On the Bellevue and Schenectady RR we are home to the General Electric Company and the plants production has been quite high! The flats are weathered scale Menards cars with custom decals for GE on the repro transformers. As they say " We bring good things to life!"

Farmer Bill,

 

Yeah, it's me.  The kid has taken over my layout.  Now, I'm just the poor slob who pays for everything, including the reflective tape!

Neal,

I thought Steven's face looked familiar.  I met you both at Patrick H's.  Steven looked like a pro that night.  You are most blessed to have a hobby you both love!  What a good tutor Steven has!

Get used to that.  It keeps happening all through college too.

A Lionel CONRAIL Pullman-Standard 60' auto parts boxcar and an Atlas O SSW COTTON BELT ACF 60' auto parts box car together like they used to be in the trains headed to the Fisher Body part stamping plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan during the 1990's.

 

The font used for CONRAIL looks like a remake of the COTTON BELT font.

With the recent thread concerning the Menard's 50ft flats cars and some complaining about the holes were the trucks are connected. This should shut them up. They look really good and it would be hard to tell the difference from the Lionel PS4 flats given the same weathering treatment.

I like the transformers. Where'd you pick those up?

Thanks guys. I took the quick shots with my phone and the overview photo was kicking around on my iPad for a week or so. Taking photos right after finishing some scenery helps me find mistakes and things I may have missed. This time the camera shows that I need to run over my track with another pass of Grimy Black and I need to fill in the ties on south end of the bridge approach.

Stunning photograph Norm.  Your work is always an inspiration!

 

What do you use for lighting?  The third photo (the one of the switch tower) looks as though it was taken in the sun - the shadows and colors look perfect.

 

Thanks you for posting,

Don

Thanks.
