It's zero degrees outside and we are expecting 12 inches of snow. Perfect time for a Selfie! Let's see your best Layout Selfie.

I hope to have it up in a couple of weeks. I've had a full plate lately and haven't been able to set aside a large block of time for editing.

Emile,
Sorry I do not do selfies of any kind.

Dave,
I never did selfies either until recently. I noticed that virtually everyone under 30 takes part in this peculiar art form. My kids are shocked that Dear Old Dad even knows what a Selfie is. I will send them my Layout Selfie today. I'll get text messages that everyone is Laughing Out Loud but later today, one of them will stop by to see the new Polar Railroad Snowplow and talk about trains for little bit. Selfies are Common Ground. Just another bridge between the generations. It's OK to look ridiculous every now and then.

Nice scene. Especially for today. I regret not picking up the Polar Railroad diesel and cars while they were released. They are scarce today on the used market. I've always loved that color scheme.

Nice picture Emile. I not did think about getting a selfie with my 2014 Christmas Layout! Maybe for my 2015 layout! Only 9 more months until I set it up again!!I look forward to seeing your 2014 video too!
What's a selfie? OK, now I know, a facial mug framed with object in a photo. No one over the age of 60 should be in a selfie, especially me. Photo's of trains are just fine with me............or maybe a pretty lady

A "Selfie" is just a picture that you take of yourself. Generally you hold the camera/cell phone at arms length with the lens pointed at you and snap a photo. It is difficult to frame the shot because you can't see through the view finder, it's just a random aiming of the camera. Newer cell phones come with a feature that allows you to see where the lens is pointed. It makes the screen of the camera look like a mirror. This has allowed for better shot composition and set off the "Selfie" craze among young people. They send each other pictures with no accompanying words because the background tells the message: "I'm at a concert" "I'm at the baseball game" "I just met this famous person" etc. or the Selfie could be a question: "Guess where I am". In my Selfie that starts this Topic the message is: "I'm spending my day playing with this custom Polar Express Snow Plow that I recently finished and have added to my layout." Everybody's face, regardless of age looks funny in a Selfie. That's part of the charm. It's intentionally self-deprecating.
Ask a young person to help you..it will give you an excuse to show them your layout. The next generation of Hobbyists have to come from somewhere.

Nice! I would consider - if I had a layout.... Hopefully next winter....
BTW, I didn't realize they did a Polar RR snowplow, or did you paint it yourself? If the latter, what color did you use & where can one get it?

I painted it myself with paint from my LHS. In order to provide better detail, I've started a separate thread for this answer. See: https://ogrforum.com/t...ad-snow-plow-project

Nice layout! You look ok too.
