Train number 5, the Argonaut, gets a P-13 class engine on the point today for the leg from Houston to El Paso. This started out as an Arnold Rapido 4-6-2 that I have had for about 40 years. I kit bashed it ten years ago and it is still grinding away. The RPO is made up of J&J brass sides and resin roof on a Bachmann shorty coach chassis with Microtrain trucks.
WOW!!! Russell, what an excellent photo!! I feel I am looking out a window in a nearby farmhouse. Here is my submission for the week. Same place as last weekend, different look to it I think, and a different train to boot.
SNFF 2008 04 04 Hi, all, Posting some photos of recent visit with good Trainboard friend William Cowie while I was passing thru Denver recently: Denver is a great railroad town, both in models (this is just one of the HO brass aisles at Caboose Hobbies: As well as former DRGW, Santa Fe, Joint Line trackage. This is the current lineup of stored UP locos at Denver: And a soon-to-be-retired SD90: Have a good week, all!
Only the 6000 hp SD90's. The SD9043's stay.(Basically they are SD70M's) The one pictured is a SD9043.
Golly, that doesn't sound like faint praise. Thank you very much...I am flattered. In that spirit, here is a slightly different view. I call this a bursting into morning light. The car interiors are still lit after a night's travel, but the T1 has nearly done its work, signified by the first rays of the dawning Sun. I hope you like it.
Micro Engineering speeder kit/ two per package. It was a simple to construct. The kit has a white metal casting for the frame, engine, wheels; the superstructure is five injection molded parts. I am unsure of how it should be weathered further. Right now it only has some black washes.
Mount Nolan Indistinct in on the horizon Mt. Nolan rises into the mist. Pete they are beautiful with the perfect amount of balence. They _should_ be up by 5pm when I must leave for a date. Arrgggg!
I just finished installing Digitrax DZ125 decoders in these two husky brutes, both Athearn BB's, an F7-A and a GP50.
A 2-8-0 takes on coal before sand and water. That's the Somerset Junction kit from N-Scale Architects--really good looking.
