Close up, Moch up of the 40XIt is a Fictional unit, & Radio Controlled, hence all the Communication Antenne..The low hood & cab are from Cannon.It should make a fairly nice unit, I don't think it looks out of line for IC&E.

Your photos are still there I suspect. When I tried out the new format, it seemed that there is no obvious way to move between the pages of an album. Like you, I could only see the first X number of photos, and couldn't figure out how to move to the next set. What I did find was a link to switch back to the old view, which I did. And immeadiately regained access to all my photographs.
I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!
I picked these up yesterday.
They are the first R-T-R mass produced models of Queensland prototypes. This is a significant event considering 10 years ago there was less than 500 QR models known worldwide. Now there is over 5000. (Including Japan!) They've been produced by my good friend Adam Wuiske of Wuiske models.
They are a variety of QLX goods wagon first built in the 60's. They still run today (in much smaller numbers.)
They are on par with Atlas/Exact Rail for detail!

Not pretty work this week, but something that needed to be done. I was working on cleaning up the wiring with ring terminals and routing you can see the before:
And after:
Not much fun but it needed to be done.

Thanks for commenting. This is the Walthers Unions Station, and it was indeed patterned from the CB&Q station in Omaha. Walthers did modify the design somewhat, however. My station is in a fictional city on my layout. ..... Cheers!

Here's my progress so far. I have 3 out of 6 "modules" built. Sorry the first one's a bit blurry. This "level" is the staging yard. The main level will be 10" higher, flush with the top of the plywood "backers". I'm (going to be) using a no-lix to get from bottom to top. In the first photo, the no-lix track will be roughly 6-8" above the plywood, about 2-4" from the top of the plywood. It will be about a 2.2% grade. The "outermost" (closest to the wall, furthest from the aisle) track needs to be 1.5" (on center) from the plywood so the outermost return loop will have the required 22" minimum radius. The end module will be 4x4'. In the foreground of photo 2 is my existing 4x8 that's being dismantled and salvaged for lumber and track. This new one should make much better use of floor space and provide under-layout storage. The "cabinets" will get doors and paint to enhance the appearance. Track is (mostly) Atlas code 83, I have some Micro Engineering flex and older Walthers turnouts (the older power-routing ones). Yes, I'm aware of possible issues with DCC and shorting. I think I even have a section or 2 of older Peco code 83 (or maybe it's Made By Peco For Atlas) mixed in.
As you can tell, I *HATE* rickety benchwork. This should be able to safely support my rather large self, though I don't plan on climbing on it. It's VERY solid, even the as-yet unsupported end of the right-most module.

Cool Brad. I finally found this thread. Man what I wouldn't give for more space. But unless the wife decides to sleep on the couch and I take over the entire bedroom I'm out of luck.
superbe Great idea Jarrell. Not only did you solve the problem but you turned it into an asset. Your solution reminds me of when I had a large rock in my backyard. I could move it but there was no way I could lift it. My dad came up with the answer. Did a hole and bury it. Similar but different issues. Bob
