I decided to start WPF this week. This is my first WPF entry.
It’s an HO scale pipe load that I scratch built with instructions Pelle Soeberg’s book “Done In a Day”
Excuse the background. It is a little messy. Since taking this photo, I trimmed the upright boards off a little.
Nice looking load!!
Here’s a few shots from me.
Busted!!!
Still working on my town.
A over view of my layout. Still got a lot to do!!
Please ignore the rust on the bridge its not accurate. The final painting and weathering is not complete. It was only there to give an overall idea of what it could look like…
A nice start.
Robby - I hope that guy was busted for the graffiti. Got to keep those guys off our layouts! [:D]
Here’s a work in progress. It’s an abandoned factory with old overgrown sidings. There’s still some detail to add and I’m not sure if the old boxcar to the left (converted to a storage shed) will stay. More grass and shrubs to add.
Very nice work everyone.
I’ve been working on covering my hillsides with trees. One section was so narrow that I couldn’t place actual trees. Instead, I used clump foliage. It looks pretty good, but the scale of the tree cover is all wrong for the retaining walls. It’s also going to look funny once I cover the adjacent hill with super trees. The hill in question is only two inches thick at the base. I guess this is where good enough is going to come into play!:o I can’t let something like scale consistency slow me down!
This gives an over all view of the area. I hadn’t planned on the narrow bluff. It was an after thought.
I dunno, Corey… it looks pretty good to me. I’ve seen lots of hillsides that were covered with shorter, thick bushes and trees, just like you’ve modeled here. I’ve got an area similar to yours and I’ve been thinking about doing the same.

I think it looks fine.
I have a similar thin area against a wall on mine.
Very nice work, everyone.

Here’s a new woodchip load I built.
And just because, an older photo that I don’t think I’ve posted here before. A leased CSX U23B leads intermodal hotshot WJNA through Enfield, NH.
A Walthers 65’ mill gondola I have weathered, .

Robby, Driline and Jon - very well done weathering.
Wow… that’s a great job! At first I thought it was the real thing! Is this weathering powders, paint… combination?
Jarrell
Yes, WOW … Weekend Photo Fun is off to a great start. I like ALL so far!
Here’s a forced perspective road on a narrow part of the layout.
I used a mixture of acrylic dye, paint, rustal, a black wash, weathering powder and the a spray of Humbrol matt varnish for texture. Regards Jon.
I wish I could post some pictures but there is NOTHING here to show us how. No little picture symbol or anything. why is it so difficult and why do they not post how?

Hi Garry (CB&Q) Did you cast your own retaining wall? If so, how about a quick tutorial as I have a similar space to do and would like to avoid using Chooch stuff. If you’d rather, PM me.

Thanks, Jerry and Gerry …
Gerry … Retaining wall is plaster of Paris made in a crude mold made from strips of wood. The top horizontal piece is a wood strip. I used concrete colored household latex paint, and weathered with acrylic paint. … PS… I noted the GTW unit in your avatar. I saw plenty of those when I was in MI.
