    Looking good folks. Especially chopping up steam locomotives. [​IMG]
    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!

    I had a project for making Texas-Mexican locomotives last summer. Here are the three I made. First, a GP9.

    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! :D :D

    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! :D :D

    I just realized the photo I posted earlier in this thread was a re-run from a few weeks ago. Getting old is tough. :( [​IMG] [​IMG]
    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! [​IMG]
