Weekend Modeling Photo Challenge "Machinery/Equipment" *Easter Special* Ends Tuesday, April 6th. **Due to the Easter holiday this weekend, our usual deadline will be extended 1 day until Tuesday, April 6th!** Most of the time we focus on the rail-equipment of industrial/freight operation. This week, I'd like to see some of the other machinery and equipment in use on our railroads. How about some cranes, fork lifts, bulldozers, tractors, and any other type of machinery used to improve railroad operations! *Please read all rules as they may have changed from previous weeks* If you notice a typo, error, or confusing statement, please notify user Mark Watson immediately for correction and clarification.

Late entries will be accepted up until the official "Time's up!" post within the thread. 3. For photos to be eligible they must be taken between Friday April 2nd and Tuesday, April 6th.

Only one image per participant so please choose the image carefully. 6. Though realism is popular among voters, it is not required. Any image or snap shot related to the topic is acceptable! 7. Though not required, commenting on other peoples pictures is encouraged. 8. Please use the Cutting Room Floor thread for related but ineligible images. 9. A cleaver and distinctive title for your image helps identify it among voters.

This will eventually be a waterfront crane, once the freight terminal is permanently placed on my layout. There, it will be used to transfer cargo between the freight depot, rail cars, and boats.
Thanks... The kit is produced by Modeltech Studios, see this thread: http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/showthread.php?t=115615
Not me. I'm still trying to recover my nerves from the 7.2 quake only 120 miles from me. Cheers, Jim CCRR/Socalz44
Yes, I herd about that. Well once your nerves are reestablished, I hope we'll see some heavy equipment from you. You know, gotta get the dozers and cranes out to clean up all that earthquake damage on the layout. Did any trains fall off the track?
RR crew have been helping me to finish shoring up the reservoir banks today. took some heavy equipment to get the job done.
Great photo Scott! I wonder if if a certain lease car will be seen helping along the shore there sometime in the distant future. :shut-mouth:
Awesome narrative Crandell! Way to take the topic and make it pop. This gives me a new idea to try out next modeling contest!
DJ, those dozers look great! Looks like it was a muddy day out there. Remember, we're open for business until Tuesday at midnight.
Uh oh.. Crandell's creeping up behind Scott in the lead! Just under 1 day left. Will Scott hold out? Will Crandell make the upset! Will Tracy or DJ make a late come back? Oh my, I cant watch, ITS TOO MUCH!! More votes are always welcome.
