Ulrich.... Thanks for starting Week End Photo Fun. ... You kicked it off with a very realistic scene.

MA Bruce ... I like the video.

Rick .... The freight cars look very good

Here is my CB&Q car 308 crossing the bridge in Valley Heights. The car is a modernized heavyweight diner-parlor, and I made it from an NKP Car Company kit. On my layout I operate short, secondary passenger tains with connecting service with long distance Burlington Zephyr trains in 1962. The waterfall is named "Standing Falls".

RickMy 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!

Very nice work Madog, and thanks for starting us off this week.

I put together a video tour production of my layout for a contest on another forum:

Rolling through the Heartland

It's only two minutes in length (for those who don't like long videos ZzzSmile, Wink & Grin).
