Good for you, Tom! Have fun.

Haven’t had much of a chance to do anything on the layout this week–not the best week in the world for me. However, since SP does have trackage rights on my Yuba River Sub, thought I’d show you some pics of my new toy. Picked it up at Bruce’s Trains this afternoon before Mass, it’s a Sunset “Prestige” SP MT-5 with directional headlights. Ain’t she a purty lil’ thang, though?

Next week I’ll show some more of my SP power.
Very nice pics everyone.
I have been dabbling with a Rail Yard HO Mopac Caboose kit for the past few days.
Here’s what I’ve got done so far, although I took a wrong turn on page 2 of the instructions.

Jonathon,
I have an image to ‘complement’ yours. It’s something I had reserved at my LHS but was unable to pickup until Friday (payday). Not my own handiwork obviously, but I’m still very pleased to have actually acquired it:
Mine is #7845
To make sure credit is given where it is due, I drug Sunday Photo Fun over from the Atlas forum went it was shut down last summer and of whom Sprink is the host and creator as far as I know. I stopped as summer is my busiest time of the year work wise. Anyway here are my latest projects. New Rock paint scheme.

Very Nice, Ken! After seeing that Dash 8 yesterday, I might just have to get a model, too!
Boy, when you start on Saturday and post on Sunday Night you have to back quite a few pages to find the thread to post your work.
Here is Sparky, the latest edition to the Hogwarts Freight and Ferry fleet.

And after:
Chip: Sparky is one cool looking little dude, to paraphrase my grandson. I like the Hogwarts red–gives the little guy a lot of character.

Hey, Chip…Now THAT’s one cute lil’ fella. Nice job on the paint. Did it go any better for you this time?
Tom
If you are asking if he runs, he does.

Chip,
No. I was wondering whether the painting went any better for you this time.
Tom
Great work by everyone!
Well here’s the latest project. Maritime’s old engine house was torn down to make room for an intermodal terminal. It small, but will do the trick. The tracks were repositioned and a retaining wall added to increase the size of the ramp. The old Seaboard 40’ trailer against the fence serves as a storage locker. I still need to add lines, signs and some other details plus do a little more weathering.
Here’s a before shot. The new engine facility will be located where the benchwork is visible in the center. The upper tunnel has also been removed. The plan is for some building flats for an urban transition up there.

Tom, I think I eyed that very same locomotive in Bruce’s brass case a few days ago.
I brushed this and 4 box cars I’m working on so it when easy. On the other hand, the stripping was not so asy. But I’m getting better at it. I picked up a couple Overland Cars at a train show. I’ll probably
it was DigitalGriffin’s pic that made it too big, not Aggro’s…that does bring up a point though…if ya’ll post pictures, please reduce the size of them before uploading…it saves us from a lot of slow download times getting to this string…Chuck
Jonathon,
The Atlas CW40s all seem to be sold out (I reserved mine back in December) - but not to worry, BLI will be selling a close cousin starting in July: the AC6000-CW. Looks every bit as awesome as the CW40-8.

Good luck![:)]
Sometimes I forget that not everyone has a lot of bandwidth. My appologies.
However in my own defense my post was “only 56.7K”. Other post were considerably larger. Some were as much as 8 times my post size.
~D
How do you reduce the size of them?
When I put photos in a post, the are shrunken down and they click to enlarge. I don’t sse anything mal from this end. [%-)]
I use a viewing program called Polyview. However, most drawing/viewing programs have a fuction for changing image size. Right click and see if yours does. If not Polyview is shareware.
I make a rule to limit the size to 800 Wide (and/or 600 high)
