I guess I will start us off.

Morning light at Seneca Falls.
Great scene selector. I love the sense of distance. I have a couple of new pics if photobucket will ever upload them.
Since I have my layout down for… ahem… improvements, I offer this mini scene. A couple of buddies swap lies just up the hill from the tracks in the last light of day.
Pertinent info about the image
HO Preisler figures
camera is a 3mp 6 year old Nikon 990
light provided by a 40 watt incandesant bulb in a beatup clamp on style reflector
smoke of campfire only thing added digitally

HO scale
(…in most manic and wild-eyed manner and voice…) that is a really interesting image, Jarrell. I can almost place myself in the dark, climbing up the back side of the hill and entering the glow of the campfire while these two honchos swap stories about last Saturday night in town.
Nice image. [8D]
Thanks for starting it off Selector. Nice scene!
As always, mine is in N-scale. Some light switching in the yard. Background is digitally added.
GO RED SOX!
This was taken at the club.
Here we see a Chessie(C&O) freight setting out some cars for the local switch crew while 3 trains pass on the triple main line…
Out of Yard Limits and heading up the SP’s Coast Route.

Ever felt like you just threaded a bunch of needles? After four hours, I finally got the handrails on my Athearn GP50. Why couldn’t Athearn make these metal monsters so that they would actually fit as intended. I assembled the railing as I went along and had to drill out each and every hole, a pretty good trick when you don’t have a pin vise.
Jeff,Use old goats use the new fandango spaghetti thin handrails which slips into place…
Those old metal ones can be rough to install…
About all I got done this week was to connect the wireing for the lighting of Hopewell Junction. So… here are a couple of night shots of the bandstand area at night.
Great photo Bruce. However you did the background its looks great.
Photobucket got my pics up, finally. I did my first scratch built building in decades. I started with a Walnut tree in Bloomington, had the logs sawed at a sawmill demonstration, cut the HO scale lumber to width on my table saw and to thickness on the band saw. The natural walnut grain looks better than any staining I have done. The building is to be the Shay’s house at the gold mine. I also started an old Campbell kit for the mine itself. I still have to decide the weathering, but that will have to wait until the scene is more complete, as will the roofing material on the Shay shed.
Great start to the WPF guys! [tup] [tup]
Here is my offering for this week!
I finished attaching cork sheet around the inspection pits and eventual flooring for the roundhouse will be concrete painted sheet styrene, here is an image with the Southern loco on the recently wired track:
I added my rock face cut. It isn’t exactly prototypical of the cut at Muir, Montana but close enough for me. The look that I was going for was rocks protruding through the dirt. This marks the first rocks that I have even done. I followed Joe Fugate’s video. Thanks Joe! (Note: Scenery is no where near complete)
Those rocks are just great, Zak! When you add some greenery, and it might be better sparse in this locoation, it will be first class.
I love that scratchbuilt shed, Art. Wow!

I second that hillside Zak. Well done.
That shack is nice, Art. Makes me want to break out my popsicle sticks.
