JaBear- that's a cool layout, and a 1:1 train in the background!

tbdanny- neat little steamer.

Ed- Nice looking passenger cars

Rick- I like the coil load.

 

I actually got a bit done this week. It started by ripping out the mill track and scene...

And yesterday I re-kitbashed the recieving building.

 

You can read about it in depth here:

Good morning from cloudy, mild and rainy Northeast Ohio!

Bear, thanks for starting us out, interesting display, still am not enamored with the European locomotives and rolling stock.

Danny, nice seeing your completed locomotive on the track.

Ed, you can just send those cars over to me, I have enough K4's to handle some more trains.

 

Since I did that 60' WM car a couple of weeks back, I decided to use some more of that Microscale WM sheet, 50' AAR Branchline Boxcar kit, with new 9' doors painted with Scalecoat II Boxcar Red paint.  The R on the side designated cars with roller bearing trucks. Could not find out where the car went in Hagerstown, MD as there were a number of industries that could use a car with DF2 loader systems.

 

 

Keeping with my PC modeling of late, a Tangent G43 kit that started with the PRR and continued with the PC making over 4,000 of these gons on the combined railroad. Car was painted with Floquil PC Green and Rust Paints, then lettered with Dan Kohlbergs decals for this car.  Loads were Tangent Coils.

 

 

This will be the last new picture from the club layout, as the Strongsville Historical Society has closed the site due to the ongoing crisis. Last week I took my 4 completed DT&I 4600 CF Covered Hopppers with some assorted Landmark Covered Hoppers to the club pulled by my favorite GP38-2's.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments last week, and thanks to all who posted last week, it was one of the largest postings we have had in a while.

 

Thanks for looking!

Excellent start to a fine weekend, Bear! I think every railway station should have a coin-op model railroad

Earlier this week I had the airbrush loaded with some Tuscan red Scalecoat paint:

Thanks again for starting things off, Bear!

That's a nifty display.

I managed to run some trains last night.  My latest build, no. 3, pulled its first train in revenue service:

Had what my wife calls a 'proud train dad' moment .

Please feel free to post any model railroad related photos here — past or present. This is a place to share photos of your layout, equipment or current project.

Haven’t started a WPF for some time now but my daughter thought I would get a kick out of these photos she took while transiting through the main railway station in Leipzig on Wednesday. She was right, I did get a kick out of them.
