But, this is another tank engine (yes, I know I posted this last month, a few days ago)

Snake Eye Bennett uses one as a storage bin for scrap metal.

Snake Eye's business was named after a real character in the small town where I grew up.  He owned a parrot that knew more huh... colorful words than the average sailor.  In good weather the bird stayed in a large cage on the front porch and would give pedestrians an earful as they came down the sidewalk.

Show me your oldest tank car.

I found these Athearn BB 3-dome tank cars at a train show a few years ago. The price on the box end was $2.35, so that probably dates them sometime in the 1950s. I fixed them up a bit with Kadees, metal wheels, a bit more weight and placards

Show me another old piece of rolling stock, locomotive or building

This is an old piece of rolling stock OR building.  Ambiguity intended.  I bought it as one of the rare old-style craftsman kits mftd for N scale about 1975.  It came with decal for ICG "split rail" supergraphic, not at all appropriate for this old wood car OR for my 1957-era layout.  Looked and looked for a prototype and a decal. 

Ended up using it as a retired railcar in service as storage shed at a creosote treating yard on my "old layout."

So.... show me. your "old layout."

Now show me a blue light. If you cannot find a blue light, I'll take two yellow ones.

Well, hands down, it's this one.  My earliest (1964) brass loco, and still one of my best and most powerful runners, an Akane model of the Missabe M4 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone.  This one's decalled as a 'never was' Rio Grande 3900 series.

My Favorite Locomotive:

I have many but this one is special. MRL #680. Though it's more like a "B" unit, I fell in love with it the moment I laid eyes on it in Livingston, Montana lashed up with a couple other SD45 and F45.  You got to love MRL's old helper sets. This is my HO version that I created.

One Steam Switcher just for you Mike.  This belonged to my father.  Can anyone id it?  I checked again tonight, no markings on the bottom.  The newest this could be is 1970 and it could be from the 50"s.  Dad passed on in 1994 so I can't ask him.

Here are some overall shots on my layout:

Central St in Sheepscott, a progress photo with buildings added in using Photoshop (need to update this, I have made some additional buildings and finished the roads Embarrassed)

Moving to the left, Greenvale Junction. This area is just about finished - just a few more buildings.

Further to the left is Greenvale. This is the area I am currently rebuilding. Everything in the lower left corner and center top have been removed. It's a composite if about a dozen photos I stitched together using Photoshop.

Show me some more overall layout photos or something that you are rebuilding

HALF of a flatcar  And LESS than half of a powerplant.  I tried to squeeze the impression of a power plant into almost zero space against the background with this mockup.  The cardstock cutout face of the powerplant was drawn in Photoshop LE and printed out.  

Show me another flatcar or more than one, since this was only half.

Thank you Lee,

  Starting from left to right on the background, are four buildings that are background structures up against the backdrop. So I guess you can say; the upper shelf and backdrop, is semi 3D.

Central St in Sheepscott presently has 3 buildings made of paper:

  • The grey building behind Reny's, on the right is a mockup mode of cereal boxes and painted grey. I made this to check the size of a future building
  • Lacy Variety, the white front building across from Renys, is a DPM modular mockup awaiting the final parts which have been out of stock for a long time
  • Teacup Cafe, the building with the blue sign, is a building designed using the ModelBuilder program and printed on photo paper. I have just started to assemble it

I think this may qualify.  I found a sharp looking blue switch engine shell on eBay and bought it.  I had no idea what the letters "CB&W" stood for.  After placing the Athearn shell on a chassis and putting it to work I hatched the idea for my new road name, Cedar Branch and Western.

It was many years later that I found out that the shell was lettered for a club layout, the Chesapeake Bay and Western.

Here's one of my kitbashed and custom-painted Cape Breton Development Corporation (or DEVCO) Railway GP38-2. In its heyday, the Devco Railway served a number of mines on Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. What remains today is now called the Sydney Coal Railway, and though it retains a few of these GP38-2s in the same green and yellow livery (including #228 here), they operate only about 15 miles of track. With the local mines closed, they now haul imported coal from the docks in Sydney to the Lingan generating station.

I like this custom-painted short line theme, so let's see some more!

I thought about snapping some pix of a 'retro' 1971-era TTX intermodal train I just finished.  But I figured by the time I unpacked the camera, setup the photo floodlamps, shot the photos, then cropped and uploaded them, somebody else would've beat me to it.  Ooops!

So we're still waiting on a photo of a new mrr project...

Another kitbashed slug, in this case B&M slug 100. Like the prototype, I started with a GP-9 and removed a lot of stuff. An Athearn BB dummy - removed the cab, dynamic brakes, fans, lowered it a few scale feet and covered in in styrene sheet and added some details

B&M 100 was a road slug, usually wotking with GP-40-2s B&M 300 and 301

Show me something else kitbashed

Speaking of slugs,

Started like as an Athearn switcher, cut down MDC RS3 walkways and hood ends, center of hood is embossed brass.

Show me some more kitbashing!

OK, not sure if these fit in, but here's 3 projects of mine, not all yet completed.

The cabbage is a Bachmann body, Athearn frame with metal wheels for the lights, the dash 9 in the middle was damaged, so it was chopped to fit on an Athearn SD40-2 frame, the SD40-2T, still under construction, has a wide cab replacing the spartan cab.

Mike.  ps.  The mill and bakery building behind these units is also completely kitbashed.

Seems stuck, so here is another kitbash.  A not quite finished mythical SD30.

Show me something that comes in at least two different "flavors".

I do lots of double-headed steam.  Here's a 2-10-2 and a 3-cylinder 4-8-2 on a freight.

Show me some other steam helpers.

Please Show Me Your Last of March Winter Projects!!!

My project today 3/30 was to run the OC&E ore train #251/252 from Fairport to Coos Bay and back.   There was no Coos Bay yard crew so I had to work the yard and load the ore dock too.  Took from 10 a.m until 4:00 pm REAL time.   Quite a project.

Let's see a last of March winter rolling stock project.

OK, if that is going top be a show stopper, make it rolling stock OR locomotive project.

Here is my Santa Fe F7 loco consist. I added the last A-unit and filled the number boards on all of the A-units. The B-unit has a Soundtraxx decoder and is electrically coupled to its A-unit.

How about another 'last of March' project.

A street project, which I've put on hold for a while til I decide just how wide I want it to be.

Show me an area you want to redo on your layout.
