fitz kicks us off with some feedwater heaters-- While on the subject of steam, Mark Watson finds this old CB&Q 5508-- N-Builder takes us to the Berea Corridor-- bravogjt takes a trip on the White Pass & Yukon--
Flash Blackman goes to 2006 for this ole C&NW-- A "rebirthed" SOUTHERN 154 pulls excursion from bierbass-- That's all for this week. Thanks to those who contributed; keep 'em coming. See ya next week!!!
This is what is listed as the description for this photo that bierbass posted. The Gulf and Ohio, a local shortline, recently restored this Southern 2-8-0 was built in 1890. It had been donated to the City of Knoxville and on static display for 50 plus years. They stripped it all the way down to the frame and rebuilt it. It is heading up a local excursion train called the Three Rivers Rambler. A simple search of Southern 154 or Three Rivers Rambler will provide more info. There is also some footage on Youtube. :tb-biggrin: :tb-biggrin: :tb-biggrin: :tb-biggrin:
Right there. *points to layout* Ultimate satisfaction right there. Thanks for the selection Buddy! You made my day.
Wait a minute. Did I accidentally post a "Modelling" shot and thought it was the real thing? Better get my glasses checked again. :tb-wink:
Mark, It's an excellent shot. I just posted it as the first in the MPOTW thread. Buddy, The same thing happened to me a couple time when i was doing the RPOTW thread. No worries. There are some excellent modelers here.
I agree and if it was truly by accident then all you have done is given the Ultimate Complement to the modeler/photographer for mistaking a model photo to be real. Trust me, there are some Model RR shots that truly look real and to me that is what the modeler/photographer is trying to achive. :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:
Great job Mark!!! Buddy, thanks for picking one of mine this week and last week too. Best Wishes, Dan
Amen to all of the above comments about our members skills at modeling. I came very close to choosing model photos when I filled in for the normal POTW moderator. And, thanks for choosing one of mine, Buddy. :tb-biggrin:
Albums or Railimages? Question for SteamDonkey, BuddyBurton, and other "photo of the week" organizers. When you are choosing photos, do you choose them from Railimages, from the Trainboard albums, or both?
I make my choices from RailImages. There are links for photos from the last 1, 7, 14, and all days. Mostly it is the "last 7 days" that I look at.
