Michael, I like your scenery, what did you use for the bushes/ground cover, WS ground foam?

Very nice work on display this week!!

It's been a slow start in the hobby for me this year.  I've hardly touched the layout, so here's the very first picture I've taken this year:

Painted up an old Mehano 4-4-0 given to me by a friend.

Home made logo on tank car came out pretty nice.

Eric - Great looking scene with CSX power.

Altoona - Benchwork is looking very good, well done.

Garry - Love that Zepher passenger train.

DJ - Another awesome looking shot!.

Crandell - I absolutely love that shot of the trackwork in your yard. This is one of my favorites!

I agree on the junk yard scene DJ

when i saw that last week i loved the crane so i went online to ebay and got the

construction kit

Not a bad looking crane for 6$

and a pickup truck to boot

Since i don't have room for a junk yard I chose to make a construction scene

 but i still need a piece of culvert to hang on the hook of the crane

Thanks, HL. Your excellent junk yard makes me want to look for a spot to model one, too. DJ.

Great scene, Jarrell, esp. the rusty corrugated tin.

Great work everyone.

Jarrell ... I really like your creative pig pen scene as well as the GE unit in the classic SOU paint scheme. Looks real.

Here's a view of "Reggie's Junk Yard" with an early 1960's edition of the Kansas City Zephyr.

Trying to catch the escapee from the pig pen, you'd think she'd get a little help from her brother.  Wait till Pa comes home!    Angry

Benchwork is going well now that I got my room finished enough to start builidng. I never thought I'd be able to build something like this but it wasn't too hard at all.
