Well, I don’t know if you can start WPF 2 weeks in a row. But here it is. This is the loco I’ll be sendin out to Jeffery Wimberly in June.
Looks good! Why are you sending it out?
BTW: Very clear photo! I can see the weathering very well now![tup]
No photos from me at the moment, I can’t wait for the weekend to get some work done, maybe then I’ll get some more photos up![;)]
I’ll pm you the reason Ty.
Because I’m sending him this at the end of this month.
That looks like great conversion to a SP P-8.
Very nice photo Dave! I love those fences between the tracks![tup]
Nice engine New Haven. I have spent most of the week assembling 14 Humpyard levers and scratchbuilding a mechanism to opperate my turnouts with a lighted revolving switch stand. It has been an interesting challenge. I did add a coat of dark paint , some ground foam and some road bed to the new section. It looks better and will be ready for track as soon as I get the kinks out of the switch stand mechanism.
Before and after - what a little paint and some ground foam will do.
Great start, Art. Should look great when finished. I wish the Walthers roundhouse had been available when I started my engine terminal because I think it is better looking than the Heljan and approximately the same size. A peninsula is a great place for a TT because it allows views from all sides. I placed mine inside a corner curve and I don’t have quite as much access. Maybe I’ll redo it someday if I can figure way to fit it in without taking up too much aisle.
Thanks, I’ve been waiting for someone to start this this week. I got some work done last week but didn’t get the pics in time for last weeks.
Here’s the latest update to my coal yard. It’s slow in developing but it’s getting some progress.
Here’s my GP-9’s, Pwd/Dummy. And a Proto1K CR boxcar in green and a CR 100Ton hopper, but the pic is junk so I’ll have to take another. Can’t wait to weather all of these.
Art, the roundhouse peninsula looks really good. Amazing what an impact a bit of paint and some ground foam can have!
Here are a couple of rail-fan shots off the layout taken this week. An old Athearn SD custom painted and detailed ( not by me) crossing the stream with a small consist.
The Western Pacific hopper in this shot was weathered using cheap oil paints following the techniques on the Scotty Mason weathering freight car DVD’s. It was my first attempt at using oil paints and I have to say that I think it creates some very nice rust spotting and streaking. It takes a long time to dry, but the results are good IMO.
I love the imagery, Gentlemen. Thanks for them!!!
Here’s eastbound R396-24 auto parts train passing through Coal Fork Jct. on the Allegheny & Cumberland recently …
Hello This is my little girls layout well we made it over the last weekend. It my not be a model railroad but it sure was fun to play trains all weekend with her. This is one of the smaller tracks we made.
Art [bow] that is all I can say. Great start to the weekend. Have a nice weekend Frank
Thanks! I reposted it below:
Dave,
Please check your PM for explanation and repost your pic. Sorry for the confusion.

Here’s the “new” depot at Lewisport, PA, on the N scale PRR Middle Division:
Art, New r house looks great - why the 2 long stalls? Going to run a pair of Big Boys?[:-^]
I need one of those…
Bought my son a Bachmman Casey Jones for his 9th Birthday, party is tonight. I am hoping we will have some photos for next weekend to post! He has been circling my collection and my test track for a couple of months yet, so I am sure he is open to building his first layout…
