I guess I will start it off!!!
The package finally arrived.
Also a weathered up boxcar.
I am almost done with my first AlClad painted passenger car. MEC 244 is an HO scale P-S lightweight from an IHC undecorated kit. The green stripe on the windows photographed lighter that is actually is.
The IHC interior has ben kitbashed and painted to resemble the interior of the portotype MEC coach.
All that remins is to install the lighting kit that is on order, add a few more passengers, and maybe replace the diaphragms.
George … The Coach Looks great! Bravo!
Robby … The weathering look fantastic on the box car.
Below is my fictional GN “Plainesman” operating with running rights on my fictional divison of the Burlington. The observation car has lighted drumhead and marker lights, and (oops) I left a red wire visible in the window of the obs…
Robby, great job on the caboose conversion, and weathered boxcar.
George, nice job on upgrading that passenger car.
Garry, good job on your passenger car, and nice town scene.
This flock of pigeons has Sparky’s undivided attention.
Nice job on the caboose, great looking weathering as well
I have done nothing MRR related for weeks.
Here is a pic just to join in
Nice scene and great weathering as always Robby
Simon I like the track level shot !
Here’s a couple of fishing shots
Now I’ve ballasted the dual gauge turnouts at Silver Creek. Still missing the switch stand and more scenery.
But I’m content with my throw bar.

Still building and weathering the many, many kits and RTR’s I’ve accumulated over the last 20 years or so. The nice thing is that in this time of no jobs, SS checks not going far enough, etc., I still have lots of modeling to do now without having to spend any money. [:D]
Never hurts to “pick up a deal” and put it away for those “stormy” times.
Hope to have a pic or two next week of the old Model Diecasting Roundhouse 0-6-0T kit I’ve started.

Hello, Nice pictures everyone . And here are some of my latest ones. 
Got a somewhat decent shot of the fire chief’s restored Galaxy 500 sitting next to the dept’s beat up crew bus.
I finished building some ballast cars for my railroad. Each car was built out of the small Walthers ore cars. The cars are set up to function in a 2 to 4 car unit (only the cars on the ends have working couplers). Sometime I’ll get around to building loads for them.

Great
great scene grampy. I love the dog. I saw your post about making trees in the other forum. How did you get your decidius trees to come out so round?
Not much can beat a big red Ford with a 427 under the hood. Welcome back, Jeffrey!
Thanks, Mike. If you’re referring to the “bottle brush”, It depends on the way they are trimmed with scissors. DJ.
We are off to a great start once again I see!
I haven’t been doing much of anything photogenic this week. Just finishing some paperwork and waiting to see when my layout can be judged. In the meantime, I started assembling a Tichy Train Group Flat car. I had a box of 6 kits sitting on the shelf so I figured I would get one started.
The parts before assembly:
An almost completed car (still have a few more details to install) waiting to be painted. The shot also includes most of the tools needed to assemble the car. It is definitely not a “shake the Box” kit. It has a lot of very small parts and very fine details. It is very, very well manufactured and comes with excellent instructions. Everything fits where it should, parts are well marked, and no flash to trim or scrape off.
The top of the car:
Bottom detail (very nice brake detail that needs to be fit and installed):
Next step after adding a couple more grab irons is to go to the paint booth…

Yeah the bottle brush you make is sweet. The hardwoods are great looking as well. I like those better than the supertrees. Great Job as always sir!!
