    Welcome back to my favorite thread! It is not only a privilige to present this thread every week, it is an honor to showcase TrainBoard's best and brightest!

    First up is the smallest fire extinguisher I have ever seen scratchbuilt--I wonder if John Warren's Fire Extinguisher is at least a 2A-10BC type?

    Jon Grant is a regular on this thread, and his latest scene, IMG_9393 is finely detailed--from the scenery materials to the towing clevises on the Chevy truck's bumper:

    Imagine rocking gently side to side at the train negotiates low rail joints, and you're trying to slow a train on Tracy McKibben's Brakeman's Perspective:

    Mikelhh is also a regular, and for good reason. I love the reflection from MEC #801 on the wind-agitated water:

    Don't you go nowhere, ya hea'? There' more coming shortly!

    Next up is a modified InterMountain caboose, courtesy of Barlowfaudio. ATSF 999257 has been detailed, repainted, windows redone, and it looks great:

    All aboard Extra 462 West!! Thanks to Wolfgang Dudler, the Rio Grande comes alive once again:

    Not visible in this view, but the ends of the cars say "Do Not Hump" on this heavily modified set of ram53's TTX Maxi III 40' rebuilds:

    More yet to come! Stay tuned! :D

    Thankyou very much for including my caboose. fyi on the IM window treatment, if you drill them in the middle with a small drill they pop right out. Opening then filled with Kristal Klear.

    It is a very nicely curated selection. I found all of those worth looking at. And there is even some euro train action YAY!

    Thanks!
