Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed viewing your superb work and look forward to seeing more.

Is your CN Point St. Charles caboose a brass model?

 

[JR59]

Yes it's a Overland brass model weathered by Red Pine Models.

Yes it's a Overland brass model weathered by Red Pine Models.

I have one also, but haven't got the courage to weather it yet.

Cheers.

Great shots, and amazing modeling!

That foreground tree is stunning! I would love to see some closer pictures of that...perhaps of the build process...

Here is a good start.. grove den is the man! Pages 7 and on he describes how he makes them using wire, sawdust, filter fiber and some NOCH leaf flocking.

Ok...I quit!
How can I even come close to that level of craftsmanship?!
If I do get half way there, I'm going to be more than happy. Sure does give us all something to shoot for.
Just a humorous note; Notice the mid summer scene (first set of photos), the one with the water, in the long shot showing that it is a model sjows it was shot in the 'real' winter, and the winter scene is shot in the 'real' summer. That gave me a little laugh

Very nice! Is the black nose on the VIA RS10 prototypical?

 

[funnelfan]

Almost could have accused you of trying to pass off prototype photos as models ;^P

Your weathering is simply amazing! Also what did you use for ballast? That stuff looks a lot better than anything I've seen yet.

 

[skillman]

Bitchin!!! I was thinking that it was all just a little modern until I saw the black and white pictures. Great to see a "railroad modeler" at work.

Steve

Some good photography helps too.

Yes, the black nose is prototypical. I've bought the Engine from Tom Cox of Red Pine Precision Modeling and the Model has every detail from the real Engine.
