Great shot, Crandell. I see you are up to your usual high quality.

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!
Jeffery - Great weathering job on the double-stack!

Nice shot Odie! Just needs a couple of figures...but it looks great as is.
Outstanding image, Crandell. Congrats on a great looking loco, Michael. Interesting shot, Odie.

Crandell: Great photography ....... Odie: Your picture is artistic. Nice ....... Jeff: Nice work with weathering ........ Rick: Looks like a fun club! .... Michael: Congrats on acquiring your FEF 4-8-4 ... TomKat: Great details in your scenes and a terrific choice of prototype (Burlington) ............ DJ: Love the RSD15 and the picture has great perspective.
On my layout, Charlie Railfan was visiting Blackhawk again, and he captured quite a lens full. Looking around the blast furnace, there are 3 mill-owned Baldwins at work. Meanwhile, a CB&Q SD7/SD9 lashup is delivering an ore train to the steel mill. SD24's are on the main line with a freight train. Two Burlington switchers are also in the picture. The flour mill is in the background.

Wow, some pretty impressive stuff this week. Here's my contribution, a just-completed loading dock with jib crane:
The loading dock is a micro-trains kit, the crane is by Durango Press. The support structure is scratchbuilt.

Just a couple close ups for me this weekend.
I was able to finish up another locomotive repaint recently. This is an IHC Mehano 4-8-2 taking the siding at Frostbite Falls. I tried for a slightly weathered look like the locomotive came out of the shop a few months ago. Just painting the silver tires does a lot to improve these old IHC locos and hide the oversize flanges.

The roof is removable. I stained the wood inside.
Water tower to go nearby. All of it is scratch built.
My project today was changing out the front coupler on this 70's era Bachmann 0-6-0. Now I need to touch up the parts of the body where the metal is showing through the paint.
Sue, DJ, and Garry, thanks very much for your comments. I appreciate them.

OK I have to show off my image that Crandell added smoke to my steam engine!
Thanks Crandell for the help with this!!!
The UP 844 at Denver North Yard
And the prototype, a photo I took in Oct. of the UP 844 at Denver North Yard.
Been making forest and trees for a bit (there is a difference) and the stuff that will be in the background seems to be working out.
And here's a little scene just around the bend from that one
Lots of tedious work perhaps - but fun, especially when it all seems to be coming together.

Great start to the weekend again! This is still my favorite thread every week! Some great modeling being done by you folks!
I have taken a bit of a rest on the powerhouse, as i am trying to find a couple items to use in the next step for it... So, since I made some turnouts last weekend, I ripped up some of the Atlas turnouts and track and started replacing it with hand laid track. First I cut and "creosoted" some scale ties:
Ripped out the old (it is being done little by little so I can operate trains):
Then started to install the turnouts and some new sidings:
The straight track isn't installed at the time I took the photo, just sitting in place (I will paint the PC ties first).

Heres a video of my layout running again since Im home for the holidays. Also have a bunch of new railfanning videos up on my channel.

I'm trying to model 1956, not live in it.
Looks like some great work again this weekend!
No MRR progress from me, since I'm in the midst of school, college applications, and hockey season. I do, however, have railfanning photos from last Sunday's Toys For Tots special on the Morristown & Erie.

Scarpia, I like this one. The 'weeds' look great around the ramp. Like the groundwork and the color you chose for the wood work.
Good job.
