Photo Fun: Often Ignored...

Great shots Rusty, thanks for sharing!

Photos really liven up these threads - Thanks Rusty

Very nice,indeed.

Nice shots. A really nice painted "action" posed figure can really make a scene pop. After noticing that so vividly in your pics I'm going to mice the people figures around on my layout placing the finest ones in best view.

Nice work Rusty!  I love the Alco, nice paint and decals!
Made me feel like I was there too!

Good results on both the photos and the story - enjoyed it.

Nice pics and I too, like your scare-stripe scheme you've come up with.

 

I assume that's an AM RS3?

 

If so... I thought it was "wrong" according to the S scale powers that be?  Looks mighty fine to me!!

Right on Andre!  One of the better moments was more lately realizing that the "s scale powers that be" were largely folks who would no longer influence me, my work and my modeling.  Largely a very nitpicking negative group trying to live in the S scale of far earlier days.  Gosh, we've always done it this way.
Thank Heaven for you, Rusty, Butch, Ed and others who encourage fine modeling, yet are positive about it all!

Yep, those are AM RS3's.  I'm sure there's a rivet or two out of place somewhere, but I don't worry about such things.  I come from the Goodenuff School of Model Railroading.

Rusty's RS-3's look darn fine to me.  As for the perfect RS-3, I think the only ones I've seen are the ones at the museum.   Weaver's in O scale has some issues, Atlas O has one that is over sized and Lionel, K Line all have issues.  Is there a perfect HO model?  Well as Rusty said "Goodenuff" and IMHO better than the choices in O for plastic RS-3's.
