No photos this weekend, just got in from a working vacation down south in Santa Maria on the Central California coast (Franciscan Spirituality Conference). Haven't even had time to go out into the garage and see if the layout's still there. Going to spend today over at Best Buy and see if I can come up with an 8-pixel camera, then if I find one I like, I'll go nuts and post some stuff for next weekend. But first, I have to re-lay the track on my curved viaduct--have no idea what happened, but it's all squiggly. Thank God I've got some spare Sinohara bridge-track that holds the curve you set it at. Of course, if I'd done the right track in the FIRST place, I wouldn't be going through this, would I, LOL!
Great photos, guys. Grande man--those shots through the chain link fence are just awesome!
Carl: LOVE that canyon--keep it up.
Steve: Glad to see your Joint Line is up and running--how about some more of those gorgeous Rio Grande locos? You can NEVER have enough Rio Grande, LOL!
Well, better get going--I've still got to unpack.
GREAT PHOTOS, GUYS!!

Hey Tom. Glad you're back online, been wondering why all the cool Yuba River Sub pics dried up.[:D] Get ready to spend some $$$ on a camera for MR photography. I want one too but it'll have to wait till the RR is signaled and the staging is complete.

Steveblackledge-

Those are great photos. I checked out your albums on your site and would love to see more. I'm just starting to develop my layout and am modeling the same era and geography as you, albeit in O scale. Would love to compare notes and pick your brain from time to time.

Great, awesome !!!!!!! Mike you cars are the best i wish i could weather that good. Keep up the awesome work..

oleirish- we have multiple train shows through out the year. I like the ones in the fall twords christmas though, they have more stuff. The new engine runs great. It was marked at $100 but I got it for $50! The picture was taken before I put all the detail parts on it so it looks even better now.

Wow! Mike, that's fantastic! If we had a car detailing contest you'd be in contention for top honors. Thanks for posting it.

I posted a question yesterday about the mine building grande man have in his signature, and as usual I got all help I needed from this wonderful forum. Nice to see your pictures of the same building. Really good looking! I will order one as soon as possible [:D]

[electrolove]

steveblackledge:

I really like your embankments, excellent work!

[steveblackledge]

BILL, that is a great looking sunset shot you have there, you can have fun with different settings and lighting if you give it a try, this is what i took a while ago

Karl, I'm trying to keep ya'll out of "orange overload". That, and the new has worn off the digital camera somewhat. [:)]

Got this the other day. Playing with the exposure.

Check last week's Weekend Photo Fun. Theres some fantastic pictures in there too.

[ukguy]

Excellent work as usual guys, very impressive.

That ridge looks great Steve, I cant wait to see it scenicked

Building up a nice collection of loco's there Cheese, great pics.

Tommyr: I dont think I'll ever tire of looking at that pic in your signature, did you ever give instuctions on how you did the road? paint colouration and so on, if so.. darn it I missed it.

I had the exact same idea for the chainlink too Ken,(as I am sure many have) I got yard of grey and a yard of silver about 4 months ago while i was picking up some dried flowers( for trees) its just sitting on a shelf waiting for me to begin again, hopefully in the near future, $1 each from Wal-Mart !! enough to pretty much fence in the world in HO.

Great view of your canyon AC4400fan.

TrevorG: Margaret Falls sounds like the title of a short murder/mystery amature dramatics production [:D],but you/she was right, it does look great there.

I'm still waiting for the plethera of photo's from you though Grande, and some more of Aggro's layout would be great. Crandell when are you gonna post some more of that excellent mine, and I want to see some of your river please sir.

I'll shut up now.[:D]

Have fun & be safe,
Karl.

Lesterperry, is the power station in the backgound a kit? It is very close to a prototype that I am planning to build. At least the large windows are. It could be a good basis for a kitbash for me. Do you have any details? Thanks

I wondered if that were the case too. Hope he's doing well.

Hi guys! I remembered to take a some pictures this week.

This first one is of the waterfall on my layout. It is named Margaret Falls after my best friends wife who was the person who suggested a waterfall would go nicely there....And she was right!


This one is the backside of the westend of my layout. I just finished laying down some grass so some of the areas are showing white


This final one is of the "Twin Tunnels" at the backside of the East End of my layout (8x4). I've had the tunnel portals forever and finally got the time to install them.


Hope you enjoy my layout and the progress I'm making. I've enjoyed all the great work everyone has posted in the thread over the past few months and have been greatly inspired by all of you.

Lester, Nice pics anyway, great looking website.

Lester,

The problem is that you have a space in your image filename. This site doesn't do well with spaces. Rename your picture on your site and try again.

[steveblackledge]

LEStER, free webs won't work for picture hosting i tried but to no availl so i went with
http://www.picturetrail.com/ which is dead straight forward, you upload your pics, then click "get URL" find your picture, then copy the URL and paste it into this forum but put these in front and behind [ img ] your URL goes here followed by [ / img ] Dont leave any gaps between the letters or it won't work

[lesterperry]

HZRMac www.freewebs.com/modelchessie/ is this what you are looking for?

[NZRMac]

I can normally work this out but your pic is a strange one, you may need help from the pros around here!! Sorry.
It must be a freewebs thing cause the pic properties are basically the same as mine.

Ken.

[NZRMac]

Lester, where are you photos stored, show us a link to your web site.

Ken.
