AMTRAK AMD 103 #120 is one of a pair of these locomotives on the BRVRR locomotive roster.
More modern locomotives please.
Remember its your railroad

Since there has been no answer to the junction request in 24 hours, I am dropping back to the most modern locomotive on my roster.
GE C39-8's which I just acquired, prototype delivered in 1984 and are the newest engines on my roster. my cutoff is prior to these, but I use them on the club layout.

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!
A GP38-2, the most modern loco on my roster.
Show Me more junctions please.

Show me the most "modern" locomotive or rolling stock on your roster.
There are several tools inside the beat up old shed, and you can see a shovel and a broom in the scene.
Please show some workers .

The barrel at the front of this work car is full of hand tool's.
( shovel, Sledge hammer, pry-bar, Ax ... Ect.
Their "In transit" from point A to point B. ( does that count as "in-use"?
Let's see some more tool's ... ( Extra credit for anything with a small motor. Weedeater, Tiller, Chainsaw, ... ECT. )
Rust...... It's a good thing !

Pick, check. Shovel, rake, fork, check (The guy second from left has a spade and a pick).

I had a fork lift photo ready, too, but I wasn't quick enough!

Things are stagnant in this thread for a day, then things happen very fast!
So, show me more hand tools or garden tools in use...
Here's a fork lift! This special load better get a proper tie-down, perhaps using some of youngs Stevens new found talents, or it will be into the chemical tank in front next time the engineer spots a Tim Hortons.
Please show me a man with a pick.

How bout' some forklifts, thanks, Peter
24 hours, time to move on.

Any more kitbash/modified models out there?
Another kitbash, albeit a fairly simple one. An MDC MILW style boxcar worked into one of the rare WP appliance cars. Keep with the kitbash stuff guys!

You asked for a kitbash and here is one!
In the mid 60's the NYC converted a large number of 50 Ton Twin Hopper cars into 65 Ton Twin Hopper Cars with extended sides and ends. I used a McKeen 100 Ton Triple Hopper and cut out the middle bay to get the car above.
Another picture next to a standard 50 Ton Twin Hopper.
More Kitbashes please!

I hope this qualifies: NYC SW8 #9622 with the Grafton Turn at the west end of the BRVRR layout.
More small switchers please.

Little Bulldog Mack... also qualifies as "under construction".

BigDaddyFrom one of your other pics, you have the led and resistor, and then you run those between the bare copper?
Yes, exactly. I used a black and red Sharpie pen to place little marks on the wire to keep track of plus and minus.
Many of the LEDs are grouped in series, say three outside wall lamps are all in series. I tested a variety of resistors between 540 to about 2.2KΩ to get a nice amount of light.
Fun project. The end results were worth it.
Thank you, Ed
The ground foam is drying and the Holtgrewe bridge is in place for a test fit.

Thanks Ed, the drain pipe is an excellent solution to hide the wires.

I have some of those spring connectors, haven't used them yet.
BigDaddyEd how and where to you connect the roundhouse lighting wiring to the lighting bus?
Hi, Henry.
The first thing I did was run a pair of bare copper "buss bars" tucked into the truss work and along each side wall of the roundhouse:
RH_mains by Edmund, on Flickr
The feeders to this buss were run from the floor to the ceiling inside a pipe made to look like a roof drain pipe. You can see the white/blue + wire and white/brown - wires coming out of the top of the pipe on the far right in the photo.
Here are the LEDs all lit up. 87 of them if I recall correctly.
RH_lights3 by Edmund, on Flickr
I measured and located the hole through the sub roadbed and threaded the wires to below the layout as usual.
Lately I've been using these "spring" connectors for lighting and Tortoise wiring.

They are very handy, in my estimation, anyway.
Regards, Ed
This is the Boothbay Railway Village roundhouse and servicing area a few years ago
and last June, much more complete, but still in progress
Show me some in progress projects
My layout under construction.
More layout constuction please.
Well, I will add my RH as well. My feeders are hooked up at the end of the rail on the inside. For my lighting, I am experimenting with copper tape stuck to the ceiling. Once the soldering is done the tape and solder joints can be painted.
More in progress shots, please.
countsrr More work in progress
Here is a work in progress repurposing project, in which I have been using bits of wood to fill in the gaps of a stock car and will be using the decals to convert it to a MOW tool car for the Balfour and Colucci Creek Southern.
Let's keep this work-in-progress trend going!
Check out the Balfour and Colucci Creek Southern Railroad, my proto-freelanced N scale model railroad, at bccsrailroad.weebly.com or on Youtube on my channel, N Scale Train Boy.
