Thanks for starting another WPF, Jimmy!

My N gas station was another early attempt at scratch-building. One day I’m going to redo the gas pumps and add a few other ‘junky’ things to make it look better. Peter’s gas station has inspired me to become better at this.

Nice work folks.

Jimmy: I like that car! But the company maintenance folks really need to look at that roof :slight_smile:

John: Nice picture of Robbie’s stop. The lighting really makes it come alive.

Some CP steam rolling on our club’s layout:

@York1, great work with the lighting! And for a first attempt at scratchbuilding the pumps, those are pretty good.

Lol the building is unfortunately on the railroads demo list, the real one was taken down in 2015… it fits since the real one had roof issues as well :laughing:

Jimmy, Thanks for rolling out the WPF in black and white.

Shooting in low light is fun, changes the atmosphere, softens color and edges, even adds a little noir, but I like how it helps hide my modeling sin.
Regards, Peter

John, Good to see your ‘fuelish’ modeling. I like the pylons, an often overlooked, yet realistic detail. Also reminds me of Rotten Robbie’s the bay area gas station chain.

Little 0.4.2 tank engine bought rather cheaply and runs well out in the hazy sunshine.

David, I always enjoy your “ground level” photos, because there’s often some wonderful greenery and flowers in view.

Good luck tonight, Jimmy.

CSX SD60M leads three GP40’s on today’s stack and TOFC train heading west for Sand Patch

Quite a surprise when the end of the train passed by

Got some work done that I wasn’t expecting to be able to this weekend due to the snow changing plans! Planted my ACI Scanner on the layout and cut out the first wall for my scratchbuild of the Hopewell Junction NY Depot!
