Good morning train fans. Here’s the way I deal with dust. I built this last week for some of the more expensive engines, and the steamers that are really hard to dust. The expensive part is the glass. Now all I need is another 10 of these…Tim
slow and painful progress in the city corner:
Frank, Lookin good.
Very nice photos everyone! Good to see Santa in that parade. A question for Frank53. Whose backgrounds are you using for the backdrops? I have been mulling over using some and haven’t seen anything geared to O gauge… but then maybe a backdrop doesn’t have to be geared as such? Nice photos though, all, thanks.

Is that a C420?
Nice pics guys, and Jonadel, I like that Santa Boxcar, very nice!
Here are some pictures, that I took of the Polar Express in Dennison, OH
This is a nice train station. F - 7’s pulled the train, one on each end.
The all-too-colorful backdrops on each side of teh corner are HO stuff, called “Instant Building” made by a company called Instant Horizons. I scanned and enlarged tthem 175%. In hindsight, it should have been about 165%. I then printed them on large sheets (love my 17 x 22 printer) and spray mounted them to black foam core. I cut the outline with an x-acto knife. I may separate the individual building and bring one forward and put one back to give more depth. I also intend to install some HO goosenecks over some of teh signs and doors to lite it up and make it more realistic. Lastly, I am going to weather the whole thing to tone down the brightness.
In the corner is a photo I got from the Perth Amboy historical society website, Perth Amboy being my old home town. It lets the street keep going and going.

The first two photos were taken at Marion, Ohio where mainlines of the CSX and NS cross. A great railroad town.
Chuck’s photos reminded me I had not ever posted these taken in November of Dennison, Ohio. Another great railroad town.
Nice pics GIZ,
