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 don't have any "fresh" photo because I have been working so many hours plus doing changes on the RR before winter.

Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?

Long live Outdoor Model Railroading.

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

Eddie Landreth, awesome lighting.

Scott, if we are doing locomotive releases, here is Yoshifriend Corps newest release, the SN-2500-E



Awesome new car Scott!

Here is a video I took near the local MBTA station. (for those of you who remeber my plan, it is the area facing Erickson grains from the other side of the tracks.)

They're decals.


No decals. Just magic.

Graffiti decals alway tend to look like decals. And they have trouble maintaining their apperance when you wrap them around cars with ribs.

Aggro, I could swear that we had a conversation about grafitti and you said you used decals.

Did you use the once?


I use ONE decal on ONE car, two months ago and it didn't look too well. My graffiti is done by me hands....

Great work and photos as always! I haven't done a whole lot this week that is photogenic, but here are some of new items for the layout.

Girder Bridge that will be part of river crossing and road crossing on a new area of the layout. Campbell Scale Model Kit. Worked on it off and on for two weeks. It is almost finished, just need to add the guard rails. A lot of cutting and fitting, but mostly waiting for the glue to dry so you can get on to the next part...



Some of the interior detail that I am starting for the inside of the Roundhouse. The wooden workbench is scratch built with some tools for detail added. The Orange bench is a (commercial) resin casting.



Ray Seneca Lake, Ontario, and Western R.R. (S.L.O.&W.) in HO

We'll get there sooner or later!

Here is a shot I got last week by pure dumb luck.



I just wanted a shot of the flat car (I tried to weather it) but ended up with a decent night shot. The light in the window is just a reflection of the flash. The building is not wired.
