To start things off here’s a video of my GP-9 with an upgrade chip installed
I really like the Nathan 5 chime horn
Very nice. What type of chip did you install?

I agree, sounds good!!
Here’s a weathered hopper I just finished up. I forgot to take a before shot, but it was a bright yellow hopper.
C&O fan, you loco sounds great!
I’m still working on filling in a corner of the BRVRR layout. My new skyline and background building are in place. I’ve begun detailing the scene a little. Here is an image of my home-made chain-link fence. Not the best rendition of a fence I’ve ever seen, but not bad for this amateur.
Allan … Your scene looks very good!
Robby … I like the hopper.
TerryinTexas … Nice video of the Geeps.
Here are SD24’s with a westbound freight.
Very nice work, everyone.
RS1 crossing Hammer Creek.
Looks like things are off to a good start, lookin’ and soundin’ great! Here’s a shot of my Southern RS-3, an Athearn RTR, making it’s way up a grade with a couple of coal hoppers.

Darn, this is good! Grampy, every time I see your work I get depressed… [:D]
How did you do the tall green grass at the bottom right corner of the photo?
Jarrell
What don’t you like about it? I am getting ready to try one my self, I will be using some laces for the chain link.

Thanks
The new chip is LLW GP-9 112-03
with the Nathan 5m 5 chime horn
which is correct for the C&O Geeps
And sounds great
the prime mover now ramps up all the way thru
the speed range and also transitions just like the real ones
Nice work everyone!
I’ve been working on a couple areas of my layout recently:
(The second shot has a digital backdrop)
So Long Turntable…
Hello hole in ground… Hmmm…now what to do. Could make a nice swimming pool, or could possibly hold a nice ice cold bucket O’ Beer.
Thanks, Jarrell, and you gotta love those old Alcos, I do. Very nice! That grass is from the Silflor Summer sampler pack, available at Scenic Express. DJ.

Great start already folks! Grampy, Jarrell, and the rest, fine work you folks are doing. I always look forward to this thread!
I have been waiting for some windows to arrive at my LHS to work on the main part of the Logging pike engine house I am building, so in the meantime I put together the small workshop that will be a room off the side of the engine house. Walls are made icluding the 2’ x 4’ studs on the walls:
Walls have been assembled on the base and painted dark gray, windows and doors (Grandtline) added:
Couple of inside shots from the workbench:

Looks like fake fur to me
So what are you gonna do with the turntable? Interested in getting rid of it or are you moving it to another location?
Here is what I have been up to lately between looking for jobs online.
after pics of the ken kidder brass train I restored
before pics of the ken kidder looks pretty nasty
And some other project I have worked on.
Atlas amtrack was a complete wreck, all taken apart, no decoder, pieces everywhere.
Atlas rs-1
Athearn trainmaster dummy turned to power unit and yes I know the trucks are wrong. This was built for my leasing company like it survived the torch and was upgraded.
My $40.00 BLI Hudson. Missing teather and sound decoder and electronics and rear trucks on the tender. Got the tender on warranty, had a guy make me a theather and added my own decoder. Saving up for a sound decoder for it.
I want to get rid of it. I’ve now got 2 unwanted Heljan 14" turntables. One with a brand new walthers motor. Maybe they would make nice frisbees?
