    Train number 5, the Argonaut, gets a P-13 class engine on the point today for the leg from Houston to El Paso. This started out as an Arnold Rapido 4-6-2 that I have had for about 40 years. I kit bashed it ten years ago and it is still grinding away. The RPO is made up of J&J brass sides and resin roof on a Bachmann shorty coach chassis with Microtrain trucks.

    WOW!!! Russell, what an excellent photo!! I feel I am looking out a window in a nearby farmhouse.

    Here is my submission for the week. Same place as last weekend, different look to it I think, and a different train to boot.

    Hi, all,

    Posting some photos of recent visit with good Trainboard
    friend William Cowie while I was passing thru Denver recently:

    Denver is a great railroad town, both in models (this is just one of
    the HO brass aisles at Caboose Hobbies:

    [​IMG]


    As well as former DRGW, Santa Fe, Joint Line trackage. This is the
    current lineup of stored UP locos at Denver:

    And a soon-to-be-retired SD90:

    Have a good week, all!

    What's wrong with the SD90's? I thought they were a modern locomotive, a 10-15 year old design.....?

    Are they retiring SD90s? The 6000 hp ones?

    Only the 6000 hp SD90's. The SD9043's stay.(Basically they are SD70M's) The one pictured is a SD9043.

    Golly, that doesn't sound like faint praise. Thank you very much...I am flattered. In that spirit, here is a slightly different view. I call this a bursting into morning light. The car interiors are still lit after a night's travel, but the T1 has nearly done its work, signified by the first rays of the dawning Sun. I hope you like it.

    Micro Engineering speeder kit/ two per package. It was a simple to construct. The kit has a white metal casting for the frame, engine, wheels; the superstructure is five injection molded parts. I am unsure of how it should be weathered further. Right now it only has some black washes.

    Thanks, Crandell. It's just a treat for me to see a Pennsy T-1. That's a beautiful shot.

    Great little scene, Flash!

    I've bought a few trees. But I need twice as much. :angel:

    I just finished installing Digitrax DZ125 decoders in these two husky brutes, both Athearn BB's, an F7-A and a GP50.

    A 2-8-0 takes on coal before sand and water. That's the Somerset Junction kit from N-Scale Architects--really good looking.
