Thanks for starting a new WPF, Jimmy!

My photo was my first attempt at a small intermodal yard. I wasn’t happy with how it turned out, so it is now gone. Another yard is planned on the layout at a different place. Some of the containers were 3-D printed by my son-in-law.

Is this photo of the now removed intermodal yard because it looks pretty good?

Thanks! This yard is no longer there. I didn’t like where it was on the layout. Always changing things!

Thanks for starting this weeks WPF, Jimmy.

Young Jimmy Marston is still changing the wheel on the wagon. Five years he has been at it. Even Max the guard dog is wandering over as to why it is taking so long.

I’ve decided to change the locale of the layout from the Seaboard in North Carolina to the Pennsylvania RR in, well, Pennsylvania. Probably a branchline off the Pennsy’s Middle District somewhere along the Juniata River.

Okay, that’s not true. I’m not leaving my beloved Seaboard behind. What you see is a Bowser PRR Baldwin that I purchased a while back and then installed a LokSound decoder and a sugar cube speaker. The plan was a module based somewhere on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where my family comes from, with some sort of waterfront or river crossing scene. That never came to fruition, so I’m probably going to sell the Baldwin. I got it out today to test it and revert the decoder settings back to the standard sound file for a future owner. Still runs great!

Oh man!

Bought a 3D printed kit from Mr Craft structures cleaned up a little flash and got little more than half primed. I think i’ll add some stuff in the build to make it"mine",but all in all pretty neat building.
