Weekend Photo Fun March 22-24
Posted by HO-Velo on Friday, March 22, 2024 10:49 AM

"Spring has sprung', or at least the calendar says so.  Hoping to see lots of Model Railroading photos.  

With the weather warming business is picking up at 'Mike's Bikes'.

Have a good weekend.  Regards, Peter

Gidday Peter, no Spring sprunging here!! Laugh
Thanks for getting us underway. I guess that it’s only appropriate that you have a bike shop on your layout.
 
Taken last year at the Taupo Train and Hobby Show was this Gauge 1, 1:32 scale, Swiss “Krokodil.” I find these locomotives rather fascinating.

Looking forward to more really Good Stuff.
Have a Great One, folkes,
Cheers, the Bear.Smile

Nice spring day street scene, Peter, and thanks for opening WPF

Bear, non-steam locomotives are pretty cool.

Finally, some time to post, no time for modeling;

A few shots from the old Eugene Engine terminal, or what's left of it. I got permission, btw.

Not sure what this was for, a couple dynamic break housings on top of screened bins? Interesting though.

   

Stacked Blomberg truck frames inside the shop area, and axles with traction motors, bearings on pallets...

   

Turntable & shanty

  

I have got to get my TT finished.

Still time for more! Dan

Peter, thanks for opening up this weeks edition of WPF. That station wagon sure brings back memories. 

Bear, we have a club member that brings in his croc' from time to time. Does not fit the layout's time and space capsule at all, but it's an odd little creature that's fun to watch.

Great pics Dan. Looking forward to seeing your TT!

I made a bit of progress on my mining scene:

I still have a bit of drybrushing to do before I start gluing some foliage.

Thanks to all the contributors and viewers.  And thanks for the nice comments.

Hey Bear, I tend to forget that not all the world is entering springtime.  The 'kroc' is indeed an interesting and nice looking piece of machinery.

Dan,  The way those housings are sitting does make one wonder.  The shop and turn table photos can be a great aid to modeling and weathering.  

Simon, Seeing your mining scene and progress is fun.

Cycling is good fresh air fun, so too a little fishing with some brew.

Regards, Peter

Nice street scene!  Looks like a "Roadmaster" in the foreground.  I still see some of those around here

"Roadmaster" i

Hey logandsawman, thanks.  A Neo 1976 Chrysler Town & Country.  My late uncle bought a new Buick Roadmaster Estate wagon when he retired in 1991, whole lotta' car.
