Early weekend? Being retired i have 6 saturdays and one Sunday in every week so today is great for starting the WPF Thread....
DJ! Wow.... Love it!
I've been painting tools for the workbench. Why? Well they look better when painted properly. Wanna see? Well Here's the Workbench:You can get a better Idea of how big it is in this photo. Yes I know I have to do some sanding on the rough edges before I put it in the Engine house....So what was I painting? Well a pipe wrench for one thing...Oh and a hammer....No THAT is a hammer, not a little sliver in my finger....."They're coming to take me away, Ha,Ha......."

We'll get there sooner or later!
Congrats on acquiring that fine looking Mountain, John.
Love the sunset, MAbruce.
That's an excellent photo, Crandell.
An I1sa leads a West Bound coal drag. DJ.
Great, EARLY (:D) start!
John, that brass is GORGEOUS! The cell phone pic still conveys all the detail!
Sweet shots as well guys!
I don't have much, did a bit of work today, namely painted a bit of foam, smoothed out some road, and added a couple of "fill trees." nothing pic worthy

I am seriously envious of that fine brass M1!! Nice locomotive. Love Bruce's sunset image with the long low trestle, too.
Mine shows a shot angle never shown on my layout. I have a Santa Fe 4-8-4 pulling freight that needs to get where it is going quickly.

PRR_in_AZ Yeah, I have an H-6SB and an H-9. Both brass and very cool. I want to have multiples too. For some reason I'm leaning more toward L-1 (2-8-2) Mikados. They always seem to get overlooked by Pennsy guys. I have one I'm finishing up painting and will post pics soon. Chris

I have been laying in a supply of K4's to kitbash into L1's. I'll keep a few as K4's of course :-) There are a lot of similarities between the two, by design.

PRR_in_AZ Nice loco, John. Brass is a slippery slope, at least for me. You can never be satisfied with just one! Enjoy! Chris

Yeah, you're probably right about that. My goal is to acquire about 4 or 5 more of the M1a's (or M1b's, either one) and a few H9's or H10's, which as far as I know, the H9/10's are only made in brass.
MAbruce Wow, off to an early start this week. But that's okay - it makes up for some late starts. Nice acquisition John. Hopefully it will run... I recently had some fun with my photo software to make this sunset scene: And for those of you who frown upon such photo manipulation, here's a shot of my layout without any digital trickery:

Wow! Those are great photos-- not sure which one I like better.... your layout really looks nice!
I get to start WPF this week...
With my new (to me) brass Pennsy M1a -- my *very first* brass locomotive !!!
(I wish the picture was better, but I had to take it with my cell-phone camera.)
I'm looking forward to seeing how well it runs (or, um... *if* it runs :-) I reckon I'm probably going to re-motor it in any case and put a sound decoder in it.
