Weekend Photo Fun - October 9th through October 11th 2020

Yes, and I noticed you noticed Mike’s scene as well. Very well done and something to provide inspiration as well as something to copy. Sorry, Mike. But people only steal the good stuff.

Robert

Not true, people imitate the mediocre stuff all the time.

Since this is Weekend Photo Fun and since this post contains a small educational aspect…” which went down very well with my Sunday morning coffee, thanks, Robert.

Lotsa really Good Stuff already, thanks ffolkes.
Cheers, the Bear.[:)]

Impreassive modelling by all. Well done. Thanks

David

Sunday morning update:

Yes, Chip, we like suggestions [Y] yours is good! I’ll be sprinkling more dirt and cinders as I get around to more “fine-tuning”. Thanks!

Garry, You hit the nail on the head [:-^] Well, I hope so, anyway [:D]

Timmy, I like ELO (the band, too!) I was just using some to remove some overspray on clear styrene passenger car windows! Didn’t fog them one bit. A week, though — yeah, that’s asking for [banghead]


Tonight I wired up the light pole and the tower lights [I]

I made a “model board” using fiber optic strands and when I throw the main line crossover the lights on the board change [8D]

I had been waiting years to get that wired up [8-|]

Nice modeling stuff, everyone.

Simon, that’s a good looking sawmill. The cork on the floor looks like sawdust to me.

Garry, I like the stock cars. Also the cabooses. I still don’t have any cabooses on my layout.

Chip, nice work so far. I assume your weather is allowing you more time in the garage. Is it still just early morning work? I also have my wiring behind the fascia and use terminal strips so I don’t have to go under the layout to do the wiring anymore.

Timmy, it’s too bad about the boxcar sides. I’m sure you will scratchbuild some that look just as good or better.

Robert, that’s a pretty impressive scene of the dam and the bridge. A professional looking job.

Mike, I’m a big fan of night scenes with lighting. You lit car looks great.

Ed, what a great scene. Your model board with lighting that works is impressive. It looks better than my full size board for my layout. That is a great job of model work!

We still have today left in the weekend. I’m looking forward to seeing more photos. I get a lot of inspiration from this thread each weed to keep working on my modeling skills and layout.

Everyone is showing off some awesome work this weekend!

I was able to get some more ballasting and scenery done around the bakery spur!

Till next weekend! Hope everyone has a good week!

Ringo, it looks good. I like the grain elevators.

The high was 87F. In the morning, I open up the garage. My garage, however, faces south, so around about noon it gets pretty hot, and I have to close the garage door and turn on a fan. Garage door closed, it’s just hot enough to slow me down, but not enough to make me actually stop.

Ringo–It feels good to get some green down doesn’t it.

My garage faces West, and in the afternoon it is uninhabitable 10 months of the year.

The house remodel will have the master bedroom relocated to the North side of the house with only one window to the North. That will help a lot.

Currently the master bedroom has one window to the East and one to the South. No good.

I have been working more on my G Scale trestle. Below the trestle is upside down.

Here is the top view. I have been working on the top deck getting all the wood guard rails in place.

Wow! This was a great week of contributions and inspriation in Weekend Photo Fun. Thank you to everyone who contributed, and another thank you for all the comments on my newest boxcar.

Robert: Your bridge and dam scene is just amazing.

Mike: That is a good looking Narrow Gauge Passenger Car you have added to your collection. The lit up photograph is a beauty.

Chip: I like what you have done with your controls in a drawer. The start of the turntable project is exciting. I am looking forward to watching it come along.

Ed: Your miniature CTC board is better than the full size one I tried to build for my “Dream House” layout 30 years ago. That is awesome work. I read your comment about lubrication/cleaning for the on/off switch on the lamp. That is good advice. I have the light plugged into a receptical that is controlled by a master on/off switch, so the switch on the lamp hood will not get excersized very much.

Ringo: Your bakery scene is looking good. I did not see Jake. Does he have this weekend off?

Renegade: Simply [bow].

Sorry if I missed anyone. I will see you all next weekend, and have a safe and happy week.

-Kevin

Renegade, amazing work on that trestle. Please keep us up-to-date with photos as you finish the trestle.
