Weekend Photo Fun 28 -30 August 2015

… and now for something completely different:

My Swiss friend Pascal is working on the shore line of his layout showing the Ospizio Bernina Station on the Bernina Line. The layout matches quite closely the prototype location with only a slight selective compreession of the track length.

“Mike, that is such a beautiful engine…that I would be tempted not to paint it…leave it as is, to show off the Brass.”

Thanks,Frank,that thought has crossed my mind more than once. I’ll have some time to think about it while I practice using an air brush - something I haven’t done in years.

Sir Madog: That looks like it’s going to be a great scene. 'Hope you’ll keep us posted on his progress.

I’m redoing this area of my HO layout a bit.Replacing the Santa Fe station with a more appropriate U.P. depot.

Ulrich,

Your friend has quite a nicely done set-up there. [Y]

On another note: I thought I would share with WPF, all the components that are associated with the cab/sleeper truck I am working on…all had to be removed, before stripping paint and repainted. Probably Tuesday…waiting on solvent Enamel…like I should have used in the beginning. Got talked into Acrylic’s and that is what chipped and flaked off…they have their use, But not on a RC Model that is handled a lot.

Take Care, All! [:D]

I had some foriegn power show up on the layout today. The Alaska Railroad ordered some refurbished Union Pacific passenger cars for their tourist trains. The Colorado Railcar company performed this restoration and they are being transported West to Seattle for transport up to Whittier.

If I could figure out how to model the Alaska Railroad with the Rio Grande i would. They are my two favorite railroads.

Great pictures guys, love the brass K-36. I would paint it and put it to work. Have to admit though that the naked brass is beautiful.

Dave, Bear and Mike thanks for the compliments and comments.

Regards, Peter
