WEEKEND PHOTO FUN 10-9-15-??

Got my field done this week, goal was to finish before the snow started flying here in Ohio.

 

Here is my contribution.

Scott, nice shots.

Bryan, the field looks wonderful.

Happy weekend!

Since NS painted SD45-2 1700 back into its original road name and colors and released it last week, I thought this would be an appropriate shot. This is EL SD45 3620 and stable mate hammering a road crossing on my layout.

As York approaches, I get nostalgic about PostWar.

 

Here are 2 more of my New Haven sets. From 56 and 62, respectively. At York, I'll be on the hunt for more PostWar(and modern stuff, too).

 

 

 The O27 ALCO set is a really great runner.

Doctor, I really like your Mianne bench work.

Alex,

Fall means cold mornings. Even the dog wants to be in the house.

Was able to get some good work on the layout this past weekend due to all the rain we had. I'm leaving tomorrow for a NJ & PA business trip & won't be back till the 21, so I wanted to try & get some stuff done before I head out.

I moved the spur for pluming supply to the outside main & raised it a bit to get some different levels going on-

you can see the switch for the new spur. I also moved the signal bridge to that spot, as I felt you couldn't see it much in the back. All this means I had to give up the road crossing there. Without the road, the house had to move as well. I'm going to make an underpass in this spot to add some interest.

his shot shows where the old spur was. With the new room, I was able to expand the town a bit. So I can fit 3-4 buildings & a small hill to place a billboard on in that space. Also moved the signal on main 1 to be located just before the grade crossing now.

running some freight -

Two ex CR EMDs lead an intermodal through town on main 1 - The SD60M arrived this week

The buildings arrived yesterday & I placed them on the board so I can get a feel for what the new scene will look like -

Lorenzo was excited to help -

I don't get enthused about the Halloween season much, but I got some visitors to my layout this week, and it appears they aren't leaving.  My wife and daughter like to make additions to the layout.

 

 

Most recent overall view.  If you look closely on the street behind the church, you will see a brown bear to commemorate our daughter almost hitting a bear near our home with her car last week. 

May favorite RRs

 

Great pice everyone, here are some recent shots from TMB Club layout Bridge under construction and, hikers and Bear Mountain

Alexm,

 

Nice JOB! This would make a great how to article for the forum or the magazine for those of us that have never done anything like this.

 

Alan - Hope you see this.

Bill,

I have seen the Rio Grande heritage unit, but did not know there was a Western Pacific also.  Very handsome looking!

Nice pics everybody,  after a year with the old layout gone and building a new one we finally got to run a train.  We are still working on a elevated inner line but I think we are set on the outer line. Here's a few photos.  Nick

Here's a photo of the newest edition to the roster - a Williams Lehigh Valley that Gunrunnerjohn converted to TMCC for us. The sounds are fantastic! Thanks GRJ!

Thank you, Patrick!!

Patrick, could you e-mail me when you get a chance?  (Didn't see yours in your profile.)  I wanted to ask you something about one of your scenes.  Thanks.

Guys, great shots everyone.

 

I got one of the recent 3/2 N&W J Class engines. Not too shabby for this basement railfan.

 

 

It doesn't get any better than this!

 

You sir, are one of the best creating a realistic scene.    Absolutely stunning work.

It is raining here in Raleigh NC and I am in my garage running my trains.  I like rainy days, perfect excuse to be inside and running trains.
