It looks like I will start this weekend off
Nice Start to the Weekend Curt!
Here are some recently completed cars!
Here is an Eastern Car Works Airslide Covered Hopper painted for American Refridgerator Transit. Co-Owned by the Missouri Pacific and the Wabash. I have shown both sides of the car as the MP & WAB heralds are switched, with the MP Herald closest to the B end of the car. I used Oddballs Decals to finish the car.
Atlas Kaolin Tank car, painted light gray and lettered with Islington Station Products decals.
Atlas 17600 Gal Corn Syrup Tank Car, painted black and lettered with Herald King Decals.
Thanks for Looking!

Curt … Thanks for starting WPF … Nice scene! …
Rick … You freight cars look real!
Here is some WORK IN PROGRESS. … Until I install retaining walls, I have surfaces painted gray. Numerous details need to be installed. I would also like to install real trolley wires for my 50’ of street car track.
I am building my downtown area, and I have 16 buildings installed. One was ready-built, a bank by WS/DPM. The rest are either kitbashed or kit-built. Size of buildings range from a 13 story building from a Bachmann kit to a single story supermarket from a City Classics kit.
I have ordered more Chooch stone walls and more Rix concrete railings like in this picture of a scene between downtown and Union Station. This will cover my gray painted surfaces.

Looks like that is going to be an excellent cityscape, Heartland.

I posted this earlier in the week. My little guy was doing videos for tech at school. He jazzed this one up a bit and asked if he could put it on WPF. So here it is.

Here’s a video of my NS and CSX trains running on my layout as well as a few pics.
I like that city scene. Here is another city scene starting to take shape… Gray walls also in place until retaining walls are installed. Note lower left subway platform and top of a P-1000 subway car.
Great modeling everyone. I have been working on my coal tower siding (ripped out the old and completely reworked it) and I finished it this afternoon so I thought I would share.
Thanks for looking.
Wow, lots of great pictures already!
A few weeks back I posted a shot of a Bowser USRA Pacific I had completed but not yet painted. The painting, weathering and decoder install is done and she’s been put to work. Like all Bowsers, it will pull like gangbusters, well going frontwards, at least. I didn’t install a front coupler yet!

Meanwhile in the drafting office, Marsha asks Simon if he really wants to know where he can put his T Square…
Yes kids, the Cumberland Station is now fully lit, showing off the murky interiors I spent all week working on.
After the first floor was done to my satisfaction, that was covered up to work on the second floor.
Likewise, the LED leads were located, and another vertical blind slat was sacrificed to cap the second floor.
I used some masking tape to finish pulling in the bowed walls, holding them securely while the glue cured. There’s still a bit of an arc to the back wall, but hopefully that will be imperceptible by the time I install the dormers and the roof.
The details I put in the interior are now only visible through the windows. All of the LED wiring ended up in the attic, which made it much easier to work on. I again mixed up the colors used, but mostly this one has 3mm warm white, which I think gives a pretty believable color and intensity.
Next to build the roof…

Good evening folks, great work so far.
Lee I enjoy following your blog etc… perhaps an update is in order… [:D]
I’ve been working on a few little things today, here and there. Mainly bridge abutments and piers.
I will probably cover with Chooch cut stone or similiar product. I may still use styrene and make them cement abutments… We’ll see what I feel like doing. LOL.
I don’t know what possessed me to buy two different style Atlas bridges, but it makes it a PITA to make a pier. [banghead]
I’ve cut a little notch to sit the deck truss on and then sit the through truss on top. I’m going to make some little styrene bridge feet to raise the through truss, just a fraction. I used really fine grit sandpaper on the bottom to make a basic concrete pier base. I’m yet to paint it, and it needs a small bit shaven off. I rounded the ends of it with my motor tool.
Overall view of the progress. Tomorrow night will hopefully be mixing a hydrocal batch and coating the foam with bandages and slopping some hydrocal down in the river bed to form a seal for when I get around to pouring the water…
And this is a new toy I got today from our Home depot equivalent Bunnings for $75. A 20L wet dry vacuum cleaner for cleaning up the layout etc… will be perfect for vacuuming the car too… [*-)]
Cheers!
I am currently assembling an N scale kit of the famous Bluenose fishing schooner. It´ll eventually become part of a water front module, depicting a dock scene.
