Photo Fun

[Anonymous]

It started as sunday photo fun. It then became weekend photo fun. Now midweek madness. How about we just have one thread open all the time. Post your photos whenever you want to and we can all try and keep it near the front. Something to be considered...[:)]

After a while that's going to become a REAL pain in the rear for those of use who can't get (or don't want - but believe me, I WANT!) a real high-speed internet connection.

Even for those of us that have Road Runner and other high speed connections, going to a topic that has 3 million pages and 4,000 photos to find for each page gets to be a pain. I guess I would rather see something each week. Keep it short and concise. That said, SpaceMouse! Where is this weeks?

This is what the N&W A looks like next to Y3. The rear of the cabs are lined up exactly, dispite how it may appear in the photo.

csxmu,

Nice pics! Who makes that awesome hi-railer I see there? As I'm going to be modeling CSX, I'd like to know where I could find one (I see those exact things around here a lot).

Here's one of some of our new layout. It's set in 1965 on the Rio Grande. I'm thinking of calling it the Wigwam & Western! There really is a Wigwam, Colorado on the Joint Line between Denver and Pueblo.

Some GREAT pics above, this is my layout, the BN Yarrow Valley sub set in an imaginary section of Colorado's Colourful joint line

Here's another of mine. Athearn GP35 is new and needs weathering and detailing.

Nice pics Steve! I'm thinking of doing a "1975 night" so I can run BN green on our section of the joint line. First thing first though, I need to get everything together for D&RGW in 1965. Been burnin ebay up![:D]

just for you GRANDE MAN, SD45T-2

Neat photos, guys--looks like that wonderful Rio Grande disease is catching, LOL! Haven't had much time to work on the train this past week, but I did make a trip to my LHS and came home with a sweet little Rio Grande 583 class 2-8-0, today. I'm going to make her the Deer Creek switcher, and replace that less-than-useless P2K USRA 0-8-0 I mistakenly bought last year. And this little lady was CHEAPER, BTW. Runs like a Swiss watch, and hauls a lot more than you'd expect from the size. I think she's really a cute little critter, what?

Tom, isn't it incredible what a difference a metal body can make [over plastic] in terms of tractive effort!

This week I made a Blacksmith Shop from a California Cardboard and Wood kit.




The blacksmith was a converted hard-hat bricklayer.
