Jimmy … Thank you for starting Weekend Phto Fun … It is good to see your progress.

Here is an older photo of SD units.
It’s been a while since I posted about my layout, partly because I haven’t worked on it much in the past month, and I’ve been busy.
Painting a “patch-out” for the ADK&LC.
Cabooses line up in Plattsburgh.
Another signals trivia question from the Boothbay Railway Village layout.
ON the double track main line near the Dragon cement plant, why is the lower signal head on the right showing red, while on the left signal the top head is red?
Bonus [tup] if you can say why the left signal is showing yellow.
A good beginning to WPF. Keep them coming guys.
An old photo from the website as I’ve not done anything photo worthy lately. A couple of New York Central passenger trains round the curve at the west end of the BRVRR layout.
Keep the photos and ideas coming guys. Thanks to you WPF is always the best thread of the week.
Well the signal on the right is for the turnout lined to the industry on the left, and as that switch is lined for the diverging (left) route, the lower light is not red and the upper is. The diverging route is generally displayed on the lower light, and the straight route on the top. As the turnout is turnout on the right is lined straight the bottom is red and the top is green.
The yellow indicates that the train needs to stop at the next signal, probable due to another train in the block ahead.
Thanks for starting WPF this weekend, Jimmy [Y] Nice to see the progress on your yard area.
Lots of great contributions here [:)]
I finally finished up a repaint and decal job on this PRR Z74c Business car:

I still have a few details, marker lamps, air, signal and steam lines and such to add:

I put some fancy PRR Keystone windows in the “annex”.
I’ll post some photo updates of my recent crossing/chemical plant project soon.
Keep the great photos coming, folks!

[tup][tup][tup] Right on, you know your signals!
Well I learned all that from operating at Train Mountain. There the signal work the way I descibed and while all you really need to know is that solid red is stop and everything else is you may proceed, I find it helpful to know what each individual light means and what each color means as it helps you know how the switches are lined without looking at them and were other trains are.
Also thanks to everyone to the great photos in WPF. It is my favorite thread of the week, even if I really can’t post photos!
Jimmy, Thanks for lining-up the WPF, and dry runs can be fun.
Garry, One of my favs, especially the rock strata.
Harrison, Does appear that those cops need some accent glue to keep them from lying down on the job.
Ed, The business car is beautiful and the venetian blinds are a really nice touch.
Thanks to all the contributors and viewers, have a good weekend and regards, Peter
Some ‘‘first time’’ offerings
Excellent! [Y][Y][Y]
Hope to see more [:)]
Regards, Ed
Thank you Sir,
I had always assumed that the posts here had to show a train,or some part thereof. I started to notice thats not true. I decided to offer what I had. Its more fun if you can share.
Thanks for running this week’s version of a favorite thread!
This photo is from the past…

I don’t. I had no idea what any of that meant.

Impressive Isaac.

Uncle Butch: I love your center picture of the yellow truck with the blue fender. Great start! Please keep sharing.

I went to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga today. I hoped they would have model train display I could get pictures of, but this was all they had:

At least it is fun!

One reason I decided to post the question was to inform.
A bit weary from dealing with my gall bladder this week (it has been evicted, thank you, and feeling much better already), so I won’t review all the fine offerings this week. I managed to get some pics of narrowgauge equipment that one of our long time division members gave us as a bequest. It will operate on one or more of the 3 HOn3 modules (plusthree more in On30, HOn30, and N scale!) that we also received.
Bob Miller’s narrowgauge creations apparently appeared in MR at some point according to another long time member. We going to try to track that down, then we can look it up in the nearly complete run of MR he left us. Here’s a couple of his cars.
There are about 2 dozen cars like these, part of Bob’s Loon Lake Line.Most are seen here sitting in cassettes, inlcuding about a half dozen standard gauge ones.
This was his most scenicked module.
We do have several boxes full of scratch- and kit-built structures to populate things.
We’re trying to track down more info to know more about how this local narrowgauge pioneer pursued the hobby when everything narrow was hand-crafted.
Thanks to all who contribute!
Good morning from partly sunny and hot Northeast Ohio, temps in the 90’s yesterday with more expected today.
Jimmy, thanks for starting us out, looks rought right now but it will turn out for you in the end.
Garry, even old pictures look great with Burlington SD Units!
Harrison, nice to see you posting again, can’t wait to see that PVC pipe done as a model.
Alan, thanks for posting, even an old photo looks good with NYC power.
Ed, How do you get so much done, oops I forgot your retired.
Uncle Butch, thank you for your first time post, good modeling and pictures.
Mike, sorry for the gall bladder problems, looking forward for some of your layout pictures in the future.
Got a couple of cars done this week while working on the Plastics Plant.
Exactrail Evans 5277 CF EP Boxcar Car Kit, painted with Scalecoat II Silver and White Paints and lettered with Herald King Decals. Always wanted to do this car, as I saw the prototype just after it was delivered on the CP in Field, BC. Car was assigned to the CP in Huntington, BC where I believe it was hauling forest products.
Intermountain, ACF 4650 CF Covered Hopper kit, painted with Scalecoat II UP Covered Hopper Gray paint and lettered with Herald King Decals. Car was delivered in 1966 accounting for the paint scheme and was used in grain service assigned to the C&NW in Cheboygan, WI.
[oX)] And I don’t feel one bit of remorse [8D]
Love those FL9s [Y] really looking forward to the EP-5 Jets, soon, I hope.
Here’s the promised peek at the development of the so-far un-named “Chemical Plant”. This was all inspired by the addition of the roadway crossing in the lower foreground.

I’m beginning to like the arrangement of the buildings and trackage.
You can see the original plywood cut-out for the once-planned turntable (1995!) I think I’ll add another crossing where the bare wood is which will be the road to reach the shipping dock on the main building.

Recently I’ve been working on the Walthers tank car unloading platform. A good, basic kit that lends itself to some upgrades.

Great stuff as always folks! Plenty of weekend left — keep 'em coming!
Regards, Ed
Well the weekend is in its final day, but I’ve been busy taking a few photos of my trains!
Here’s the picture I just posted in the Show Me thread!
I had a lot of fun taking these pictures. The dirt in the forground is some real dirt I attached to some cardboard with slightly diluted white glue to test out some scenery techniques. It also works well to hide the fact that my layout is really just a plywood central!
Here’s another photo I took of a freight with a GE u28c as a trailing unit passing a short local under Alco RS1 number 801:
I messed around with some of the settings on the camera I used to make this black and white shot that I guess may be a bit more typical of my era:
And this final one has a bit different lighting that the first! I personnally like it the best!
Thanks for looking, keep the photos coming, we still have one more day in the weekend!
