Well guys i know im getting shots this weekend! Its the annual Trainfest Fall show at the Hutchinson fairgrounds so be ready for a movie and pics!
 
Brian, the gold series MP15DC is one sweet engine don't you think, i got one a few weeks back & i still havn't put the detail parts on, not sure if it will go back into it's fancy box with them fitted
 
I've been too busy getting all the Fall stuff done around the house to spend much time on the layout. A couple days ago some Tortis arrived so I will be back getting the finishing touches on the trackwork in the new room soon. In the meantime, I have been doing some scenery building near the tunnels and Outlet (river) just outside of the City of Kanandaqua on the layout.

Still foam city but taking shape:

Looking good Ray,,

just took a few pics in Coppull at the track renewal site, they got another half mile ripped up and are on with the ballast removal

this is where the old ballast goes, then they take it to be re cycled and used again

a bit further up the line is a ballast train, as is normal the engines hiding under a bridge, these are "Seacow" trucks

the device below is used to lift around twenty concrete ties at once into location ready for the rail to be clipped in place

Ok, an hour of hand sawing, and killing a blade, I have succesfully chopped a "lump" out of an Athearn SD40-2 chassis, so that the RPP SD45-2 shell would fit on it, look closely on the engineer's (far) side, the shell is orinetated to "drop" on:

Now with the shell on the chassis, BNSF 6460 is "done"!

Reminder, use a dremel, not a hand saw, its much easier.
 
nice bit of work Josh

some of the equipment taking a break, new rail and ties at rear capable of 140 mph running, or it will be once ballasted, and the old track and ties near camera with 110 mph speed limit
