector Larry, are you moving upscale? Crandell
Yes..I redesign Slate Creek for HO..I lost some of my near sight and that put the ice to N..I really hate to give up N but...
S'aright, Larry. I hope it is exciting for you...and fun.
Great stuff so far guys! Robby, I love the real snow shot. Beuatiful! It's been around -30ºC (that's about -22ºF for those of you to the south) out here in Nova Scotia this past week, and we've got lots of the white stuff!
Last week, I got my first Rapido RTR LRC Club car. It's just as beautiful as the coaches previously delivered, and is a much needed addition to my VIA Rail roster. The car was delivered in the 1980's-1998 VIA paint, with the old "VIA 1" logo. To equip it for my 2001+ modelling interests, I had to add modern decals to the car to add the new VIA 1 logos, "Canada" wordmark, handicap decals, and rooftop access panels. All of these were from Rapido's LRC decal set.
After applying these decals, I also set about to add Wi-Fi internet service. Rapido includes the detail parts for the white Wi-Fi domes VIA had mounted on the LRCs through the mid-2000s (the newest incarnation of their Wi-Fi service doesn't require these domes, so they have been mostly removed). I thought it was a very neat detail, so I decided to add it.
Installation involved drilling 5 holes in the roof of the car for the mounting pins on the base frame (4) and the dome itself (1) to fit in the roof. After drilling, I glued it in place. Probably took me about 5 minutes, but makes a very nice addition!
Here's my modernized Club car (you can compare to the images on the Rapido website to see the original paint scheme):

I worked on my scrap yard this week. There is more to do, but it is now mostly done. (The last picture in this group was earlier in the week before I added men cutting up the old structural steel in the center. The junk yard dog next to the shanty is almost to muddy to see.

TrainManTy Looking good, guys. Benchwork is slowly taking shape. I'm looking forward to a time when I have something good to share here again...my progress for the week is the corner section farthest from the camera.
Tyler, nice work! Can you explain more about what you're doing with the backdrop?? Are you planning to make it removable in segments? Staging behind it perhaps? I've been giving some thought to doing something like that, at least in places maybe, and was wondering if anybody else has tried it, and if so, how it looks when completed?

Garry,
I absolutely love that scrap yard scene. You're scene sure looks a lot better than the one I saw in the Walthers catalog a couple of months ago. Very well detailed!!
