The small tank engines are all circa 1970 from my childhood. Most of them still run, the GWR Pannier tank is missing a connecting rod.

Motley,
That looks totally cool in that pic, I want to build a mini-module using a BLMA unit with two Exactrail girder bridges as 'feeders' on each end. However, I have not made the effort to go buy the wood for the base yet. I hope it will make a neat little (5 foot) display..
I like the way you shot that picture, (as I would not want to shoot loco's on it as the structure would take away from the image details). Your shot has given me inspiration to capture the loco's & the bridge at the same time. That is a real nice composition you did there! Good job!
ChadLRyan Motley, Sorry, I have to ask, what bridge is that, it looks great, sweet scene! I'd like to know what it is, or if you custom built it!? Excellent!

Thanks Chad. It's an Atlas 18" Truss bridge. I just weathered it with a black wash.

riogrande5761 Oh yeah! Love the D&RGW and can never get enough of nice photo's. The Grande gold/silver paint scheme is very nice and appealing, in some ways more than the AT&SF because all the D&RGW passenger cars had it save the CZ cars, yet the still complement each other well. Do you run any CZ stuff as well?

Not yet, but I definatley plan to get the Cali Zephyr train soon.

Thanks! It's nice to see some D&RGW love here!
This is a poster I have in my trainroom.
Garry,
All I can say is that you have great taste, love that scene!
Thanks for the info too, keep up the excellent shots, & thanks for the comments you gave us!
Kudo's!!
ChadRyan.... Thanks for commenting on my photo. The 2 SD24's are Atlas units. They were limited production, and I am glad I purchased them while they were available. I grew up along the CB&Q main line and saw the real SD24's pulling trains when they were new. They would put four SD24's on the train from Chicago to Denver. At the time, crews called these units "Red Devils", but this paint scheme became common on the Q soon afterwards.

Heartland Garry,
Are those SD24's factory, or did you custom paint & D'cal them? Looks nice! I admine that CB&Q scheme, especially after seeing the restored one. Great subject for the photo shoot!

Sir Madog Motley - I tell you a secret. I´d be happy to see one of my pictures published in the MR Trackside Photo section one day, but I don´t think I am good enough.

Tell you what. You are you're own worst critic, so lets get a third opinion, shall we? If you send in a CD-ROM of it to Model Railroader, trackside Photos,P.O. Box 1612, Waukesha, WI 53187-1612 I'll get up the nerve to send in two of mine I've kicked around. We'll let that Sperandeo guy decide. He might know.

I can see this is going to be another great thread this weekend! Some excellent modeling and photography folks!
I have gotten a bit more done on the Engine House this past week. Not much time available for trains...... I have finally gotten all the lights installed and checked to make sure they will work. Also built another workbench and added some tools. Waiting on more parts to arrive to finish the interior.

Some of us would disagree - your work is certainly good enough to be published.

Hello everyone. Where's Jarrel? His Southern RR is noticably missing.\
Nice photos so far! Great work all of you! Ulrich's tunnel looks terrfic. I like Rick's freight cars, Robby's covered hopper, Chad's big flat car. Larry's switcher, Michael's D&RGW, Simon's club layout, Morgan's photo shop creativity, Don's F units, Jeff's layout, Acela's photos of layout and real, and PC99's covered hoppers.
DJ ... The scrap yard looks very good with the dead tree and all.
Here is a westbound train entering the bridge over the Mrs. Hippy River while running on the eastbound track.
This isn't an actual model, but everyone tells me it looks like one so lets see what you think...
But seriously, here is one I caught at a club layout. I didn't see what I caught until later.

These 3-bay ACF CenterFlow Covered Hoppers are Accurail kits. They were custom painted prior to my purchase, I found them on eBay for $15.95 each. I installed Kadee #5 couplers and Intermountain metal wheels in place of the plastic ones that come in the kit. I assembled them today (not ready to weather them):

Here is an ABB combo of my Wishram Oregon & Western F units heading westbound through Bridgeport on the Mt Hood RR club layout.
And now, for something completely different. The picture I made for an avatar ends up a bit small, so I want to repost it here. I'm too pleased with how it turned out. It's just a photoshopping, I crpped a picture of CMPA 3634 out and ran it through the "Watercolor" filter, adjusted its settings, and then played with color balance and shading to try to match it to the painting background. The original painting is of the Madison Incline, circe late 1800s sometime. Notice the guy in the lower left sitting on the stump, reading. In my little world, CMPA commisined a new picture, using the orignal as a template but including the diesel in place of the open cut to capture the heritage of the line.
For self-teaching Photoshop, I think it turned out nicely.
And yes, I'll try to get something model train-y up here this weekend too.
You're easily as good as many I've seen published.

BRAKIE Mike Kieran: Awesome photos guys. Brakie, is your diesel a nod to the Atlantic Coast Line? Mike,I believe the previous owner had ACL in mine when he decided on a paint scheme. My thoughts was to strip and repaint this locomotive but,now I decided to keep her as she is since its a sharp looking engine.

It is a sharp paint scheme. I'm keeping the Southern paint scheme on my Kato NW2 while putting on my own lettering.
