Hi,

 I posted this image earlier in the week elsewhere, but thought I would stick it in here as well.

 This is a piece of trackwork from the Bronx Terminal freight house that I have started to construct.  

 I have more detail about what this place once was on my website, click here to go there.

Cheers!

Hello All,

I have received nice feedback on some of the photos I've posted the last couple of weeks, so I'm trying to pay it forward some and reciprocate. It's a good feeling to be recognized by peers. I find a lot of inspiration and motivation through the WPF threads.Good work here!Smile [:)]

Mr. B-Happy Birthday, and quality shows through in those townhomes!

Alan-Great work, your at a great stage of construction on your layout. It's fun seeing how our visions come to life as we fill out our terrain.

 Selector-Very nice scene, I noticed that it "flows" very nicely.

Loathar-Sweet setup man! I wish I had that much room for nice mainline runs as you appear to have.

Gappleg-Townhomes look good. I appreciated the window shades(they're not all the same color, suggesting different interior decors.

Jeff-Sweet! Thumbs Up [tup]Love the layout. Been following the intermodal terminal, gotta try that soda machine thing! I have a soft spot for modern era layouts.

I whipped up another picture.

The caption is:

"Hey, we got to the station track first!  You take Overton's double-slip since we had to take it last week."

First a couple of pictures of the updated landscaping from Donner Ridge.

And after almost four years, I bolted the two halves of my layout together and have a complete layout.  Five tracks connect the two halves.  All 5 connecting tracks are complete and a couple of Dash 8s can be seen cleaning the track in preparation for tomorrow's official Golden Spike ceremony.

I've actually got some to post this week. Let's see if I remember how to do this.

Finally making a bit of progress now that it's warming up. Can't wait to get a digital camera. Getting sick of waiting on the photo lab.

Looking good! Due to a packed week, I got absolutely nothing done! My mountain has been sanded and painted, needing grass in a bad way, but I dont wanna due it yet. Happy B-day Mr.B!

I like that cozy scene, Mr. B.  I think I may have walked through that neighbourhood once or twice.  Nice work. Approve [^]  And, Happy B-Day [bday]

Here is my lone contribution for the week.  The machine shop is a built-up from Walthers that I painted and mortared.  I wanted the old-fashioned cladding that looked light green for the window panels.  The foundation is white beaded foam painted and weathered, and the front steps are blue extruded foam.

The Limited passing by on high is headed by an NYC S1b Niagara, and going on to points north.

Congratulations ; now you are only 8 years behind me ( will be 9 years later this month though).

Nice looking stoops (fence and yards/building look great also).  Where is a picture of that new loco ?

I am still in basic teraforming on my layout.  Added some talus, weeds and a few trees to the the Arock entrance.
