Well, now the picture shows up but he linked to a thumbnail, so it's too small to see anything....

Cheers,
Smoke,
I just copied what you had in your post and put it in the [ img]...[ /img] format
They still display pretty small.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Jon,
I always enjoy pictures of your layout and projects. You sure do beautiful work. Your detailing skills and the things that you choose to detail always seem to enhance and not detract from the scene. Keep up the great work, Jon!
I think the bar has really been raised on this weekend photo stuff. This would exceed the posting limit to comment on how much I really appreciate and learn from the work everyone is showing. Suffice it to say - really, really, really great workmanship from everyone !!!
Job has me really hopping . Here is my meager offering.
Some recently released Atlas Katy Hart ballast cars. The covered hopper is a Bowser kit I managed to complete this last week. Still have to work on that Katy switcher. The power plant is sitting for effect. Wife plopped those tree armatures from some plant in our yard.
And, there will be some plex along the facia.
Regards,

Where is the Livery Stable/Blacksmiths shop ?
You must have some leftover popsickle sticks to atleast make a corral
Everything else looks great !

CB&Q E Units:
Some modelers asked about elephant style operations with CB&Q E units. I have several E units and sometimes operate them in that fashion. In the first photo, 3 westbound, elephant style running E units meet an eastbound train with 2 back-to-back E units.
Second photo shows an eastbound train leaving Blackhawk. The train will clear the curve as it passes the flour mill, and the engineer will knotch up his controller. Soon aftwards, the 3 E's will be hauling the train accross the prairies at 80 mph.
As you may have noticed, there is plenty of mail and express business on the Heartland Division.

Thanks.
The blacksmith shop is across the street and only needs minor work, The livery will depend a lot on how the mine shakes out as it will take the majority of the remaining space.
BTW: Nice underpass.

Yeah I could get the pictures to show up but they were that small also. I even resized them and they still appeared that small. ever since imageshack changed i haven't been able to post big pics, only the smaller ones.

They may have increased the image size restriction to save space. Railimages.com has a 100K limit per picture. Even so, it seems funny that you can't enlarge the pictures by clicking on them. That doesn't make any sense to me... I don't have that issue with Railimages...

The close end, with the hinges below it, is visible at the close end of the deck girder span...you can just see a gap at the end of the ballast.I think I like the idea of the drop off better. It would have kept those insolent trains in check, just knowing what could happen.

I figured it out.
Hey, that's better. What did you do? Can you make them so that they expand even larger?

If you right click the small pictures and then the large ones, you may notice that the URL is slightly different. I suspect that the small pictures, with ".th." in the URL, are the "thumbnail" pictures from the gallery, while the larger ones (replace th with sf2) are the full-sized shots you get when you click on the thumbnails.

USRA U-3 0-8-0 switcher: NYC #7743
Has a Digitrax DH163L0 decoder in her. Wow! Does she crawl! Found her at a "couldn't be passed by" deal...
just some forrestation of the module :)
I like it, P & LE RR. There is a knack and artistry required to make realistic forestation. I hope to make some headway in that regard over the next several weeks; it is mostly what I have left to do.
Nice work.
I've got my subroadbed laid and the main line for the most part operational.
Here's where i was 2 weeks earlier. Things changed slightly. I decided i wanted some elevation changes which seemed to free up more open space.
Added a hand rail to the Rock Ridge catwalk and some split rail hitching posts. Gotta tie up the horses and keep the Lilliputians from falling off the back of Tater Mountain.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

Crandell,
I'm afraid it's worse than that. Mungo was incapacitated, after getting whacked in the head by a loose chimney stack. (See photo 3.) His partner and long-time associate, Billy Bob, just got off the 9:05 at the Tator Mt. train station.
Billy Boy drools somethin' awful and men, women, children, and animals alike all vacate the premises whenever he mosies into town. The fact that he chews t'backy while he drools is a sight not to be seen by the weak of heart...
Gilligan, don'y you just hate those kneewalls? What are you going to do about the scenery behind the risers? It only looks to be about 6" of room back there and then you get the ceiling.

Great looking Loco Tom
I have 2 Life Like 0-8-0s one with sound one with out
They are my favorites because of their low speed performance
They kinda look like a puffed up bull frog ,full of steam and ready to go
This week's work has been on my intermodal facility. I've got a lot more to do around detailing (i.e. lighting, people, cranes, road signs, and more) but I felt this was a good time to share the current progress.

Yes i hate those walls. Because of them Had to build the bench short and lost some mainline run because i left at least 18in of unused space against the wall. Honestly i dont know what im going to do about it.
