    Here is an old one to kick things off this week end. I need to get inspired to take a new bridge shot for the week end modeling contest. ;)

    Heres an area I have been working on. The house is a model of the house I lived in as a child. Not quite finished yet though . The field in front will eventually be a pasture......Mike

    With the onslaught of new Kato Amtrak cars, I saw the need for another baggage car.

    Nice looking photos. I think Secretweapon has a new camera? Nice details on the E8.

    I'm getting tread for counting with model trains. Here's one.

    The beginnings of my first ever scratchbuilt car - a simple flatcar (missing couplers, underbody details, side pockets, and every other non-wood detail). It's the weekend, and I had FUN building it... :tb-tongue:

    Seriously though, very nice work!

    It was considered but the owners wife didn't like True Grit, although he does. We ran out of time in the day and it is later than the era of the layout. I looked up the running time of the movies and tried to set up the schedule to keep the marathon within 12 hours. If you notice, the start time of the next movie takes into consideration the length of the movie before + 10 to 15 minutes for a break between.

    Tony -

    Don't forget the time needed for 'preview of coming attractions' ... 'movietone news' ... the weekly 'serial episode' and probably between one to three cartoons! :D Gawd I loved those days! :thumbs_up:

    A great scene. Thanks for sharing it.

    Life Like GP18 shell converted to a GP9 using the Gold Medal Models product for that purpose. It is powered with the newer Life Like split frame GP20 mechanism. I did this around 1995, a long time before Atlas made their nice GP9.

    No new camera Flash. The tremors in my hands have subsided a lot. That's how I'm able to do decaling & weathering.:tb-biggrin:
