I like this scene from the club layout. A member draw the house on the backdrop and I think he successfully blended the 3D foreground with the 2D backdrop. Everything behind the white fence is 2D.

Morgan, LOVE that shot of the JWR.  Something about it just screams "railroading" to me.  Well-done.

Oh, and you might want to send the local constabulary down to Possman to deal with that drunk passed out on the station platform!  Surprise

Gentlemen, good start to the weekend and some nice pictures.

Some cars I just finished!



This is an old MDC 2003 CF car that I never finished from years ago.  Lettered with Herald King Decals, and at least I used the correct number unlike Athearn which used an even number on the car, the prototype only had odd numbers.



This is an Atlas 2003 CF that was painted and lettered with Herald King Decals.  Again I found out that Atlas made the same mistake and used an even car number on their car!



This is a McKeen Models kit where I removed the original lettering and painted and lettered the car per the Herald King lettering diagram.  I could not find a lot of information on this car and used a generic car that matched the lettering diagram.

Thanks for looking!  My 2 Cents

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!

Yes, It's Friday where I is, so I'll kick it off.

Three from me this week,a nd a link to a video. It's on my Facebook, but I think I have it set to public.

First up, The James Whitcomb Riley as she rolls eastbound. Note the smoke plume from the unit Broadway installed.

 

Next up, a retired US Army switcher pauses from its duties while the crew takes lunch

Finally for pictures, an NWR passenger train is taking on passengers at Possman
