WOW, BAR GP7, that is handsome and realistic. But don't you know you are not supposed to take photos of real-life and try to pass them off as modeling? 

Yup, it's that  good. Congratulations on such success at modeling.

Playfully, FrankM.

FrankM,

Thank you very much. I hope at my scenery work is some day even half so good than yours. 

I'm so glad you were able to take that message exactly as I had intended it, as a total compliment. I thought I'd take the chance that you would, based on the theory that creating such a scene as yours takes a pretty level-headed and well-grounded guy, so I figured you'd know I was being sincere.

And thank you, most kindly, for the compliment, too! It would be most enjoyable if we worked on a layout together; I'd enjoy learning from you. And if artists like SIRT and Norm C, for example, and several others, joined the layout team,can you imagine the resultant respectable effort?

(Communicating on forums, IMO, can get tricky. With the absence of voice inflection and facial expression, much can be lost in communicating our true intentions and feelings. Sometimes, we just take a chance on being understood. I trusted that I had established my self as a voice here that was not given to being wry or sarcastic.)

FrankM.

Thanks again FrankM,

That would be a super nice and a big honor to me, i can take the next flight from Finland to USA. The distance is only about 4100 miles. Okay just joking. It's very nice share pictures and read some comments here in great forum. Yes, we can always learn something new here even at i am here another side of world. Yes, this is world greatest hobby.

Thanks,

Johan

Here's my MTH New York Central Dreyfuss Hudson set.  The first addition of my 2016 roster.  I got it just in time before the snowstorm hit.

Heres a few more pics for this weekend from Patsburg!

Cordiality, civility and camaraderie, plus a common interest, shortened that distance considerably, didn't it, Johan.

Here's a few shots of our trains running at AGHR:

Here is a video of my last run of the Christmas season.  You can now see why I can't run any trains under the tree.  I have an O gauge enthusiast who has to get into the action. 

 

I could sure have used that snow plow this weekend!

Quick video of my new MTH weed sprayer set. Sound from the unit is very muffled and fuzzy. Seems to be the norm and I don't really like it. I'll have to see if there's a way to fix it. 

What is the MTH part number? Maybe an early Proto 2.0 with a deteriorating speaker?

20-2251-1   - I thought of that - took off the gas tank and looked at backside of speaker only - seems to be ok but I want to check the front. I took the shell off the body as well to blow off any dust inside the cab but it was very clean as well. heres a better video of the sound.

An industrial narrow gauge loco left to rot in the weeds.

That's a very nice vignette and vista, Richard E.
