Weekend Photo Fun..2-8-2013..???

The Chinese have stopped working till 2/17 - they are celebrating the new year.  Seated figures from China are on back order ......

Just received my 2^nd K-Line (Lionel) Santa Fe SD75 so now I have a two engine consist for my intermodal train.  This is my only modern era (90s and later) train, so it probably will not see much run time on my late-40s era layout.  It is a neat train to watch.

Beautiful photos this week - thank you one and all..... Now that we have DCS operating on at least part of layout, thank you, Barry, we are unpacking and running some of our MTH steamers and electrics - very exciting.....

One of our New Haven electrics coming into pickup some commuters....

Sure, we have GG-1's, but I love our FF-2's the best....

Thank you fellas for the nice encouraging comments!

Yeah, that's ole Thin Head Ed hiding behind the A pillar again! 

Don...that barbeque with the Homies looks like it could get a little rough once the drinking begins!!.

Great pictures everyone...

Jeff(484),

Lad, you've got an Oscar for best picture. Brilliant work!

Rick

WOW, such great work and terrific photos.  c.sam, that 4936 is gorgeous.  I've never seen a model with such a high gloss finish.  It reminds me of the GG-1 at the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum.  Is that an MTH unit?

Jeff,

This is one of the sharpest scenes I ever viewed on this forum. The guardrail is fantastic.

A new siding

Re-did the ground cover on the mountain and added some bushes to the yard area. Also added a dirt path for the HoBo's.

Think Spring.

Jeff.......that is awesome!

Peter

Great pics as always! Here is one of Daddy and the boys doing some rail-fanning

I started off wanting to compliment one particular modeler for the shot that he posted, but realized that if I wanted to compliment each modeler that posted pictures that I think are awesome then I would have 39 replies!!!!

These are some of the nicest pictures that I have seen in Scott's thread.  Congrats to all.

I agree with the comment regarding Jeff's photo, it is simply one of the best I have ever seen. The two vintage Studebakers are a nice addition to the other exceptional scenery.

As regards drivers in the Studebakers he noted that he still had details to add.

I so agree that the scene with the Studebakers  is fantastic.  But there is a but.  Please add drivers behind the steering wheels.  That would perfectly finish it.

Hi Ron.  No, it's actually a Williams scale model (non-powered) from back when they first produced the scale-length GG1s. 

Well...I am a "rookie" at this, but here I go!

Here is my MTH Railking M-1a, pulling a coal drag through town.

As we dig out of the Blizzard, I let some of my MTH engines loose on the layout.

I guess I really should try for a more realistic look than this after looking at many of the above!! Greg

Progress on our CN 6 TRACK ABBA SHOP.

All:

Exceptionally nice round of pics this week.  Thanks for sharing!

I respectfully submit that if you're having a ton of fun with your hobby of trains, that you consider pursuing what is fun for YOU and try not to concern yourself with what others do.  This is your own personal hobby... pursue it the way you enjoy it best!

Just sayin'.

Andre

trainbrain how about this one.

Great pictures, everyone!

Enjoy!

Alex

Very nice Alex!! What did you use for the walls? Styrofoam sheets?

that looks familar.....

Jeff, 

nothing wrong with a snail's pace...... With results like these

After 3+ years on the Forum, this is the first time I've posted any pictures of our massive (4' x 6' !! ) basement layout.  Yes, it's small, but I can't place a value on the quality time spent with my 8-yr. old son building it!

Joe...that is a beautiful layout....in this case size has nothing to do with it!!  Very fine job indeed....

Alan

Wow thats really looking good!! Nice Job

It's 1950 and somewhere between San Francisco and Los Angeles the small rural town of Beawslaiw is located on the Southern Pacific main line.  The town is also the hub for the branch line Brisbane and Bushong Railroad.  The B&B RR has a small yard and its offices in the town of Beawslaiw.  There is also a busy train station that handles passengers for both the SP and the B&B. A a small street in town runs right along the SP tracks.  There are a couple of nice houses on that street.  One is a simple white company house and the other a beautiful grey house that was built by its owner.  Both are great neighbors.  On the south  side of the white house is an empty lot.  A dad brings his son there to watch the SP Daylight glide into the station down the road.  A hobo can be seen walking the line.  It's a nice little neighborhood!

Joey looking VERY NICE!

WOW BOLI GREAT WORK.

Patrick, thanks for the positive comment on my work!  It has been slow going, but progress is being made.  I have been watching the progress on your railroad as well and the results of your efforts have been amazing and an inspiration.  Thanks again, Bo
