Looking good folks. Especially chopping up steam locomotives. I have been away from internet access for over a week so need to do some catching up. Here is a shot of the Ford Dealership in Richmond that a friend built for the Richmond Modules.
I am slowly introducing my wife to the concept of an upper and lower railroad. Thank you, Loco for the shots.
Jon, good work. At first view I thought of an ESU decoder when I saw the speaker. The place under the roof is very good, I used it with my steam engine ELNA too. You can hear it in a webvideo at the FREMO meeting in Heinsberg. A steam engine with sound is so much fun! Wolfgang
Paul Great looking cabooses! Loco1999 I am so jealous of your benchwork. It looks great! Tad Nice job on the loco! Bob Nice layout shots! John Sing Great shots! Nice looking switcher! John W Cool shot with the bridges! Jon Great looking little switcher! Russell Nice looking town!
Nice shots! I've just been way too busy to photograph anything lately. It looks liek after Christmas that I get any free time.
I had a project for making Texas-Mexican locomotives last summer. Here are the three I made. First, a GP9. GP35 (I should change the turbocharging...someday.) Athern GP60. Good running engine! Actually, I did these and put them away. This is a good time to get them out and run some trains!
Yes. It's just strip styrene, that is, shapes cut out and glued together. I know there are some very nice commercial parts available, but I get a lot of fun from just making them myself, if I can. I usually just try it. If it works out, okay; if not, I get the commercial part. I usually work from a picture and make it look like that. I must say that often I don't know what the part does or how it works; I just make it look right. Knowing how it works is for those guys on the real railroad forums!

Thanksgiving morning, at the west end of the Cheyenne, WY UP yards, witha BNSF DENLAU freight on the overpass:
I just realized the photo I posted earlier in this thread was a re-run from a few weeks ago. Getting old is tough. Well, anyway, here is one I just uploaded.
Looks great, Russell. Good depth of field. That house would have been a good place to live, being close to the tracks like that!
