Can’t believe no one’s started this thread yet
Here’s a short old Video to get things rolling
Terry beat me to to by a minute fo rthe WPF, so I will delete mine and re-post here…
Everyone must have exhausted themselves with the big WPF last week [:D], so I will give it a start with an older photo. This gravel loader and conveyor is located above Greenvale on the right of way of an abandoned branch line.
Cool! Now we can cool our brains and enjoy pics and vids for a while…my head just stopped spinning from all the philosophical threads lately! Not that they aren’t important but its time to enjoy MRRing for a day or two IMHO!

A trio of yard switchers, two SW7’s and an FM H-10-44. A thorn between two roses? DJ.
A super start, and thanks for getting us underway, Terry! [8D]
Nice modelling and photography all around, gentlemen. I’ll try to keep up. [:O]
I show a steam engine about to emerge from a coal mine timber portal into the late day sun on a hillside.

I had some fun filming at night last week. Here’s the product.
Night at West Canaan. A very long train WJCD passes behind long-hood-first GP18 #9423, then intermodal train NAWJ slowly passes through town behind GP7 #8569, recently shopped with new trucks and electrical gear.
I had to take the shoots, I was getting ready to start one as well! Here a few.
First is a shoot by the grain elevator.
Next is a pair of N&W stearmers
I was starting to wonder if it was Friday?

Really Cool Crandell
I can’t believe i actually sat here waiting for the loco to come out of hiding

Nice video TY
Even better
If you had just a tad more light on the sides of the cars
perhaps a car or truck sitting at the crossing with it’s LED headlights on ???
Hello everyone its been a long time since I posted a pic here on the forums and this is the best place to do it. I have put some scenery on my layout for the first time ever. There are some touch ups to do but im happy with the results. Here is a pic of my BN ore train climbing the grade.
Great work so far.
Some switching on a beautiful spring day.
The backdrop was photo-shopped in (using more digital help than usual on this picture).
I was feeling a little Grim…
Then I spent some time trackside and caught a GN train…
…and now I am feeling better!!!
Looking good so far, guys.
Here’s a quickie - not a particularly flattering shot but the camera battery was dying and I wanted to get something up…
Decapod 390 with an old friend, veteran caboose C-302, heading to Franklinton yard for their next assignment
Some better shots will hopefully come later.
Over the Easter weekend I took the boys to the Greeley Colorado Railroad museum. Here are a few shots that I took there. It is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
The saloon business has been terrible at Tim’s Place since the Sherry’s Scarlet Slipper opened up next door. Everything is just fancier over there …
That is Sweeeet! Very nice. How did you do the lake / trestle scene? I’d love to hear more about what you did to make that scene.

[swg] cudaken; very nice photo work. The y6b caught my eye as well the J . The flat face of the Y really brought out detail.Who is the manufacture of those engines?? Are they still available ?? 60 + yrs. past I saw many A’s and Y6bs on the Portsmouth to columbus coal drag. I’m starting my N&W coal and freight RR . Thanks for the pics. Respectfully, Jim
Ah, the weekend and my favorite thread!
What a great start! So many outstanding photos of great layouts! I have just been continuing with the engine house I have been scratch building. Haven’t had much time to work on it the last couple of weeks.
Here is the last main wall complete with 2 x 6 studing. The walls will from time to time have to carry some major weight when the crew does repairs on the old shay that works this area on the mountain so it is sturdy!
Walls have been assembled and a new base placed under it.
Other side of the building:
Ties have been laid inside for the track to be placed upon:
View loking in the main door (Doors will be added later):

Most of us are now on a weight reduction programme as a result of this movie.
Thanks for looking.
