Southern’s #721 leads a train of freight cars up out of Woodland Valley, leaving the morning mist below…

An Alco meet on the bridge.

. West bound engineer’s view of Stoney Creek. 
That is one beautiful layout, Gramps!
Jarrell
Don’t forget to add … aw inspiring, fantastic, quite realistic, totally believable & many more exclamations !
Jarrell–That’s a lovely, moody shot. I really LIKE it![tup]
Grampys–Wonderful, as usual![bow]
Tom [:D]
Grampy … FANTASTIC!
Everybody … There are five crows: 3 on the scare crow and 2 on nearby fence posts. The scare crow is a kitbashed Q-tip.
Garry–
I really like that shot. But I still say that you placed your ineffective scarecrow to scare the TRAINS, LOL!
Tom [:P]
Here’s two I took a few months ago at the club - SP power on the grade crossing.
Brian
Thanks Tom, I appreciate it!
Jarrell
Brian; are those O scale? They look really heavy! Great photo![tup]
Brian- If that’s HO scale, where on earth did your club find those figures?
Yes, Tom. The little GE unit was a big U28B until being scared into a 44 ton switcher. [}:)]
Hi all: Thanks for the kind words. JaRRell, I really like the train coming up out of the mist. How’d you do that? Garry, great shot, I like the humor of the crows being attracted to the scary crow! And, that corn looks so real, I’d like to pull a half doz. ears for dinner tonite!
That’s just an MRC decoder shorting out and starting to smoke.[:D]
Seriously, excellent start to WPF this week!!!
Many thanks… The corn is a Busch product listed in Walthers catalog.
I finally got my caboose “fleet” into service
Still need to get my hands on a sheet of number decals.
Aside from the fact that I found no evidence that the Monon ever owned any cabs of these types, these are very prototypical. [:D] The layout of their caboose markings tended to vary with the whims of whoever was doing the painting, so from that perspective my modeling is spot on!
Thanks - it is HO, and the figures are from Preiser, with some slight repainting - you’ll see that the July 2008 MR front cover features a few Preiser figures too.
Brian
Always liked your layout

Here is my newest locomotive BN SD60M #9250 getting ready to emerge from Big Bed Tunnel with a train of empty coal cars!
Its only fitting you have a SD60m, sound or no sound?
