If I quote some one I just right click over the words and copy, then paste into my reply.

Two possible reasons:
(1) When somebody does a "quote" response, they quote the original poster's ENTIRE response (including the embedded images); or
(2) Some people use a regular-sized photo as part of their signature so it always [re-]appears.

Some people quote a person before responding. In the case of Aggro's weathering, that means his photos appear quite often.

I think that this practice of quoting photos is an incredible waste of bandwidth. When you quote someone, delete the pictures. IF not you are virtually eliminating people with dial up from seeing many of the pictures. Not that I don't like Aggro's work, but his series of multiple pictures does not have to grace every page a couple times.

Nice photos folks.
I would love to have that Walthers factory on 1:29th scale.
Aggro Jones, You need to do some cars in Largescale, I am always impressed.
I'd like to sit through a clinic with you.[:p]

I would if I had some large scale cars to do. Then I could get even more intricate over the huge working surfaces.

Cat Tom that is one nice loco, i'd be tempted to leave it in polished brass, and at five pounds i guess it will out pull the P2K you got[(-D]

BWA-HAAH! Steve, I've got an old Roundhouse 0-6-0 that will out-pull the P2K I've got!!
Actually, I think I might look up a custom painter for the MT-3 after I get the mechanism tuned up a little. The open frame motor in this baby is a MONSTER!

Actually Patrick, there's also RexHeacoch of northern Alabama - he's an avid steel modeler too. Used to post here a lot, but ever since the lockdown last October, he spends most of his time over on the Dark Side.

As usual, top-notch work by the usual "suspects"![:D]

I have nothing to contribute in 1:87 this week, but I did snag a little 1:1 action at my friendly neighborhood grade crossing. Many of you probably already saw these GE War bonnet pictures I posted. Well, here are pics of some of the trailing units in that consist: (1) a road slug (ex-GP35) mated to (2) a very worn-out-looking GP40-2. uspscsx, since you've already mastered frieght car weathering, wanna make #6448 your next project?[;)]

The lighting here was horrible (nothing I ccould do about it though), so my flash went of and caused the reflector tape to glow way too bright...

[doctorwayne]

Boy, this site is slow!
Just a note to Eddie Landreth: great looking buildings, your rework of the packing plant is especially nice. The blast furnace is good too, but you need way more lights. These things run 24 hours a day and are lit up like a Christmas tree, mostly for reasons of safety.

Here's a weathered container:


I also have a new addition to the family-Another cat. We were at chruch, and there was this stray trying to get in.(Actually did get in once)We decided to bring it home. It looks to have tabby in it. It's only a kitten, and appears to be a male.

Art, looks real fine and congrats!

[ARTHILL]

Nice engine twhite. The new Climax finaly arrived at the logging site. I took it to my club's loco contest and won best of show. Small contest but my first ever blue ribbon. The loggers like it also.



Also got the truss bridge installed. Now I need to decide what it is crossing. However the Sierra like crossing the bridge.





I also started on Sublime Mountain. So far its just some blue foam. Maybe next week or next year.

[railroadyoshi]

Michael Krieser, nice work!

twhite, nice buy!

Scott, i'll never be able to put in the detail you do.

[Tom Bryant_MR]

Picked up this photo of a rock/gravel train in the Round Rock, TX area on Saturday.



Also, attended the demise of a LHS, however, was able to grab 38 pieces of Atlas flex @ $1.84 ea. And snatched up 6 Model Power structures for 50% off plus a load of styrene.

I finished my rebuild Frateschi EP-4 this weekend, a few details are missing, but over all its done:

[twhite]

Okay, went to the Roseville model railroad show today. Looking for some HO mining cars--yah, sure!! Couldn't even find any N-scale European 4-wheel gondolas I might adapt.
BUT---walked past this table. Staring me in the face is this incredible, gorgeous, brass Southern Pacific MT-3 4-8-2. Took a close look at it. Took a CLOSER look at the price. It's an old KTM imported by Max Gray, probably in the late '50's or early '60's. Nice detail. Hefty. Really sweet. Took another gander at the price. Was the guy SURE he wanted to let it go for that amount? I mean, I've spent less for pizzas for a family reunion, for Criminy sakes--!
It's mine, mine, MINE! The loco weighs FIVE POUNDS!! And it's HO!! And it runs really SMOOTH!! And I know I don't have enough PFE reefers in my collection for it to pull--
it's so SWEET!!
Here she is.




Painting to come later, after i've finished drooling.

Some folks don't like to weather, but man does it look realistic.

BMTRAINS, you should recognize this locomotive...After all, it's based off your design.[;)]

How in the heck do you do something that good in MS Paint? It really is incredible.
