Time again for WPF! Hoping to see lots-o Model Railroading images.
Thought I’d post a bit-o BN green.

Thanks for starting this weeks WPF, Peter.
A scene on the new Leeds Sovereign Street Station.
The old platform is a relic from an old diorama I did of a station in the far north of Scotland. The ‘battered appearance’ was meant to be. I cannot ‘let it go’.
The locomotive has had its cab cut back and a weather tarpaulin added.

Peter, thanks for another WPF! A sign of old age is that time goes faster – it seems like we just this yesterday.
This week I got some lights put into the furniture factory. Next comes ballasting the track, and putting in a bunch of junk, old pallets, weeds and trees, etc.

A Seaboard System F7A that I custom-painted and decaled. It just passes the three-foot rule. 
Fortunately, Athearn announced a pair of Seaboard System F units, so once they’re produced, this will be retired. But, until then, this will do.

What is the three foot rule?
Like most Model Railroad “Rules” it is not an absolute, but basically if something, be it an object, or scene looks good from a viewing distance of three foot, then it is “Good Enough,” a philosophy I, rightly or wrongly associate with W. Allen McCelland of the Virginian & Ohio fame, one of my model railroading inspirations.
Cheers, the Bear.

Yeah, what the Bear said. So, from at least three feet away, that F7 looks okay. Doesn’t hurt to squint a little, too.

Maybe more than my Reading Railroad glasses can handle. Maybe the two foot rule, any further than that, uses my own eyes.
Looking good Kids

Thanks for sporting some Green for this weekend Photo Fun, Peter! Great stuff everyone! Glad to see healthy participation!
I finished up a few ‘head-end’ cars this week. A pair of Nickel Plate baggage and RPO cars and a B&O resin kit that I’ve had on the shelf way too long!

Did you know, head end cars didn’t get run through the car wash rack very often!
This B&O C-15 baggage car is one of a hundred they had in the '40s and '50s. It is a Funaro & Camerlengo kit. Working with resin is a bit of a challenge but I like the way it turned out, other than the color being a little too ‘bright’. Weathering should help that. It was darker but the DullCote seemed to have lightened it up a bit.

Resin kits like these are the only way to attain the more unusual pieces of rolling stock. 3D printing is moving into this territory!
For a little green here’s a Penn central lube oil tank car for 'ya!
