Colonel: Your pics gave me a flashback to railfanning the real Katy in & around Denison, TX and Parsons, KS. The "rode-hard-and-put-up-wet" weathering job on the green GP40s is dead-on!
Great stuff guys. All I have this week is a quick snapshot taken with a disposable camera. This started out as an N scale Bachmann Plasticsville "Georgia Mansion" that I added some stuff to the roof. This is a stand in for the Court House that will go on the Richmond NTRAK modules.
Too hot to model... So I railfanned a bit instead: 7 UP units get a dog freight moving out of Cheyenne: (only 4 were loading) Light's all wrong, but here's a going-away shot, with the prime movers being notched up: Lastly, prioroty stacks thunder out of town behind 4 new GEVOz: p
Hey Herman, Fantastic job !!!!!!!!!! Flash, Nice tanks. J. Breen, Nice weathering,esp. the ATSF engine Colonel, Always Great. CSX 1, Very nice UP Mike WOW.& I don't even like the UP..
Hogswarts Express returning to Sydney after taking over 1000 Harry Potter fans (almost all in costume) to 'Hogsmeade' (actually Moss Vale) to pick up their copies of the new book 20 vintage carriages alltogether. That's too much for 3801 to pull up the grade to Moss Vale so a pair of '44 class' vintage diesels were doing helper service mid train. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of 3801 at work going up grade :-( but I do have some shots of the 44 class - need to put them on line later... After the trip, a rather tired engineer and a rather tired Harry Potter All of my photos from the day are on line here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yankinoz/sets/604497/ Not all train related, but I did get some great shots of the circus performers that were there - worth the visit
Benny: Really nice bucket loader. I assume the white is strip styrene. Is the darker part plastic, too? Do you have a drawing or picture to follow? Also, what scale? Again, nice job of scratchbuilding.
All plastic, all Strip/scratck. Between David Langs Photos, and some other plans and pictures I have here, Its getting together. A piece of advice ont he MDC plans: All you can use are the planes for maybe the bucket, the rest...well, its good for reference but nut much else! Marion Model 60
