Skeleton log car I scratch built. Simple, but my first real scratch build for rolling stock. Planning to have a number of these.
Great stuff so far this weekend!!!
Here is a couple of vintage photos of the combine used by the SP&S from the 1950's until Amtrak was created.
Photo Taken late 1959

Not done by me but I wish I could do work like this. What we have here is a Van Hobbies O-18-a reworked with new motor, Tsunami, cab detail and other various and assorted changes.
Looks like WPF has a great start with some outstanding photos of some very nice model railroads.
Here pictures of activity in the City of Heartland.

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
I made good progress on Central St this week. I completed wet sanding the roads until they were smooth, glued down 6x6 styrene curbs (also used as formwork for th sidewalks) and poured the sidewalks and building foundations. After wet sanding the sidewalks and building foundations, I scribed concrete joints into the sidewalks, and addded Masonite foundation platforms for the 3 buildings on the hill, including one mocked using the DPM modulars planning kit.
Just for information, this is an idea of what I have planned for this street. The tracks will disappear behind and under the background row of buildings to appear in the next scene which is Greenvale Junction

Superb start to the weekend, everyone.
Here's my contribution: a couple of shots of #3903, a big 'never was' Rio Grande 2-8-8-4 hauling a freight up the 2.2% grade of Yuba Pass. The old 1964 Akane loco has just been re-fitted with rare earth magnets in its motor, and can crawl and haul like I just bought it new off the shelf. In fact, BETTER!

Great stuff this week as always. The only thing new this week to show is the coaling tower that I put together. The top is a little off true but too late now
Some really great looking photos gentlemen.
This is the Denver North UP Yard.

Great start to the weekend as usual Jarrel and MC!
Below are pictures of the PC GP40 that I recently finished. This is one of 10 PC GP40's painted with the Orange C, supposedly as a reference to the PC taking over the New Haven. These were new GP40's delivered to the PC in 1969.
I replaced the plastic lift rings with metal ones, added a cab signal control box in front of the engineer which necessitated moving the nose grab irons to the fireman's side and plugging the pre-drilled holes on the engineers side. Also had to plug the holes for the sun shades as PC engine's did not have sun shades applied. Also installed a Sinclair Antenna on the cab roof. Lettering was supplied by two Microscale Sets.
Thanks for looking!

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!
That's a groovy scene, Jarrell.I like how you "piled" on the details!
It's also a great reminder that not every "industry" is a big brick building.
Been adding little details around the engine shed and in the shop on my N scale Mt. Coffin and Columbia River layout:Thanks for looking, and I'm I looking forward to see all the great work everyone posts (like usual) over the weekend ;)
