WEEKEND PHOTO FUN 6/27/14-??

Dave,

This photograph in my opinion depicts rural Americana.  It is a superb scene!

Dave C..........WOW

Bill,

I always like your photos of the Seattle and Yakima.  However the name screams Pacific Northwest!  Please enlighten me on the Statue of Liberty near the Drive In.

Thank you.

Mark, that area is a small park that has a reproduction of the Statue of Liberty put out by K-Line many years ago. I think that RMT has that tooling now.

Bill,

Yes, I see the totem poles too.  That makes for a nice park.

Thank you for the reply, and please keep the photos coming.

I'm sure that this is even more impressive in person.

Now, that train is worth its extra fare!  Very nice video.

Recent mild custom work, Bragdon pigments weathering...I'm learning about this technique:

 The truck is a Plymouth:

Here are some photos taken at the G&O Garden Railroad open house on the weekend of June 14 & 15.  The G&O is part of the San Leandro Historical Railway Society and is located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Thanks for looking, by the way, if you right click on a picture and then click "open link in new window", you will get a full screen view.

Another set of power for the Super Chief on the San Diego Club layout. I can never figure out which set to take down there so I just take a few. 

Powered A & B, Breakdown B unit, Dummy B unit, and Dummy A unit with crew figures and lights removed. There's no deadheading in rear units on this train.  

I think I can, I think I can

They're both great, Laidoffsick!

Again, very Nice!

Around the old Sacramento Loco Shops. Don

Enjoy the weekend ! 

Is that limo a Corgi and what model is it titled as?

That's awesome. Reminds me of a kid in his fathers shoes.

couple more shots of our trip to Owosso. This ride was great. We rode in the open air car right behind the locomotive! Kids loved it. Plus the theatrical train robbery.

Yesssss! ! ! !

Tom:

That is a sensational photo.

GEF,

That is an awesome picture.

Alan Graziano

Alan, your layout is one that I have to see when I am back in action.  I know it will go to the top of my list.  Great job on the layout and photo work.  Thank you for sharing.

Marty

Alan, I can't put into works how wonderful I think your layout is.  I sure wish I could see it some day but I live on the other side of the world......so your photo's will have to serfice.  I don't know where you find the time with all the great selling you are doing for OGR.  Your photo posting is something I always look forward to.

Steve, Lady and Tex

Marty....your layout inspired me and so a lot of what you see is because of what you did on your layout....especially the catenary.  My catenary is not complete yet and is about 30 feet from getting there!  I ran out of MTH wire and Midge is trying to find some for me...  You and Doty are welcome anytime...!!

Steve...Oregon is not that far away!!....if you can get here, you have a place to stay at our home during your visit.  My wife is quite the cook so lodging and meals will be provided!!

Thanks,

Alan

Amtrak Legacy #519 is becoming one of my favorite locomotives. Here it is posed on the Hale Gate bridge.

Patrick it's from a James Bond Car Collection Issue 92- La Salle Hearse & magazine -Dr No.Made by GE Fabbri.Or if it's the 2 door coupe is a Ford Fairlane from the same set. 

Hope that helps James

Back to making progress on my Union Station project. The last few days I have been working on the access doors that face Scott St. I am not happy with the door on the right and will redo the bottom of it.

Also included a picture from today of a BNSF freight headed north and Metra headed back to Chicago

And a few more, I have been working on windows as well.

Another shot from today showing UP heading south as BNSF heads north.

I'm posting from my phone, not sure why the pics are not showing up in the post itself.

Very nice work, Zett, impressive.

That photo of the BNSF eastward freight shocked me.  Is there only one  track left on the Rock Island (Metra)?  I did not think I would ever see such a thing.

Lionel Denver & Rio Grande Western SD50 diesel-electric locomotive in the desert.

Tom BNSF is headed north in both shots. There are 4 sets of tracks to the east of Joliets union station, these are the old GM&O / Santa Fe lines. The Rock Island line is now down to 1 track, Metra runs that line now.

I just won on eBay a 8454 Rio Grande GP-7 like in the above picture for $44 with free shipping, a real good deal and it runs and looks good. I'm trying to buy another as I like to double head Fundimensions GP's because of their plastic gears.

Where id you get the backdrop photo of the Sinclair refinery?  It looks great and I want one

That layout is the San Diego 3 Railers club layout, but all the back drops are from The Back Drop Warehouse.
