Weekend Photo Fun August 21, 2009

Saw this all the time when I lived in Durham, NC from 1984 to 1990. The Southern/NS would deliver 1 to 3 hoppers to the Duke University Hospital power plant siding 2 or 3 times a week.

Wonder how the portable toilet company knows how to find it when it is time to change it out?

 

Great pics this week.

First try on this Forum

I'm new to this Forum....model MKT & CB&Q in HO.

 

Those sure are good pictures. I hope you will post again next week. Always good to have more in the H0 forum. Welcome to TrainBoard! :thumbs_up:

(Is there anything I forgot?)

 

Tomkat, those are indications of no mean ability. Really nicely done!

 

Thank you for the praise....



I model a freelance bridge RR the Missouri & Arkansas Railway used by the CB&Q & MKT that takes place in Eastern Missouri. The line starts out at Old Monroe Mo on the Cuivre River at MO. State Highway 79, then west to Hawk Point then south along MO. State Highway 47 across the old Wabash / Norfolk & Western RR line near Warrenton Mo. thru Missouri Wine Country to connect with MKT near Marthasville Mo. on State Highway 94. Since this is "my" railroad most places will have the "flavor" of this area but may not be perfect to the prototype. Time is pre Burlington Northern (1970). The location & time frame gives me a lot of room of equipment I can use plus freight cars from so many different Railroads from all over the country. As with many railroads built in the 1800’s they never reached all the way as planned. So they never made it all the way to Arkansas.
#1 This will be a point to point RR built on Hollow-core doors (about $24 ea) along two walls, so it will be in sections.
#2 It's going to be less track, no yard, no switch machines, open staging, & simple engine service area.
#3 Just a few small towns with one or two sidings.
#4 More open scenery between towns.
#5 Interchange with RR on each end.

Hello all, been awhile. Great photos and talent as usual. As for me, have managed to do a bit of detailing and installing of Tsunami decoders. Below is a GP9e and SD9e. Both with 567 Tsunami and 1" speakers. Love how they sound.

 

I don't think they are railfan's.
