Kevin, John York 1, Rick, Chip, and Ricky … Thank you for commenting on my TH&B boxcar.
John York 1. … Nice donut shop. I’ll have one with powdered sugar, please.
Chip … Your limber shed lookd great.
Robert … Thanks for showing your WIP dam. It will be impressive.
Ricky … The coil car looks excellent.
Peter… Your canning company certainly looks real.
Ah yes, the usual outstanding work Gents! Love that there saddle back steamer and the work is first class. Long live the New Haven! Here is a shot of a lokey painted by L’il Timmy back when he was a club member. She is a one of a kind on the Mt Hood RR and I have debated adding a second one so it won’t be lonely.[:^)] It was a dummy, and I found a cheap Athearn mechanism to power her up and added NWSL wheels and an A-line motor. She runs very nicely![C):-)]
So good to be back!
All I have to say is all the modeling here looks just as good as it always does every weekend. Some great Craftsmanship here guys!
Curtains for certain
It was dusk when I got home and all I could see was the two double members lining up on the bridge I need to finish against the curtain.
And there’s paper under it from a half of a year before so I know what to do
I will be working on this one this week to get it fitted in and removable of course. Hopefully I’ll have something done by next weeks WPF
Again, Great looking stuff here Guys[Y]

Peter: The cannery looks simply amazing. I do not think I have seen a picture of that structure before.
Toad: I love my Trainmaster too. I detailed the body, but it still has the old Athearn motor and original wheels. These do need to be upgraded. Does yours have plastic sideframes (new style) on the trucks? I have been looking for one, but never found it. Athearn might have never updated the Trainmaster.
Track Fiddler: Looking forward to seeing more updates. Glad you had a good trip.
Ed: Let me say once again: Thank you for the amazing A+ desk lamp. It is perfect.
Everyone: See you next weekend, and be safe this week.

I can’t believe I missed this weekend! I was super busy getting everything around the apartment finished up! I know its monday but I thought I could sqeeze in!
As always, great work from everyone. This is my favorite thread. I love how everyone that shows a picture is always modeling or working on somthing different. This week we had lamps, on30 saddle tanks, great custom rollingstock, amazing scenery work and a awesome bridge!
Love seeing what everone is working on and what their intrests are. It’s nuce to see everyyone modeling the 1800s to today and getting along and having fun.
Only thing new this week is a Bachmann F7 and a genesis F7. I ordered the bachmann shell from their parts website and the chassis is from a B&O B unit ( shell is avalible if anyone wants it ). The detail difference between the two is amazing.
I mean I know I spent $55 total on the bachmann and $150 on the genesis, but the genesis is simply beautiful. I think I may send this one out to be profesinally weathered and get a nice sound decoder. I love this unit!
Really nice work. The entire scene is impressive. I wouldn’t have known that it was N scale.
John: Sorry I skipped over you. It was not intentional. Your donut shop is great.
Ringo: Ah, F units! I love them. 1/2 of the diesel locomotives on my railroad’s roster are EMD F units. I am glad you are happy with the new addition.

Kevin, I Do not believe Uncle Irv ever made plastic side frames for the Trainmaster.[C):-)]
I didn’t think so.
I will probably re-wheel mine with NWSL nickel steel wheels, install some universal joints and a new motor and see what I can do for it.
It is my favorite diesel locomotive.
