Weekend Photo Fun 5-27-22-??

Beautiful weathering on your rolling stock, and tracks.  Excellent pics Steve'.. What, where publication will your article be published? 

Craig: is that a video of YOUR layout and train room?  really nice either way

thanks - walt

Here is the final proposed mock-up (of the Norm Charbonneau full scale backdrop) @ 10% actual size, for gunrunner John’s yard area. For final approval,  I feel a scale model gives a more accurate representation, rather than a distorted composition created in photoshop, as proposed previously.

Waiting for John’s approval.

On this Memorial Day week-end, some raw video from Saturday's club operations:

A new Thomas LionChief debuts and is available for young and old visitors to the club:

Les' MTH GP-35:

Dave's Pat's Trains Special Legacy B&O in blue:

Raphael's new to him MTH AMTRAK Genesis:

Chief Drew's LIONEL GP-35s and Wisconsin Central (?)

My apologies for shaky camera work, poor composition, etc.  Hoping to improve.

Walt,

Yes, that's my layout in my basement train room.

@SIRT, what is that in the gondola? Is that gravel? Did you make it? I know the answer is probably, "Yes of course".

A few random shots from Altoona:

Some great figures Neal. What ones are they or a mix of different types?

That would be an MTH HOPPER. Glued gravel over the coal and spray painted the gravel primer grey. Also cut the plastic tabs and lowered the excessively high MTH load.

Backdrop approved! Next stop Gunrunner John’s layout! I can’t wait to see it installed.

Dave,

The ones that you see in the closeup photos are from Artistta.

Well, I've been somewhat out of circulation for the past year since retiring an moving to Arizona. Last weekend, I finally pulled a train out and visited the Paradise and Pacific O Gauge club and ran for a while on their layout. Ironically, the locomotives were the last ones I ran at AGHR before I moved.

Congrats on the retirement! I was just at that club during spring break and it is a very impressive facility. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your equipment running the rails there!!
