Alvie, I love the picture of the passenger train entering the tunnel.  Passenger trains are my favorite.

xploringrailroads, I'm glad to see that you've posted on this thread.  Please keep us up-to-date with your new layout.  Each Friday to Sunday, this thread has the best pictures to give great ideas to other modelers.

Mel, it seems like every week I have say the same thing to you -- your miniature work is amazing.  I love the lighted interiors of the passenger cars.

Renegade, that station looks great!  It will be a highlight of a layout when you're finished.

It's Sunday evening -- if anyone has anything to show, there's still time.  Thanks to all for letting us see your work!

Thanks Bear!

They took about an hour each and several repaints to get them looking good.

The waitress’s serving tray itself took almost an hour to get it looking right.



The tray is a 2mm flat washer and the glasses are 1mm optical fiber.  Getting that intricate is tough for old shaky Mel.  Can’t remember how long she took but two hours wouldn’t surprise me, and you can't even see her through a window.

Tanker Toad: That is a wonderful picture of the fan trip.

Peter: Great picture as always. I really like the interior modelling of the fish market.

John: Why is the foam moutain going away? It looks fine to me. Is it in the way of another needed feature?

Alvie: The PENNSYLVANNIA passenger equipment all looks good.

Exploring RR: Thank you for sharing your project in Weekend Photo Fun! I sure hope to see you around a lot more.

Mel: The pictures you took of the passenger car interiors through the windows turned out quite well. That is a difficult image to make.

Renegade: The Union Station sure is coming together nicely.

David: Thank you for the great second picture this week.

JaBear: Thank you for the chuckle. Always appreciated.

See you all next week.

Sorry if I missed anyone.
