My 9 year old son and I spent the morning building our last 6 Bullfrogs for our ISL. I guess next weekend we will have pics of the completed knobs coming through the fascia.
Playing with passenger trains and made a video for the heck of it.

Hey Chad!
Good to see you back!
Nice job on the couplers.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Well, I decided to make a diorama to take photos of equipment outside before I got back to college. Here is my result after 5 hours of work and plenty of hours for drying:I don't think it is too bad for something in a rush and only using materials on hand.

The rock face looks really good. How was it done?
The trees are a little too green for this time of year though. Sorry - couldn't resist with the snow in the background. Actually, the trees are well done too.

Nice work everyone!
Not a whole lot of progress this weekend. I did get another building together. I am working on a new building for Specialty Minerals. This is the bagging plant and warehouse for bagged specialty limestone products. It still needs paint and detailing. There is an interior loading dock, which is just barely visible in the photos. It is a scratch-bash with a Bachman Car Shop kit and Evergreen Styrene sheet, plastruct components, etc.

Chad,
Good job on the dual gauge idler. Keep adding weight until you've got every nook and cranny underneath filled. It really improves the operation. My short ones built from Rio Grande Models kits are pretty dodgy little critters even then. Having a long flat to work with should help considerably.
PGM,
It's small, but a really neat little photo prop. I like it.
Bear,
As long as the release mechanism works Mike, I’d sign it out.
Hmmm, guess it's back to the drawing board. The crew showed me a hatchet when I inquired about that...
