I have posted several pictures in my layout thread. Instead of eating up bandwidth I'll just provide a link.[:D]

You know Mike, not only is your weathering excellent, your scenery and background definately add to the picture. [tup]

Okay, I pulled the picture quote, though I was always under the impression that a browser will only load 1 image if it's a duplicate, at least that's how it worked in web dev work.

As for me...

The WC hopper I'm working on: The extra rust streaks were my only hope in covering the scrapes up. I think it turned out pretty well.


Overall view.






Close-ups of body rust.


Close-up roof shot. My other two roof shots were blurry.

Matt,

That came out nice. You're improving in leaps and bounds. Keep it up.

Joe,

It's gone. I'm making it a point to not post prior to - or during - the selling process.

Hello,

Your shots look great of your RR. I am looking for an article on walk thru bridges for layouts. I saw something in the past few months in one of the Model RR magazines. Any thoughts?

Bump.

I have an eye infection, so I am going to my eye doctor. If it's suddenly quiet in here, then you'll know why.[:P]

My face seriously looks like this: [B)]

Looking good, Jon! I really like the BW shots. Very prototypical time-wise.

WooHoo!!! Jon, I love the Birmingham Southern GP38! That's one of my fav RR's and is located close by. I've railfanned it with LGM for years and seen the 38's in action many times. Do you have the book, "The Birmingham Southern, the First 100 Years"? If not, it's a great read. The author works for the same company I do.
