Hello I am still working on radiator shop. I did not like the card stock roof that came with the kit. So I made my own. I got some scale lumber and this is what I have so far.
I made one side so it can be removed to see in. Have a great weekend Frank
BN Coal train coming through…
Installing weights in my expensive Intermountain Railway flat car. 3 more to go…
Almost done laying cement for the Ralston Purina Plant…
Just a quick “rail fan” shot of the layout.
I really like the Radiator Shop 0-6-0
Nice work ! [bow]
Also like the bridge shot Driline
And the video was good Robby
You run the train at the right speed with lots of well done cars in tow
Nothing new from me getting ready to go to Austin for the train show and layout tour
Here’s an old shot i like
On a foggy morning in the southern Appalachian mountains, Central of Georgia’s #108 leads a freight up a grade past an old home place. The Alco RS-3 engine is an Atlas product, smooth running as a fine watch.

This week has been an interesting week atleast modeling wise for me, I finaly set up my blasting booth that uses baking soda right off the shelf from wal-mart and let me say it takes paint off kato and old rivarossi shells like nothing plus! it doesnt damage the plastic.
This is one of 5 “BN” sd70mac’s I am painting. i’ll let you guess what road this is going to be…
I don’t often participate in this thread, but I’m finally getting some scenery down on my second “chainsaw” layout.
Have a good weekend!
Jarrell and Scarpia…very nice imagery and modelling…[tup] [8D] I also like the images by 0-6-0 (nice model!!) and C&O fan. Driline and Jeff, nice photos. I like the bridge shot with the diesel working its way across it.
Robby, you have a nice layout, and I enjoyed the video. Nice collection of weathered cars you have. Ford86, it looks like a first class paint job you have underway. [:)]
Here is an image enhanced by the good graces of Jacon12. Thanks, Jarrell.
Here is another angle, and a la Crandell style.

Great shots as usual, everyone.
Here’s my newest acquisition, 2-8-2 #1225, an ex-Moffat Road loco taking a caboose hop through Wagon Wheel Gap. She’s a little powerhouse.

Superb, John. [8D]

Well, I’ve got a packed weekend, so probably won’t get too much done in the way of model railroading, but I did get this car finished earlier in the week and didn’t get it into WPF last week. Went for a lighter weathering on this, to have some variety. The pictures actually make it seem dustier than it is in real life; must be the light (which I know the lighting/camera work is pretty bad, lol).
Great photos one and all… this week’s WPF looks like a winner.
CNJ831: I had to do a double-take on your scratchbuilt structure… it’s excellent!
Crandell: Your scenes and modeling are outstanding also… and I love that grey UP Challenger! Is that a new lokey in your line-up?
Bob
Tom, getting that good shot visible!! [:D] EDIT - OOPS, you fixed it while I was not looking
Off to a good WPF start; nothing new from me this week - lots of partial finished projects as usual.[%-)]
Very nice start to the weekend folks. As always something that I look forward to.
I have been assembling some Tichy Train group flat cars as I have had time during the last couple of weeks. The kits are highly detailed and definitely Craftsman level. They look like this out of the box:
Nice kits! The parts are free of a lot of flash and the parts fit. Excellent directions as well.
The first two have been painted and the wood decking weathered to actually (hopefully) look like wood… When this photo was taken, only one was done the one on the right has only had a coat of “earth color” over the black base.
My new toy (FINALLY!) [dinner]
Love to hear that engine idle [{(-_-)}]
Bob, you’re gonna make me blush~ [:I] Thanks!!
The Challenger is the Lionel HO version, and I purchased it in late 2005. I had it put away for about a year after running it sporadically for nearly two. It runs well, looks very good, although the MSRP suggests to me that it could be a bit more detailed here and there. Nice heavy puller, and it has a good paint job.

Great stuff this week. And it is all so colorful…
oh, well- here’s a small- town downtown… in b&w, and after dark.
Another amazing start to another amazing week.
Again, this week my contribution is only semi-MRR related.
I took this shot for the Trains Magazine photo contest, “Bridging the Gap.” However, I will also use this (along with other shots) as a refrence when it is time to built the platform on my new layout (which I still haven’t started):
“Arrival on Track 1”
This is my second favorite shot (of the 4 that I entered), not far behind my favorite. Next week, I will post my final, and favorite, shot (which will hopefully pay off in the form of a new camera and a trip, and/or a very nice HO commuter station!!)
