MRL's local crossing one of Montana's many dirt roads guarded by gates. Photo taken on my diorama. HO scale. Both GP35 are Athearn RTR custom painted and weathered by me.

Hello again everyone. I just wanted to post a single shot of my layout that I am working on. This past weekend I finished laying my cork roadbed. This is my small yard at Logan, Montana. Here is the link to my blog: http://mrl369dude.blogspot.com/ . check it out.

Ted, First off nice shots. Second, how ever did those rocks did a great job. Very realistic! Third, tell me about your third engine the SD45. Is that a new Athearn unit? I just placed an order for my 3 MRL SD45 from Athearn from Josh on here.

I've been plugging along on my new layout. This weekend I put up the backdrop. This week I will start installing the foam scenery. A shot of the old backdrop used; I wanted to give using a photo backdrop a try but I think it is going to be a little too much for me right now...

Ted, A few more trees and that could look like a trestle somewhere near Maria's Pass. Great shot but next time replace BN with MRL like your last photo.:D Boy would I love to run on his layout. We would love to see more of Jim's layout if you have anymore.

I like it!

Frank, great photos!!!

I got my name and my two links. One is my cheap camera railfanning photos and the other is a link to my slideshow of my diorama on Photobucket

ATSFrailfan, I have the same NCE system and I think you are going to like it a lot for all that it has to offer. I have not experienced everything that it can do but I have a lot of time ahead of me to find out. Chemdawg, Since it sounds like you are more interested in the steam...

How about this one I found on Google Earth?

Well, I'm up to 6 GP35 (5 MRL:1 ATSF) and two SD35(MRL). Not sure just yet if that is a total for me or not.
