Hi everyone, lots of good work and ideas this weekend. Never thought of adding salt to anything except fish and chips, but it looks like an interesting way to model rusty things. I put together this video to show how my new quarry fits in the operations. Still more work to go.

I think an LMB niagara (as crude as they were) doesnt deserve to be in a scrap pile Ed! That’s reserved for those junk Bachmann plus Niagaras

Shane, Im honestly surprised at how good that camelback turned out! It looks great!

Apparently four and six wheeled carriages were very uncomfotable. I guess people were just glad to ‘travel somewhere’.

A great contribution by everyone. Thanks for showing.

Hello RMNRWY, in your second picture you have a SceneMaster Farmall tractor pictured. How did you come up with the beautiful loader?

Was there a kit offered or did you build it?

Thanks!

Hi Randy, I purchased a GHQ Models 60001 HO Farm Machinery ‘Red’ Super M-TA Tractor with farmer figure. It’s an unpainted metal kit. Costs around $12. You can position the loader up or down. It was pretty fun to assemble and paint.

Also, thanks to those that left comments regarding my pics and layout. Great pics from everyone.

I just assumed it was a Walthers tractor. Shot myself in the foot again.

Thanks for the scoop.

Thanks for the start to WPF Kevin.

Great stuff from everyone this week! The contributors are too numerous to mention idividually because of the great participation.

I have to call out ‘BEAR’. I enjoyed all of the Toons.

My humble contribution this week is my new Amtrak F40PH on its break-in run with a few cars in tow. It and its brother have been difficult to progrm with my Digitrax DSC52 and JMRI DecoderPro. No idea why, but I’ll figure it out.

Keep the photos and ideas coming guys. Thanks to you WPF is always the best thread of the week.

Thanks to everyone for the great pictures this weekend. We had snow overnight in east central Wisconsin just in time for the Packers game.

The start to a couple of projects this week.

It got warm enough to paint my Cary E7/ Athearn chasis project last week in CNW colors. Now to get the fuel tank filed down to the correct profile.

As long as I had the airbrush out, I painted on old Athearn F7 body in a dark maroon in order to create the old Soo Line paint scheme. Pulled out an old Walthers dress up kit and added the lights, windscreen and started the grab irons. Painted the truck and wheels next. Need to get the decals to finish it up.
