Mike, great cabooses! I really should order one from scott. I had thoughts of scratch building some, but you know how that goes. And great work by everyone else as usual.
Mike Great looking cabooses! nscale_lover Nice gondolas and green train! friscobob Cool looking units! Geeky Looks like the layout is progressing well! Flash Great looking boxcars! Russell Terrific looking units! Bob Great shots! Like the weathering on the cars! John Breen What a cool looking unit! Brian Great looking locos! Awesome job with the flat car! satokuma Great little scene! Overshoe Awesome shot! Loco1999 Those are some really nice looking units!
Here is my almost too late contribution. I have been running some passenger trains on the layout; mostly to test things with the longer cars. More in the weekly Roll-by topic!
Tom: Great weathering on that Reading diesel. I like the weathering of the trucks and fuel tank in particular. Stay cool and run steam....
Thanks Bob and Tom. Tom, I'll second that Great weathering! Bob, I really like the black widow's! Time for some trackplanning for me. Keith
part 1 Hi, all, There is a good recap thread on the Nottingham Model Railway Exhibition in Nottingham, UK this past weekend 3/18, over at: http://www.trainboard.com/ultimatebb.php/ubb/get_topic/f/13/t/002739 Here's my additions. The venue: Lining up to enter: British style shadowbox display layout, staging is in back: British style switching layout: Closeup British style 'shunter' (i.e. switch engine): Another view of "Dalmally" layout: A view of the On3 North American theme Logging layout "Three Chop Highlands" More in the next post.
part 2 HO North American theme Ellison Yard: HO Santa Fe RSD-15 Alligator (you knew I had to slip a Santa Fe shot in somehow: Probably 2000 people passed thru the doors on Sat March 18: Met Alan Curtis of Alan Curtis Models (smile!) - delightful to meet and talk to: Met some super guys from NMRA British Region, from left, Chris Hobbs (VP), me, Nobby Clarke (President): Would never have met / connected these two if I'd not been member of NMRA. (as you might imagine, in UK, NMRA members are interested in North American prototypes). Thanks, again, *all*, who helped get me to Nottingham for the show. T'was a thrill and a special event. More pictures when I have time to organize.
NYC, I've got one of those towers too. Well, it's late but I wanted to share my latest project. Atlas FP7 I painted for CGW here's what it looked like before http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/7365/santafe220vg.jpg
Another late entry, but here ya go. I detailed per the prototype but it only took me three weeks to complete, a new record for me. With Code 55 going down, now all my N scale has grab irons, lift rings and wipers standard. Secret Weapon, I must find the EL caboose kits, I have a customer that I'm paint EL for and he wants a correct caboose.
I guess I'll go along and buck the time limit, too. Here's the first photo I've taken using a simple pinhole lens for my digital camera made of aluminum foil:
I have one more late submission... my brand new daughter born on Saturday [ March 21, 2006, 10:55 PM: Message edited by: nscale_lover ]
Another submission for late entry week, as I finally finished my N scale Southern GP38 project. ---jps
