This is my smallest locomotive, it is also my first HO scale locomotive.  I bought the MDC 0-6-0 kit with paper route money in 1951 at the ripe old age of 14.
 
 
 
It’s been repainted several times and been through a serious remoter including the installation of a Sound Decoder.  Still runs perfectly and sounds great.
 
How about a kitbashed steam locomotive.

Denver Midland 2-8-0 No. 126 with a work train.

Photoshopping includes the mountains; the smoke and steam; the engine number on the cab and number plate; some of the rust on the rails; and the brown hill at right rear.

Show me some more photoshopping?

G Paine, "More Photoshopped images please."

An early effort. Regrettably I haven't gotten much better at manipulating images.

More Photoshopped images please.

Does a pool count for a water scene?
 
 
 
Anyone else have a pool on your layout?
