That is just awesome! That's exactly the type of effect I'm trying to achieve on my Cedar Branch & Western. Any chance of emailing me a high resolution picture? I'd love to have it for inspiration!

Great stuff from the beginners and from the old heads as well. Here's a little video for your amusement...
And some stills...

Most of us have seen the pictures and videos from Walthers, but it's nice to see someone who actually has one.How do you like it? Is it really easy to get the containers on and off the cars and put them where you want them, or does it take six months of training as an apprentice before you can handle it comfortably?How easy was the assembly?Please keep us posted on your progress as you build this into your layout. Thanks.

Hi MisterBeasley,
Delayed response sorry working 10-4 shifts at the moment. It is pretty good! No real amazing amount of training to get going. It is quite easy to get it going and load containers, the only thing is on lowering the container it can tend to twist a little on the way down. But it gives you a challange to turn thr container on the way down.
It was very easy to assemble, I did glue the base sheets down as my layout can get a little warm and wanted the base to stay down as I guess it will tend to lift as you just push the sheets down onto the base.
Regards,
Nige.

A lot of fallen flag stuff coming through.
I see a lot of DW&P passing my house on the Charlevoix RR (a CN-owned short-line east of Quebec City, Canada). It's very often coupled with CN and CV equipment.
The Ontario Northland is still around after 105 years. Owned by the government of Ontario and headquartered in North Bay, they offer both passenger and freight rail services throughout northeastern Ontario and northwestern Quebec. They also offer passenger bus and telecommunications services to the region. For information... : http://www.ontc.on.ca/index-e.htm
I was having a bit of trouble with my camera Sunday and it was kinda dark and rainy, but here's what I caught at Whitehall, NY (CP/D&H):
At the old D&H station (no longer standing):
Unusual all SD40-2 lashup (5 units actually), these days we see mostly GE units
From the Whitehall Amshack Station:
Only about 18" clearance for those double stacks!

Nige,
That's like an operation station all by itself. You could keep busy load and unloading cars for the switchers.

Nice photos by the way everyone.

Wow Guys! There are some top shots here and some great work.
Just a few pics of the new Heljan Container Terminal Installation
bought a pair of P&LE stewart u28b's a couple weeks ago.. (un)fortunately they came with black handrails so i had to do some painting.. was a busy weekend so i only got the one painted...
CSXFan,
Great photos!
They bring back a lot of memories. As a kid I lived in Saugatuck, about 10-12 miles down river from New Richmond. My friends and I used to take our 16-foot Thompson up river to New Richmond. No mean feat then, the river was always very low in the early 60s.
We would sometimes go ashore and watch the trains. No BNSF then.
Thanks for the memories.
Remember its your railroad

Been working on a new location for one of my industries. By adding a new crossover between two sides of the layout I was able to relocate some track work and have a new Location for the Chemical Company. It's a little bare yet, lots to do.

It's always gratifying to start covering up plywood once your track is in, and functioning properly. Looks like a good start!
Cheers
I spent a few hours today finishing up the benchwork for a customer's railroad. It will be an 11'x13' folded dogbone with a small island for a town in the center.....I still need to attach the legs and backdrop supports before transporting the benchwork to its new home.

Research; it's not just for geeks.
Very little MR time this weekend.
Here is a Wwoodland scenics mini scene that I have been working on. It is not in its final resting place on the layout as yet.

I agree. And as you keep working ot it, it will only get better.

Just my thoughts, ideas, opinions and experiences. Others may vary.
HO and N Scale.
After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Great stuff as usual guys and gals! I learn a lot from this thread!
I've been working on my team track office/shack lately. I added a few decals, opened the door, installed the glazing and lighted the structure. As a finishing touch, I put a 'supervisor' figure on the step.
The 'boss' it thinking something over.
The same scene at 'night'.
Finally, I have been trying to make some of AggroJones' pine trees.
This one doesn't look too bad. Some of the others are a little too cylindrical.
Keep up the good work everyone! You are always inspiring.
Great photos, all. This is one of my favorites places to get ideas. Nice use of snow, Jon.
Here are a couple of our projects this weekend.
Larry painted my rocks, and also did the portal and retaining wall pieces.

So...? Just do it. Start over... Tearing down an old pike only hurts for the first 5 minutes. After that, it's nothing more than an obstacle in the way of a new and improved pike.
I've always disliked the pre-molded anchors that came on this RTR flat. It had a really plastic looking boat on it which I gave to one of my grandsons. You get what you pay for.
Yesterday another friend had a similar problem, so, when I got home last night, I pulled out the zona saw, repainted the deck a lighter grayish color. I used the zona saw to score new lines across where the anchors were removed. An Xacto works better as I found out ... a little too late. Anyway. I like it better.

First bit of scenery on the new layout. Slow progress, but it's nice to see something other that plywood!
Nice work to the guys that posted.
For the rest of us, this is the wimpiest WPF in a while. Sunday afternoon and still page 2?
Well, I don't have a lot of craftsmanship to show off, but here is the most satisfying thing I've done in a while. I ripped out all my EZ track.
If I get a base coat on my back drop. I'll post it.
With the impending closure of the old Railimages site, I have been transferring across a few of my old photos to the current site.
Here area few scratchbuilt buildings on my old 'double-O' layout Hudson Road.
Not a single piece of rolling stock in sight.
