Phil,
Thanks!. I’m actually way ahead of the Durango & Silverton, as DL-535Es have been running to Silverton on my layout for years. Found out the D&S was getting some of their own (buying 4) from the WP&Y in the latest edition of the Gazette. There are narrowgaugers who don’t like diesels, but I do.
Mike
Mike: I love the scenes on your layout, and I like your narrow gauge deisel locomotive models.
Phil: Yes, it will be a 4-10-0, but the model started its life as a 2-10-0! It will ultimately be another project for the ages. Thank you for the information on the foil tape. At some point, I am going to give the self adhesive stuff a try.
Simon: Thank you for the clearer photo of the Rivarossi tender model. It helps, and it looks good.
Peter: Your scene is a beauty as always. Thank you for sharing. I do not remember seeing that one before.

Kevin, thanks for the WPF kickoff. Everyone has shown great examples of modeling, plus some excellent photography.
I just completed a Tichy “wheel car” kit, a 40’ flatcar with freight wheel load. Cheap entertainment; i.e., the cost in $/hr (pennies, actually) was very low in my case! I think I started it on Thursday (it’s Sunday). I got a chance to re-learn how to use (infrequently) my airbrush. I like the way it turned out.

Following is a simple metal casting utility trailer kit. I like finding details to add to the layout.

Be safe, all.
Thanks Kevin for the WPF start. The brass steamers are works of art.
Ed - The H-10 Mike is intricate. The repair crew is busy. Are they for hire?
Dave - Good Work! wish I had thought of it.
Bear - Good stuff as always.
Phil - The little loco is cool. The elevator in nicely done. Like the color.
Garry - Great photo as always.
Fiddler - The bridge is a work of art.
Rick - Nice cars as usual. Love the Ann Arbor locos.
Donn - Great looking water tank.
Simon - Steamers never get too old.
Toad - Impressive array.
Michael - The fun part of layout building.
Mike - #92 is too cool! Your layout is beyond impressive.
Peter - Nice little fishing tug.
Paul - The wheelcar looks good.
Grandpa got to play with his trains a bit this weekend: Rivals at Black River Station.
Pennsy FA2 at the head of a mixed coal drag passes under the Route 32 overpass as a NYC drag moves by westbound.
NYC F7 #1821 at the head of a coal drag rounding the curve at the westbound on the BRVRR layout.
Note: Don/'t know how I left out this photo. Too much of a hurry I guess.
Keep the photos and ideas coming guys. Thanks to you WPF is always the best thread of the week.
Good morning
Another great WPF. As always I admired everyone’s work here.
Thank you Kevin, Dave, Phil, and Allan for your compliments.
Your layout scenes look great Allan. I liked how you cut the stations sidewalk to fit perfectly against the curve in the track[Y]
TF
Thanks to TF, Rick, Kevinm Dave, Phil, and anybody I missed for the kind remarks about my coal train photo. Much appreciated.
There is a lot beautiful work posted since I posted earlier. So much for me to comment on, and I have so little time to comment. I’ll just say I saw each picture and I am impressed with the crativity and talent in this forum.
This has been a terrific Weekend Photo Fun !
Finishing out my comments on Monday. This was a great week for our photo fun.
Paul: I have not built my Tichy Wheel Car kit yet. Your looks great. The utility trailer you descibed as a simple casting sure looks good to me. The ramps especially.
Allan: Glad you were able to enjoy your trains. The pictures are fun. Thank you for sharing.
Sorry if I missed anyone. See you all next week.
-Kevin
