Mike:
The quarry looks good with the staining.
Terry:
Great layout and great modeling of the prototype structures too. I love the operating coal features.
Ulrich!
What a great little engine! Very smooth running as you said. Lovely detail too.
George:
Nice progress on the box cab.
I have restarted work on a Grandt Line box cab that I have had for some time but there is nothing noteworthy so no pics yet.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
peahrens zstripe I don't know if that is how You wanted it...but I was able to view Your Library from the link's You provided. Can someone clarify this? I use photobucket and have nothing but trains photos on it. But if I post a PB photo link, can everyone peruse my library, or does that depend on some setting in my PB account? Thanks.

I do wish MR would explain how to post photos and have a sticky at the top with the explanation.
In photobucket, you have four choices of code to copy for each photo. (Email & IM; Direct; HTML; and IMG.
Copy the Direct code (Second of the four).
Above the posting body, you will see icons which can be clicked. Click on the middle one which has a mountain with a sun.
You will next see a box which says "Edit Image". Post the code in the first line which says "source". Next click "OK"
Your image will be in you post without any links to your photobucket.
......
Had you copied the IMG code and simply pasted it in the posting box, you would get a picture in your post. However, any lines typed below it will be blue and underlined. They will link to your photobucket.

I had hoped to have the HOn30 boxcab to this point for last weeks WPF, but the real world got in the way again. So here is the boxcab as of today. Painted with decals and window glass. Still needs the decoder, lights, some more weight, engineer figure and a bit of weathering, but the end is in sight at last.

95% finished on my freelanced switcher.
Needless to say, the WPF thread is my favorite.
(My Model Railroad, My Rules)
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).
I am a little intimidated by all these pictures and videos of layouts I can only dream of.
My contribution to this weekend´s WPF is rather humble in comparison.
A friend donated this little HOn30 critter, which made a thorough test run on a temporarily set up loop of N scale Minitrix track:
It´s a Liliput (Bachmann´s brand for continental European trains) V 11 0-4-0, which runs like a charm!
A quick & dirty video:
Nice video, Bear, and that's an impressive quarry, Mike, and nice job on the ore cars, Garry. An I1sa leads a freight across Hammer Creek.
I did a video of my layout and posted it in the MR Video Section

Also Finished the Install of a Wow sound Decoder In a Mantua 2-6-6-2 logger
and completed a couple of log cars and finally have a use for my Bobber Caboose

Bear .... Nice engines in the video.
Mike L.... I really like the quarry
Rick .... The covered hoppers look great.
Here is a train of ore cars. It has a mix of cars made by Walthers, Roundhouse, and AHM. The AHM cars are larger than the others, and I completed upgrades of each one in the past couple of weeks. The AHM cars now have Kadee couplers mounted on the car frames, Walthers ore car trucks, and Kadee blackened metal wheels.
Currently, Northern Pacific F-units provide the power. In the first photo you can see the steel mill's ex-GN Baldwin switcher and a Burlington SD7 which will assist with transferring the ore cars to the steel mill. Meanwhile, GN F-units have a train with mostly boxcars.
Bear, nice doubleheaded action, if you had a real steam engine from the PRR you would not need two locomotives for that train.
Mike, I sort of liked the bright white marble in the quarry!
Nothing new this week, still working on some projects and various tax returns over the weekend and all week. So some old photos from the library! These are all Exactrails Evans 4780 Covered Hopper Kits I built.
I especially did this car as the original factory decorated car had the incorrect color stripe on the car. After the furor Exactrail did release the car with the correct color stripe. Instead of the Bright Green they did a Mustard Green color.
Lousiana Midland car, they did not last long with the railroad and were sold to NOKL after a while.
This was the only car assigned to this elevator with these markings.
I have a few more of these cars to build and need to acquire a few more for the decals I do have.
See you all later!

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!
Wot? A WPF without any pics?
Nice video, though, Bear. That train needs to find a grade with all that power up front to really let it all hang out, but looks very good.
Been getting ready for an ops session tomorrow and very little modeling time this week with a deadline today. But here's a couple of leftovers from recent work. First, I dirtied up my blazing white quarry with some weathering, which worked pretty well.
A nice view of the rock bins, etc, before I finished the conveyor leading in from the quarry beyond...
And a low angle shot before the weathering created a new more mellow looking quarry in the background.

JaBear,
Nice little video Bear. Maybe I'll get some to show later, now that I got my Grandson's R/C Grave Digger body done. Sure the heck brought a big smile to His face.
