Rick - Thanks for starting off WPF. Some good looking cars in that group. I liked the Rock Island loco. The DT&I train is cool.

Kevin - The flat car looks capable.

Ed - Quite an array of steel coil cars.

Ringo 58 - Getting there. Good job on the weathering.

Jimmy - I’ve seen worse.

Mel - High tech for sure. Looking forward to a cab ride.

Paul - I like your bus.

Ringo - Dummy switchers?

L. Zhou - Good start on the reefer. Have you ever tried 97% alcohol? It works much faster.

York 1 - Nice shot. Good looking layout.

Keven - Thats quite a flat car.

HO-Velo - Good scene.

Chip - Love it.

A little play time for grandpa:

Kevin I did those Athearn flat cars yrs ago I know I still have some just not sure where but they were easy to do if I remember

Here’s another one not an Athearn it’s an old Gilbert brand all metal

23

So I put two axle trucks on this was a sd9 so what should it be now ?

24

Allan: Great picture share this week as usual. Play time sounds great on a weekend.

Mike: Thank you for sharing more flat cars. Your SD on four axle trucks actually looks pretty good. It can’t be a GP-9. Maybe an SD-9(G)?

-Kevin

Another great weekend of posts. Nice modeling and photos.

Whats a long Holiday weekend without some sandlot baseball?

So it went from 6-wheel (3 axle) trucks to 4-wheel (2 axle) trucks. It’s not a GP9, as it’s too big. So it is either a SD9 with 2-axle trucks, or perhaps a SD6 (two-thirds of an SD9). If the latter is correct, if it started as a SD7 it would be a SD4.66666666667.[8-|]

Howdy … It’s good to see so many people contributing great photos and having fun. … I took yesterday off as we celebrated our anniversary.

Here are photos of my county park where people are enjoying Labor Day Weekend.

28

Dave: Thank you for joining us in Weekend Photo Fun. Your 44 ton locomotive scene looks good.

Garry: Your scene with people enjoying the long weekend looks like a great place to be right now.

See everyone next weekend!

(I will be posting some progress pictures shortly…)

You will need to bring that up to Rick who started Weekend Photo Fun this week.

He clearly set the dates to September 4th through 6th.

Ok,

I decided the Demon’s Hollow lone caboose nedded some sister’s sooooo…

I just pulled them out of the paintbooth, ( they have been there since Wednesday.)

So tonight is “decal - O - rama” night. I’m also continuing work on the logcar.

You can’t really tell, but this is Two hour’s of " fiddlin" with Plastistruct and Liquid glue… ( anybody notice my fingerprint in the glue on the main frame ??? )

AND: I may give the Buffalo Brine logo another shot.

( Hey, I figure I already got my fingerprint disaster out of my system … what could possably go wrong now ?? )

32

Chip, That’s a mighty good dusty, dirty, faded look you put on that livery stable. My guy is laboring on Labor Day weekend, but glad the winch has a torque multiplier.

Daves_Trains, Oh yeah, sandlot baseball! Really liking your scene, lots of neat elements, the nice switcher, Buick cop car and DTD structures to name but a few. The palm tree says the locale has a mild climate?

Gonna’ sneak another one in; The road turns sharply up before the rest day. Allez! Allez!

Thanks for all the nice comments, regards, Peter

I just received my shipment of the Scaletrains carbon black hoppers. I got 20 of them. I’m gonna use them for Gates Rubber, I just decided that for an industry on my new layout.

I got all the cork in for the railyard. Next I will be working on all the yard tracks.

34

Gee Rick, steady on there!!!
Boy, it’s great to see so much varied really Good Stuff.
Thanks to all the contributors.[tup][tup]
Been w**king this weekend, so running late…

Cheers, the Bear.[:)]

That’s another neat scene, Peter. OK, who’s the guy in the red and black cape waving a pitchfork at the bike riders?

36

Timmy: Nice work update. I really like what you are doing with the logging flat car project.

Peter: I have the same question as John about the pitchfork fellow. Who is that guy and why is he there?

Bear: Thank you for the toon this weekend.

Michael: I looked at the image of your new hopper car. It is a beauty. Scale Trains sure does magnificent stuff. Is the running board made of alluminum on the prototype for these cars?

-Kevin

38

Hi Kevin, yes the roofwalks are made of aluminum on prototype. Scaletrains did a great job with these cars, very happy with them.

39

Why he’s my rendition of ‘Didi the Devil’, a passionate cycling fan who for many years has been attending the Tour de France to cheer and prod the riders on, usually during key mountain stages.

Thanks and regards, Peter

I had to look him up! That’s a fun thing to have on your layout. Nice work!
