Time for WPF, as the ‘dog days’ of summer wane here’s to lots-o Model Railroading images being framed. Regards, Peter

Peter. Thanks for starting this weeks WPF, An excellent scene indeed.
Had other challenges this week, so haven’t seen the train room.
I did receive some books though.
One is railway related. The other two are about sailing ships.

Peter, thanks for starting another WPF!
Several weeks ago I went to a small train show. Gulf Western Modular Railroad Society from Corpus Christi, TX, set up their railroad at the show. This was an amazing chemical plant on one of the modules. They travel with this and somehow keep it from breaking into pieces. I think I may have posted this before; if so, forgive my failing memory:

Thank you for starting this great tread of photos.
Last week I was running the train and came across a missing pointi in the turnout.
Since my turnouts are hand-made #4, the rail tension puts a lot of strain on the points.
I decided to modify it to a smoother solution, cutting the points and joining them with rail jointers.
Easy to say, but in practice, I had to remove three turnouts to access it.

David, Interesting titles you’ve got there, and best of all made of paper.
Simon, The rock face makes for a nice backdrop. What type of loco?
Thanks for sharing John, what a dazzling model! All those nice touches, like the telescoping crane, vacuum truck, etc, etc, etc. Gets me to thinking about the various outgoing and incoming rail freight generated by a large refinery complex, of course a myriad of tank cars, then boxcars for packaged products like lube oils, grease and wax. Covered hoppers for catalyst, flatcars for equipment and hazardous waste removal. Can’t help but recall when a major refinery expansion required a scale model of the new plant onsite for reference during construction.
Lussari, Sometimes a little rain must fall upon our track work, but looks like you’re up to the challenge.
Thanks to all the contributors and viewers. Have a good week ahead. Regards, Peter
