Here is some of my British N scale that I have been collecting. It is always fun to run at a local train show.
Here is some GP7 action, 4 geeps with 35 2 bay hoopers, you can see in the background the cars rolling in the distance.
Since the MOP crew is posting, I've got to contribute. This is a view of Van Buren as you walk into the train room And a close up of the east end of the yard This lighting valance is the greatest thing since sliced bread (for now)
SNFF 2007 04 13 Here's my contribution for the week, continuing with my weathering of the passenger fleet. A lightly weathered Santa Fe E6 in N scale: - - - - - - - - - We can see improvement areas in the above shot, like painting the inside of the plastic grabiron footsteps to be silver - - - - - - - - - And I need to use a black magic marker on the brass flywheel, which is right now visible thru the side window. Have a good week, all!
Mopman, your pictures look good. What's about a few close up pictures? For the old eyes? :angel: Wolfgang
Wolfgang, there's not much detail to take closeups of (yet). You must have the same eyes I have mg:mg: Love that warbonnet John.
I'm with you Pooll Guy. For the modern scene, I'd much prefer a regional road to any of the mega-merger beheamoths. I guess thats why I'm so attracted to the 1950s. Speaking of which, here is a pic of a father and son railfanning the Reading's Lebanon Valley branch in the summer of 1956. A pair of RDG RS3s passing under Sharp's Run road with an eastbound coal drag. It was taken on one of my NTRAK modules several years ago.
river_eagle, I like the weekly mag style photo with the article titles. Kind of a week in review. Cool. Eric
thankx, I can't take credit for the idea, it has changed the way I setup and take pics though, trying to get at least one cover type shot for each scene. but it's kinda fun, and picking current popular thread topics that fit a cover type article is the hardest part.
I finally got two engines done for my dad. He models his own railroad named the Wyoming Central. The colors are my parent's wedding colors. This RS4/5 is numbered 1114 which is the birthdate of my nephew. It is also named "Jack Jack" which is his current nick-name. I will post the other picture in a bit since I am having trouble getting it uploaded to Rail Images.
I have an area on the layout that will be the home for a long viaduct. I have always liked big bridges, and this will be one of them on the layout. This one is about 3 1/2 feet long, and will double as a OneTrack module. Still a lot to do. I need to add a walkway yet, guard rails, and paint and weather.
