Well it seems we're off to a great start this week.
Rick, your GE U Boat is coming out quite nice.
Terry, I love the idea of repurposing old tape cases.
Jimmy, Your box car and interlocking tower look terrific.
I've been hard at work on the section between Horseshoe Curve and the Gallitzin Tunnels.
Modeling the Pennsylvania Railroad in N Scale.

Nice work everyone. Jimmy, that's a fine job for a first scratchbuild. It grows on you, as do your skills.
Not a lot of photogenic stuff. I've been refining a couple of stretches of track that are a little rough. Tedious work. And setting up JMRI to add used iPhone/iPad devices as wireless throttles. So here's a few from the recent past that didn't get posted earlier IIRC.
A pair of views of the Durango Yard.
Up on the old Silverton RR, a double-header passes through Chattanooga.

Here's the finished Wheeling boxcar. Started as an accurail undec kit.
And here is the CITY tower I showed last week with a porch added this week. All I need to do is some touch up work, the under roof arches, and weather the roof
Remember, this was my first project I did from scratch, there weren't even any plabd so I had to use photographs.

These are the opinions of an under 35 , from the east end of, and modeling, the same section of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railway. As well as a freelanced road (Austinville and Dynamite City railroad).
That's funny Rick cause I too am waiting for the glue to dry
So I thought I'd do this post
I did a video of how I do operations now
I use to do Car Cards
This is what I use for holders
"> but thought it may be too much clerk work and so I tried just doing an Operations Scenario Which is nothing more than a list of Locos their departure times and destinations and the order in which they run The video gives a glimpse of actual operations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCmx0rRe5o4

Looks like Bear is really working at lot this week, so I guess I will start it off this week!
By the way kudos to all who participated last week, one of the best weeks in the last few!
I will show my progress on the Hot Coil Car, I have stagnated a little bit as I have to make the bends in the main airline in three dimensions, so I have to think out where every bend goes before I go and do it. Although I got a couple of steps done before that one.Here I have installed some Kadee #158 Couplers in the boxes and spot glued them together for the installation on the car.After checking the coupler height and installing a few shims I glued the coupler boxes to the frames and the cover piece on top of the coupler box.Like some other people while waiting for glue to dry etc. I started work on another project that has been sitting around. I have a old Stewart U25b Diesel that I wanted to do for the Pennsylvania complete with the Trainphone Antennas as delivered. Some different views of the engine after installing Utah Pacific GE Lift Rings on the long hood and nose of the unit, a couple of grab irons, the Signal Box in front of the engineer on the walkway and the Cal-Scale Antenna Supports on the roof of the cab and along the sides of the long hood.Still to come, drop steps, coupler lift bar and other detail parts before painting.
Thanks for lookingRick 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!
