Looks like I get to kick off WPF this go-round. Been doing a lot of PM on couplers, trucks, and loco performance, but got some pics on the layout.
Here's the Red Mountain Mixed at Silverton.
A close-up of the motive power, #3.
A scenic spot along the old Silverton Railroad.
A shot at Chattanooga on the return trip.
Another look at #3.
Here's a look at another freight at Tefft as it met a downbound pole train off the Cascade Branch.
That's all for now.

Gidday All, Great start Mike., (edit) and Roger, I do like RS s'. W**ks has been very busy, but have had a bit of time to play around with the camera and computer. One of these days I might actually know what I'm doing!!!

Beautiful models in beautiful settings. Great start, gentlemen.
My town is called Moose Bay, so I thought this was an appropriate product:
When I bought my original HO-scale train set, a box of Athearns, it had a 50-foot gondola with six of these canisters. Over the weekend, I made up decals for this imaginary product from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

Good morning, as I managed to nail a deer on my way to work this week, spare time has been spent seeing the insurance and car repair folks, so nothing new this week. So here are some old pictures that I may or may not have shown before.
Kato SD40 and 45 That I detailed, painted and decaled are pulling into Thurd on the Strongsville Society of Model Railroad Engineers layout, a lot of cars that I detailed and painted are following the locos. PRR C-liners with a coal drag on the mainline! Rick J

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!
Looking good so far guys.
I don't remember if I've posted this one before, but here it is from my updated website.
New York Central E-8 #4040 at the head of a short passenger train passes Grafton Tower on the inner main line on the BRVRR. This short train is typical of the consists on NYC trains near the end of passenger service although most still had A/B locomotive sets assigned until the PennCentral takeover.
Keep the photos and ideas coming guys. You always make this the best thread of the week.
Remember its your railroad

Great stuff so far ...... Mike L : Your narrow gauge is excellent. ... Bear: Nice photo .... Rick : I like the C-Liners ... Mr. B.: Okay if you say so. That isa one of a kind load! ....Allan: I like the NYC passenger train.... Roger H: I like the NYC Alco. Actually I'm in the CID too, but I live 300 miles from Indy where most meetings take place. My good intentions of going never result in getting there. ...
Here is an ore train rolling through Blackhawk where there is a junction with the steel mill branch line. You can see one of the mill Baldwin switchers hauling empty coke cars.

Nice pics guys. Here are a couple more closeups of Sublime City. I have a few more buildings to add and a bunch of people and cars and then I will need another project.
Don't think I've ever posted pics here before, so I'll give it a try,

Give it a couple of weeks in your paint shop and it will look entirely different!!

Making progress in rehabilitating the creosote treating plant from my dismantled East Texas piney woods layout. I have no place for a creo plant on my Galveston island seaport layout now under construction, so I am fixing this industry up to attempt to sell.
Photo unfortunately or fortunately shows me several things to touch up and fix up yet.
Awesome work everyone. A good friend gave me a old Mantua flat car that I put KD's on, metal wheels, painted and weathered.

In Honor of Jim G.. a Thank You & God Bless...
WOW!!!! Followed up on my own post in WPF, never thought THAT would EVER happen...!
Well, there is/was a little progress this weekend, -& it feels good to work on trains again!!!!!!!
Here is my Kato CP SD40 ABS, (Already Been Smudged), unit I got from an auction site. I added a couple Detail Parts, to make it CP-Authentic (added parts unpainted). Also, readjusted the former Weathering (Smudge), to make it more to my liking, by using a small stiff Bristled Fan Brush with a semi-dry wash of 91% Isopropyl Rubbing Alchohol. Now I can begin painting & weathering on my terms. Enjoy!!!
That CP SD40 looks AWESOME! Nice work.
Happy modeling.
Don.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that both engines have failed, and we will be stuck here for some time. The good news is that you decided to take the train and not fly."
Don, & George;Thank you very much for your Compliments, I REALLY take that to heart!It is the suppport I get from many of you that keeps me modelling, it is appreciated.Thank You!!
PS: I was a little miffed I forgot, (AGAIN!!!) to rack my Cut Bars/Pin Lifters.... Almost every shot Ihave taken this last year has them out of place, DOH!!!! -next time... perhaps...
