WPF is such an uplifting thread, full to the brim with positive model railroading energy and camaraderie!  

Thanks and regards,  Peter

Good morning

Somehow I had forgotten Kevin when I was paying comments forward yesterday.

I never seen that 0-4-0 S&G Kevin.  I've always liked the 0-4-0's,  mine is a Dockside.  Great job with the custom decaling on the tender.  Good thing you rescued that unique flatcar load from rotting in the farm dirt

I like the class 50 Victorious David.  It's always interesting to see the different variations of RR equipment over the pond.

Cool looking George Bush train Allan.  Great job on the dome car detail.  It's all those little details that make something stand out. 

The Turtle Creek passenger car is looking good Shane  You may need to come up with something to reduce the friction a little bit though

 

Thanks for posting your projects everyone.  See you next weekend.

Thank you. That locomotive is a member of the "prop fleet" because it does not run. I bought it for $1.00 at a train show. I have three different tenders for it, all from junk boxes. Also, the left side is lettered in yellow, and the right side has white decals. It shows up in a lot of my photos, but it changes its appearance as it goes.

THANK YOU...

to all the contributors that made this a great edition of Weekend Photo Fun.

 Gidday Scott, yes, I did solder all the stanchions and railings. I’ve updated the original thread, and hope it makes my methods clearer, not to say that it’s necessarily the best method!

Are you modelling any particular Lake Michigan ferry?

Cheers, the Bear.

 

 

Thanks for the link Bear.   Exactly what I was looking for.  I'm modeling the GTW  City of Milwaukee(2nd one) built in to the standard design of the late 1920's like the GTW Madison or the  PM 23 City of Flint.  MR publish plans back in 1978 so as a 16 year old I put together a cardboard and plywood model that copies the look of the standard Manitowoc boats.  The lower hull contours aren't there and some of the upper decking is a little crude but it has the look of the standard boat.

Like you I figure that I need somewhere between 10-12 ft of railing and you photos helped a bunch.

Thanks again.

...copies the look of the standard Manitowoc boats. 

I bought George W. Hilton’s “The Great Lakes Car Ferries’ to aid my research on the River Car Ferries, but have at least looked at the rest of the pictures, so while I’m pretty much a layman when it comes to naval architecture, the word I’d use to describe the Great Lakes Ferries, is “Blunt”!

Good luck and have Fun!

 

A BIG THANKS to all the contributors for sharing your really Good Stuff.
