zgardner18 Forget about the foreground, I want to know about the background. Is it photo etched, painted, or just out doors? The trees to the back left look great as well!

It will likely be disappointing to know it's only a digitally added photo backdrop. The trees to the back left look great because they are real.
MAbruce Very nice work so far. Makes me hesitant to try to follow up on what's been posted. A run down the grade:

You definitely have nothing to feel hesitant about. Your work is right up there with the rest of the great contributors to WPF. The background blends in beautifully with the layout and the depiction of the abandoned track works very well.
Keep up the good work everyone.

Wolfgang,
Please consider posting photos of your sound equipped RDCs. I saw them on your YouTube Videos and thought they were nicely painted and detailed.

AntonioFP45 Stokesda, Always a pleasure to see another SCL modeler here! I plan on doing something similar to my Athearn BB SCL U-Boat. Your unit is looking really good! What number will it be?

Thanks! I haven't decided on a specific road # yet, but it will have to be one of the "earlier" ones (1802 or lower) because I planted the horn on top of the cab. Starting w/ 1803, it seems they put the horn on the long hood just behind the cab. I have a second one I'm planning to do in the Family Lines livery when I get around to it.
These will be the oddballs of my fleet, which has all western RRs. I've always had a soft spot for SCL because I grew up in central FL in the early '80s, and my dad bought these models when I was a kid (both originally SCL 1733). We never got a layout built, so mostly they ran on circles of brass track my brother and I put together on the floor, and got tossed in a cardboard box with a bunch of other toys when not in use. They took a lot of abuse over the years, but fortunately I don't need the original bent/missing handrail stanchions, missing plastic bell, horn-hook coupler clip, etc for this particular job.
BTW, I was able to get the yellow airbrushed on just before the weather turned to crap on Saturday. If all goes well, I'll be able to do the overall black color next weekend. Hooray, progress!

Great video. Outstanding waterfall. I kept waiting for the water to start moving. Looked over twice to make sure the video was going before I realized it was just an excellent modeling job!!

stokesda I'm turning it into an SCL U36B using the excellent article from the Aug '88 MR by John Edwards (not the former vice-presidential candidate, mind you)

Yeah, the former vice-presidential John Edwards could probably give you better advice about switching with a Cow and Calf...
