A rowboat sitting on the trailer, that is... if you take the motor off it's the only way to get around...  Wink

Show me something with handrails.

If you look really close, you can see the aftermarket handrails I installed on this old Blue Box SW7:

WOW, So many to Choose from...
Although I'm a Diesel Guy most of the time, my Pride & Joy is this Little HOn3 PSC Shay, it is just a wonderfully built machine, where one can see everything working, & be mesmorized by it, it has a magic about it..

Please Show Me More Pride & Joy, from Your RR!!!!

I know about the one post per page guideline, but I really want to post this.  My pride and joy is the Blackwater Cannonball (Daily passenger train).  Here it is on another source of pride - the John Allen Memorial Trestle (two concentric curved trestles):

I built the Pikers and Oscar from old Walthers metal/wood kits; the first class car is a shortened craftsman kit from another manufacturer.

Show me more pride and joy.

Pride and Joy, huh?

Here are my Pennsy E-8s:

Both units were originally in ACL blue and yellow livery. I stripped them down, painted and decaled both units. The A unit has a MRC sound decoder and an oval speaker. The B-unit is also powered and has an Lenz decoder. They run well together and are quite impressive at the head of an eight-12 car passenger train.

Remember its your railroad

I've been meaning to say how much I like your trains on this bridge Phil. If that brass loco is a little 2-6-0 I've got one that needs a little mechanical work. It's a great little loco. I've alos got the two Lil Oscar and Piker coaches. What is the 2 bogie coach?

cheers

Thanks Alan.

The brass loco is a Far East Distributors mogul with the motor in the tender.  I installed a can motor and NWSL greabox and U-joint drive shaft.  It works pretty well.  I'm not sure of the kit I used for the longer car, but I think it was an old LaBelle kit.  Here are a couple of under construction photos:

...and now back to our regular programing, we're looking for a father & family activity.

Thanks Phil,

My 2-6-0 has the motor in the cab so it's not the same one. Having a small layout, I like small locos and the short cars. I use the old Roundhouse Overton cars, but that one is much shorter so I might try bashing one out of a spare roundhouse one I have.

That is a tough one, but here goes. The parsonage at the church on the Boothbay RR Village layout is totally scratch built including the windows

Show me something that you have not posted before and you are proud of

G Paine,

Mighty nice scratch building work.

I should have given credit to Fred Overkamp, one of volunteers at the museum. It is designed from a house he used to live in in RI that was built in the late 1700s or early 1800s. Unfortunately for us, he has taken a second retirement out in Utah

Hi,

It's hard to be a modeler of US railway in Europe. I took some pictures of my first finished module. I hope it shows american style a bit :)

What is your opinion ? Be honest please :)

Hi  Arras88, you do excellent work!  The bridge needs weathering is about the only thing I see that would help the scene.

You forgot to make a request so we'll give you a little time to do that.

Love your work!  :)
