"Greetings, earthlings! Take me to your finest model railroads!" It would be my pleasure.... First up, a proud SD&AE modeler takes us to the Golden Country: OC Engineer JD has some heavy lifting to do, and this all-terrain forklift is just the ticket: Marty Coil converted this "Wobbly" Connie from coal to oil for service on the WP west end: Central Ice is busy handling refrigerated cargo on maandg's pike:
Heavyweight varnish polishes the rails in the background of r_i_straw's Richmond, TX module: Mikelhh put a D&H RS-36 to work hauling tonnage: I don't normally double up a member's photos, but Brian K's custom work caught my eye this week. First up is a custom ES44AC--in Conrail?!? Secondly, relatively few modelers custom paint autoracks. Here's a custom Providence and Worcester 'rack:
PAL_Houston's Galena Jct depot: Bookbear1 took us to a warm summer night in Willoughby--I can almost taste an icy cold Coke, and hear the crickets softly chirping.... John Moore converted a 4-8-4 into a 4-8-0: And last, but certainly no least, gpa shared his Lumber Lead trestle. This mudhole looks so soupy, sticky and real, I think if I stepped in it, I would sink to my knees: See you next week!!!
All very good work - very hard to pick a favorite, though maandg's Central Ice is the kind of grimy industrial scene I really like.
