    Nice photo Russ, thanks for posting. Is that the "Hill Country Flyer" or what ever they call it? Any more photos of 786?

    a little more work on the 'Bushy Creek' module; attempting to get it ready for the WS Deep pour water before the Orlando NMRA National Train show:

    a little weathering of the Kato double track girder bridge...

    then some painting, decaling, washing, and weathering of the highway bridge...

    I hope to be able to pour the 'murky water' by the beginning of next week...

    I don't think I posted a picture of my finished BNSF 2229 and its real life counterpart.

    Excellent reproduction! And I must say that's a fair amount of primer...

    I agree Bruce, I think it looks good. Now try some water effects on the surface and you will be amazed.

    I think that critter is about to loose some teeth.

    What's on my workbench is finding their way into Priority Shipping Boxes to be delivered to whomever wants to fix them and put them back into service.

    I'm tired of playing Mr. Fix It....!!!!!!!!

    Other than a few scenic details, this is my first large project with a Shapeways item.

    Now that we've gotten past Hurricane/TS Nate with minor impact to our home (we're situated on one of the very few bluffs along this part of the upper Gulf Coast, overlooking Mobile Bay, at 245' above sea level-we received VERY little rain and wind compared to the communities located just east and west of us-hoping Phillip and the others fared as well...), I'm back to the desk, finishing this round of structures for future T-TRAK modules...along with the two Showcase Miniatures 'route 66' kits, I've been also building the Red River Models 'Tower 55'...a very nicely engineered laser cut MDF kit...just a few details need to be added, then I'll glue the roof to the simulated rafters, paint and lightly weather. (I can't wait to get started on the Red River Models Albuquerque Depot...and I understand He's also working on a San Bernandino Depot!!!!!)

    Right now, my workbench has a caboose, a boxcar, 3 MOW cars and a loco waiting for the CFO to free up a purchase from Microscale, and a bunch of Woodland Scenics tree kits
