A video of my new geeps
Terry,
I’ll have to watch it from the house. Our company 'puters won’t allow us access to youtube. Did you get the curved turnout situation solved?..chuck
Nice Coal drag!
Here’s one on my layout taking the grade:
Terry, they sure sound good.

Nice work Terry and MAbruce !!! It looks like coal trains are busy helping utilities replenish stockpiles from the cold winter season.
Here are shots on my branch line. First is an overview of a short train. Secon is a zoomed in shot of the locomotive.
Yea Chuck I extended the gaurd rail See the photo

Not pretty but it will get me thru open house tomorrow and Sunday
Maybe I can find a new turn out at the show
I think this one got warped from the ballast
Thanks MAbruce
I like the tall grass in your photo it looks good along the water’s edge !
Thanks Ken
That’s a newer version and the Nathan 5 chime horn is much more proto type
than the first version
MABruce and Gerry, great shots. Bruce, I love your reeds, they look great.
I haven’t done much, but I’ve been working on weathing this Walthers van. Not quite done yet, but it’s coming along.
Very nice work, so far.
PRR F30A flat car converted to TOFC service. DJ.
GP 7 about to leave the E-Street Yard. 
DJ … I like the Pennsy TOFC picture you ahve posted in recent weeks! … In particular, I like the TOFC trailer you posted today. Feel free to tell us more about the trailer.
Quit posting pics of real trains, this is supposed to be for model trains! [;)]
OMG I don’t know how you guys do this amazing work!!!
Finally I got some stairs leading up the ridge to the section foreman’s house. The steps were purchased and I built a small platform about half way up. Guess I gotta get some handrails in place now.

Here are a few more cars I have recently finished assembling, painted and decaled.
This is either a Eastern Car Works or E&B Valley car with Microscale Decals.

WOW! Great start already and it’s only noon on Friday!
I have been working on a scratch built backwoods style engine house. So far I have drawn out what I want to build (been changed 3 times so far…) and started to build it from the ground up.
Here is what I have accomplished so far (I have decided this one will be and experiment with a, hopefully, much better one for contest later). It will have to be removable so the floor has to be built in sections.
Flooring is made of scale 1"x 4"x 8’ lumber that has been “weathered” with an India Ink/Alcohol wash.
Some SOO F3 weathered for a friend.
Well here’s my big accomplishment this week:
I finally had the time to realign the tracks and install the base of the car/ loco shops. As you can see the building still needs some work, but that can be done a little at a time. I can now move Loco’s into and out of the shop under their own power[:P].
Also here’s a video I recorded today of my SD40-2 moving the MOW train out of the yard after the project was completed:

This video features rare footage of a CVS unit running long hood forward on the mainline[:O].
Have a great weekend,
Jamie
I see the “bar” is set higher each week.
Here’s a shot from me [:-,].
First up, a “good looking” photo from me because everything else is just progress shots.
LE-2 switching at night in West Canaan, NH.
I recently starting building a burned-out barn from Horst Meier’s article in Model Railroader. Here’s the materials.
A couple hours later, the wall frames and roof ends have been started. I bought way too little of the heavy square stripwood so my roof is going to be built of the skinny stuff. My barn is going to much more destroyed than the one in the article.
I also finally put sides on the Shaker Hill Road bridge in Enfield! They just need paint and weathering.
It could be a few weeks till these projects are done (IF they ever get done! [:-^]) but I’ll be sure to post photos then!
