Sunday, uh Weekend Photo Fun

Medic,

That's not slouch by any means.

Grande,

I thought the lights would do it. Very cheap by the way. Just some wheat grains with a beer can cut for a refelctor. Still, the arc welder would be cool.

Good looking enginehouses! I was again turn to Trainz for my picture, as I do not have a physical layout. So, I did manage to catch an F7 A-B-A set pulling out of the SAB Rail Systems Sykesville engine terminal.



Just wait til I have a layout!

Spacemouse, I cant believe we worked on the same kit this week. Although mine is not as good as yours and by no means finished. I cant fully detail it until I actually build my layout. But I thought building it would be better than nothing..lol

I actually have one. But I was saving it for my home layout. I might throw it in there for laughs and giggles, where it is going is a couple years from being built.

I just thought that would look really cool, especially since you mentioned the building is in a darker section of the layout.

This is an engine house I built for my club. It's kind of in a dark corner about 8 foot from the edge of the table.

Hey Space, nice job! You know what that engine in for work brought to mind for the engine house? An "arc welder" lighting circuit board. Not sure who makes it but that would really set your work off!

Aggro,

I'm going to dirty up that bright shiny Geep just as soon as I get sound in it.

Although the roof racks you see in the engine house is an E7 the other engine, which all you can see is tender, is an M1A Mountain. All my home engines are steamers (except Lil Guy and Sparky.)

We have a very eclectic club.

Wow, it's the weekend again, and we've already got some great pics up!

Here's a few of our latest:

Mountain meet! Railfanning has it's magic moments and this one was worth the long, rugged hike.


Close up of P2K GP7. The "rock work" behind the engine was done with an old toothbrush in wet plaster.


A shot of the Geep and an SD7 in a mountain cut.


GP30's struggle upgrade with a coal train. The dark area over the lead unit is a basement support that's painted to match the backdrop. The differing light made it show in the photo.


30's on standby during a lull in the action at Mine 4.

Mouse, love that engine house!


Although I'm a diehard steam enthusiast, me layout isn't 100% steam.


Here, my trusty P1k F3A&B pull a short block of reefers on the lowerline. One of the best $45 I ever spent.


SP Trainmaster #4803 and its train awaiting take off,
while a 'Back to the Future' modern freight thunders by on the high line.

How about a Shey/Shay not sure, coming down a hefty grade.

MDC noisy not very smooth but gets the job done. A short line on my RR,
J&M short line named after 2 sons.

It's been a while since I had anything.

This is an engine house I built for my club. It's kind of in a dark corner about 8 foot from the edge of the table. I had to crawl on my belly on the passenger yard and under the upper deck to get to the detail work. To get the photos to show at all I had to bump the brightness to 100%. There are two figures that I made into maintenance guys out of news paper boys. Does everyone have about 12 more newspaper boys than they need or is it just me?
