I tried to contact Don Gould to kickoff Sunday Night Foto Fun, but he has not replied yet, so I figure he may be busy for the holiday weekend. Well, it's unofficial, but lets post some modeling pictures tonight in the spirit of SNFF. I'll start with a few pics of my latest project, The Widowmaker: ATSF Side Door Blind End Waycar The N Scale Model: The Prototype: [ 07. July 2003, 00:19: Message edited by: pray59 ]
Oh yeah, the Period Minatures Combination Depot. That was always one of my favorite kits. I had that one since before Laser Kits came out, and it required cutting the wood with an exacto knife. (a lost art I think) Those kind of kits left you feeling very satisfied when you were done. I made the decals on my Alps printer, although I need to learn the finer points of applying decals to real wood surfaces.
wow, that caboose is great! excuse the drool... that MRL looks good paul. i will share these photos even though they have probably been seen here before.
I have been blending in the scenery around my engine house. The engine house is almost done, I have to add the window "glass" and lights then I will put the scenery in around it. I got the mirror under the bridge finished and it is hard to tell where the real cars end and the reflection starts.
Here are a couple of pictures from around the engine servicing facilities on my layout. A quiet moment at the roundhouse: #30 getting some coal:
Dutchman, Nice shot of the Camelback coalin up! I like the Camelback loco's even tho I don't have the layout to really put them on right yet I have 2 of the small Mantua switcher Camelbacks! The 0-4-0 Goat, an the 0-6-0 B7a, which were factory painted B&O, which really makes the 0-6-0 a C-5a class, an the 0-6-0 a D-23 class.... I take it the Camelback you have thier coaling up is the 2-6-0 by IHC??? NICE looking Camelback! [ 16. July 2003, 01:17: Message edited by: 7600EM_1 ]

Somebody help the new pic guy with the how to's of adding the photos... [ 08. July 2003, 21:25: Message edited by: Beaumont Yard ]
Yes, that is the IHC unit. Model Power will be re-releasing the Mantua Camelbacks later this year. When they do, I will get a few. Right now, it is either IHC or brass.
Dutchman, I need to get me a Mantua 2-8-0 Camelback to make it B&O.. And then whatever other one I can think of to have a sortment of them on my B&O roster collection! Altho, recently they are hard to get...And prices on them are up their aways! In time tho, I'll have atleast a 2-8-0 Camelback! If I have to make the thing myself!
It worked, I can;t believe it worked! The photo shows UP # 717 pushing gondolas for the gravel yard into the siding, with the soon to be torn down grain silos in the background. [ 15. July 2003, 19:56: Message edited by: Beaumont Yard ]
UP #717 switchng cars off the interchange track to spot at selected industries. The Neches River Industrial Park serves 4 indutries and will soon be adding container and TOFC service.
Ahh, my favorite Diesel, the Art Deco styled GP-30. Nice scene Beaumont Yard. Your ballast profile looks great.
