WPF shot down in a ball of flames - let's start over

Okay, so this is two weeks in a row that WPF has been hijacked. So for those of us just looking for fun model railroad photos, how about starting over. I’ll re-post some of my limited inventory to start off

Here’s a couple of out-takes from the “aerial layout photos” thread:

So let’s get back to the “fun” part!

Jim

another test movie. well I thought it was going to be a test movie. I give up. I have tried the copy paste. it dosen,t work with mozilla. period. unless somebody with mozilla firefox has figured it out no need to reply to this post. Thank you anyway.

Glenn

I use Mozilla Firefox, but I’m also on a Mac. Hopefully Mozilla did not change the software drastically for the different OS’s.

Let’s define what you are trying to do. Are you trying to post a URL link to the video, or are you trying to embed the video?

Jim, I really like your first pic. If you don’t mind a suggestion, painting the rails would really improve the realism. While easier to do before scenicking, with some crafty masking it should still be possible.

Glenn, even with just the image, the sweeping S curve is really very attractive.

I know this was also posted in the other WPF, but this is probably a better place to have it.

I worked on my Santa Fe Hi-Level interiors this weekend. One coach now has seatbacks, just two more to go [:slight_smile:]:

I also did a lot of work on the new diner interior, essentially using the figures and details I used in the custom interior (seen above in the middle of the photo) I made a few years ago. I know it’s wasteful to have a new interior, but I prefer this prototypical one a lot more:

Anyone need a cold one [:D]:

Jim, nice photos. I like the use of the kitchen cabinets underneath the layout. Good clean storage space.

Matt, good work on the interiors.

Let’s try this:

Glenn, great job.

Very nice layout I like the ransition between the film splits.

Not exactly model railroading, but a few railfanning pics I took this past week on our week-long road trip to Glacier NP and through Montana…

The first is a brand-new, shiny BNSF ES44DC in the yard at Shelby, MT:

I thought this next one was a pretty neat shot - Heritage I, II, and III, but not necessarily in that order [:)]. SD40-2, ES44DC, and Dash-9 - pretty maids all in a row [:)]:

Former Milwaukee Rd station, now home to law offices and whatnot (including a small McDonald’s) in Great Falls, MT:

Here’s a couple of overall shots of my layout. The only area not shown is a soewhat mountainous area which I’m not really satisfied with.

stokesda,

Love the ex-MILW station. Looks like a cathedral dedicated to the Great God of the Flanged Wheel.[:-^]

Chuck (modeling Central Japan in September, 1964)

Good pics everyone.

New yard crane. UK OO scale

Hi fiatfan

I really like your industrial area. How deep is the benchwork there? My layout is in the building stage one module at the time and such an area would add a huge amount of operating fun.

Thank you

Frank

Stokesda - any idea where those are built? The reason I ask they look like the ones I see being tested outside my office window over at the GM Diesel plant in London, Ontario.

More railfanning shots

More expermenting with the camera. I was always wondering what those knobs and buttons did?[D)]

This model is a refugee from the parts box. Bachmann body, Tyco chassis and Athearn trucks. One thing about it baffles me, it runs fine with plastic wheels but will derail every time with metal wheels.

You all seen one side of my switch tower, so here’s the other side of it. If you look close, you might be able to see the light inside.

For those of use who are ignorant - what does WPF stand for?

Thanks!

Weekend Photo Fun (or not)

Weekend Photo Fun

It’s the title to a weekly thread where people post pictures of their Layouts

and modeling progress

Speaking of Weekend (photo) Fun, I have gotten the Bandstand basically finished. There is still a lot of detailing to be done. I did a test fit last night after I installed the sidewalks (Yes I know they are way too dark for for concrete - that’s 'cause it ain’t concrete. Back 1925 around here we used something called Slate a lot. [:D]). Here isa a couple of photos I got of it:
