Weekend Photo Fun - December 22nd - December 25th, 2023

This is the weekend thread where modelers can show their completed models, work under construction and layout pictures new and old.

Let's have a lot of participation this weekend!

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!

Good morning from cloudy and cool Northeast Ohio!

After a busy previous week, I am back with another couple of models finished up this week.

First up, an Atlas FMC 5077CF Boxcar kit, painted with Scalecoat II ATSF Red, Black and Silver paints and lettered with Herald King Decals.  The Sabine River and Northern was a shortline railroad in Eastern Texas, the railroad and cars were owned by the Forest Products Division of the Owens-Illinois Co. of Toledo, Oh so I had to do a car from that railroad.

Next, an Intermountain Railway ACF 4650CF Covered Hopper kit, painted with Scalecoat II UP Covered Hopper Gray paint and lettered with Islington Station Products decals.  Car was leased to the Freeport Kaolin Company to haul Kaolin Clay to various manufactures of paint, paper, rubber and china products.

Last weekend I took my SP SD45's to the club with a bunch of various SP freight cars.

Thanks for looking!

Hi all. Normally I'm on CTT, but thought you folks might like this video. Filmed during the 2023 Holiday Open House, it is the MD-WV Model Railroad Association 80'x40' layout.

Hi David. Go to You, Photostream, then click on the picture you want to post. On the bottom right of the picture, there is a little icon that looks like an arrow. Click on it, select BBCode, and copy the code into your post body. Let us know if it doesn't work.

 It also helps to keep the size of the image under 1 million pixels

Non modelling activities are still fully occupying my time, so it’s always good to see everyone’s really Good Stuff.
 
So, from the archives…
